Dog loving family, works from home!
Pet care experience
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 7 and 9. 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 doggy daycare and boarding on weekends and weekdays, and have some availability to do drop in visits on weekdays. 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.
Reviews
Thank you Kristen and Nels and family for taking great care of Pearl! Great communication and updates throughout her stay. I look forward to having her in their care when future trips or stays come up. Thanks again!
Thank you Kristen, Nels and family for treating Rose as if she was your own. The 12 days Rose had with you while we were out of the country, gave us such peace of mind while away. She came back super happy to see us and not stressed at all. THANK YOU! For anyone who may see this review I highly suggest you book Kristen. We will again!
My dog had a great time! She came home happy and tired. :) And we got updates during her stay as well!
Thank you for taking such good care of Leo! We really appreciated Kristen and Nels caring for our Cavapoo while we were away. He was happy and calm when we brought him back home. It was so nice to get updates and photos of him during his stay as well. Thank you!

Information Kristen & Nels H. would like to know about your pet
We would love to know about your pet's daily schedule, their personality, and any "rules" that we should follow to maintain consistency with their home (sleeping in crate, etc.).
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.
