Dog person!!

Pet care experience

I have been around and helped care for dogs my whole life! I pride myself in being a responsible caretaker by ensuring that your dog gets the exercise and love that they need by taking them for long seawall walks, playing with them at the dog beach or playing catch at a big field! Rest assured your dog will feel very loved in my care 😊

Kristen and Reid had our golden retriever for the long w/e and took wonderful care of him! They were communicative and great to deal with, and clearly showed our pup a good time 🥰.

It’s my first time leaving my dog with someone other than family and I was constantly comforted by how caring and attentive Kristen was with our little girl. She updated me everyday with photos and really made our dog feel at home. I would absolutely recommend her and leave Charlie with her again. Thank you for helping me enjoy my trip!

Kirsten provided Winston a home away from home. She is so sweet and kind and very communicative. I needed a place for Winston as we were heading to Vancouver for an overnight trip, and she accommodated us on short notice. I would trust Kirsten with Winston again. She is amazing.
