Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog loving family, works from home!
We have owned dogs from puppies to seniors for almost 20 years. We regularly dogsit for other families, and love dogs large and small. We have also fostered many service-dogs-in training through Can Do Canines. We have one very friendly cocker spaniel and two daughters ages 9 and 11. I work full-time from home and my husband works part-time from home, so we are very flexible with drop offs and pick ups. We let our dog outside at least every two hours and go for one shorter walk and one longer walk every day, except in extreme weather. We are flexible to accommodate any unique needs your pets might have. Our own dog needs daily medication, so we understand and are equipped to help your dog with most medical needs. Since we have flexible work schedules, and already have our own dog, we're accustomed to taking him out every 2-3 hours, and we're flexible with feeding on your dog's schedule. We're available for boarding on weekends and weekdays, and have some availability to do doggy day care during the week. We keep our pets in sight throughout the day, and always have their leashes on before opening the door to go outside. We ask and follow the rules that you have for your pet at home to keep them safe in our home.

Ratings and reviews
Great communication, and my dog came back happy as could be.

Kristen & Nels H. cancelled a booking within a day of the start date.
Kristen was amazing!! She watched our dog, Murphy over a holiday week/weekend and took such great care of him. We are so grateful and will definitely be booking again! Murphy enjoyed his stay! 💛

Kristen and Nels were great with our dog. He stayed for the weekend and had so much fun.

Finley Had a Wonderful Stay! Kristen is absolutely wonderful. Finley had a great time staying with her and was so well taken care of. I’m sure she loved having Kristen’s little girls to play with too. It’s such a relief to know your pup is in loving hands, and Kristen made it easy to feel completely comfortable leaving Finley. I am so appreciative!

Thanks for taking great care of Mia! She had a long-ish stay and even for visiting the first time with you I could tell she was comfortable and happy!

Schedule
We have a pretty traditional schedule, and fit in dog care in a way that works for their specific needs. Generally, we would take them outside every 3-4 hours.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We try to care for them the same way they are cared for in their own home! Keeping them on a similar schedule helps them when they are somewhere new.

A typical day
We have a nature preserve and trail right behind our house where we generally go for walks. In nicer weather, we also spend a lot of time outside on our (gated) deck or in the front yard with our kids. We love "lap dogs" of all sizes! Our own dog spends most of our day in my office with me.
