Kona had a blast playing with Randal in the backyard. Lots of photos and updates and very easy to communicate with. Was flexible when our flight got delayed and worked with us to extend the stay. Kona was almost disappointed when we picked her up since she was so spoiled. Any dog would be lucky to stay with Kristen and her family.

Kristen, her husband Dana and pup Randall are the best! It was clear from the initial meet and greet that Teagan and Randall would be pals! Although there is a four yr age difference, they played together nicely..Randall now has an annoying “little sister”! Kristen communicated with me every day by sending pictures and videos. I knew my Teagan was being well cared for which made our trip more enjoyable knowing she was getting the best care! I will definitely rebook with Kristen for future trips!

I’ve known Kristen for over 15 years. She is one of the most dog loving people I know! She has dog-sat for us on multiple occasions and our dog loves her!! I trust her 100% percent and would definitely recommend her for any dog needs you have!!!

Kristen is the epitome of a responsible and loving pet owner and care giver! She is a retired elementary school teacher and has been a loving mom to two great Labrador Retrievers. She loves and cares for all pets and appreciates their value as beloved family members. She is also an advocate for healthy feeding, regular exercise and lots of snuggles and belly rubs.😊 She takes all responsibilities very seriously and is a warm, supportive pet owner/lover.
