Pet care experience

I love dogs and have had a dog most of my life, growing up and as an adult! I grew up with a smaller dog (Shit Zhu). Currently we have one female Labradoodle; we lost our 15 y.o lab mix in fall of 2025 so Daisy loves having friends to come over to stay! We are an active family and spend a lot of time outside. I have 2 teenage kids age 15 and 17. They are also dog lovers and are very helpful with pet care. If needed, the kids can give your pet space too. I have good awareness of pet behaviors, can read your dog’s comfort level and can provide space as needed. We would love to host your dog at a nurturing and calm environment with plenty of walks!

Otis had a wonderful time with Kristen and Daisy! Kristen was attentive to his needs and I felt completely confident that she had his best interests at heart. I truly appreciate the care she provided and would absolutely recommend her to others

Kristen took amazing care of Stormy while we were away camping. For my first time using Rover I was nervous and didn’t know what to expect. We got daily updates with pictures. The dogs played together like they’ve known each other forever. Kristen will be the first person I reach out to anytime we need someone to take care of Stormy!

My dog Ivy and I just did our first overnight and she was awesome. Very welcoming and open to a meet-n-greet prior to the overnight to make sure it was a good fit. I also got some fun updates and photos to make sure she was doing well. 5/5 recommend!
