Pet care experience

I am a dog lover. I currently have 3 dogs of my own who are well cared for and walked daily. They are an elcletic group of dogs. I have worked with and handled all breeds of dogs, as well as cared for a police K-9. I have a lot of experience with potty training puppies, crate training, and general obedience training. I have a very large fenced in yard and outside kennels, so your dog will get to enjoy the comfort of home while you’re away! Your dog can also enjoy all the comforts of home inside as I make every effort to make my home their home away from home. **Please note, I will work with training puppies and grooming, but there are additional fees for those services. Please ask me at the time of booking if these are additional services for which you would be interested.**

Definitely not the best experience I’ve had with a rover sitter. It seemed like a revolving door of dogs which lead to stressing my dog out. My pup has never been one to be overstimulated by other dogs but when we went to pick him up he seemed very stressed out. His bedding cover was soaked and he smelled like he spent all his time in his kennel. I also had to prompt the sitter every time for an update and never received one without asking.

Excellent experience!! I highly recommend her for any type of care. Our dog loved her and she did a great job stopping in and making sure everything was filled up, etc. she also spent some time playing with her. We appreciate all she did.

Kristen is a fantastic dog parent for me when I’m out of town. My god had some special kind of issues and she taught me about my own dog and how to deal with the issues. I’ll be going back to Kristen for sure! And my Ginger is gunna be so happy!
