Caring for Pets Like Family

Your pet’s second home — full of love, play, and adventure! Hi, I’m Kristen! Animals have always been a part of my life. Growing up, we had dogs, cats, and birds, and today, I foster for a local rescue organization. I truly can’t imagine life without animals — they bring so much joy, companionship, and love. Friends and family have trusted me for years to watch over their beloved pets. I understand that pets are not just animals — they’re family, and they deserve to feel safe, loved, and happy at all times. That's why, when your pet stays with me, they become part of our family. A little about me: I’m also a teacher with summers off, which means tons of time for walks, playtime, and cuddles! During the school year, my partner works from home so they will never be alone. I organize our days to keep your pet active, mentally stimulated, and, most importantly, feeling safe and loved. We are an active, outdoorsy family, and your pup will enjoy long walks, play sessions, games, and plenty of exercise if they love it. Cuddle bugs are more than welcome, too — we love lazy snuggle time just as much as outdoor adventures! My promise to you: I will treat your pet like family— with unconditional love, attention, and the best care possible. I know how hard it can be to leave your furry friend behind, and I’m honored to help give them a fun, loving, and safe stay while you're away.

After a meet and greet with Kristen, I felt comfortable leaving Spanky with her. She kept me up to date on how he did each day and sent several photos. We will definitely be contacting her for dog care the next time we need it.

Kristen was so great with our senior kitty that requires a bit of extra attention! She followed all medication dosing instructions and was so kind to brush him and give him pets while we were gone. We truly appreciate the care she provided 😊

Kristen is a wonderful host. My pet loved staying with her. She communicated with us on regular basis on how my pet is doing along with pictures. I can't hope for a better host.
