Professional Care You Can Trust

Pet care experience

Professional Dog Trainer recently relocated from the Sunshine State ☀️ I started my canine career in 2014, working in pet care as a Kennel Supervisor. This has allowed me to understand and handle dogs of all different ages, sizes, breeds, temperaments. I also have hands on experience with differently abled dogs! Now, as a Dog Trainer, I have a more specialized understanding of dog behavior. I am an AKC Evaluator, and member of the International Association of Canine Professionals. Not only am I able to provide exceptional care, but can also assist with problem solving behaviors and training! My specialties include puppy raising and training, behavior modification, aggression, therapy skills, and proper handling of working K9s. Having any training issues? We can discuss adding training onto your dog’s stay! ** All dogs must be up to date on Rabies, Distemper, Bordetella. Flea, Tick, Heartworm, and Intestinal Parasite Prevention is required. Proof of vaccinations and preventatives must be sent prior to accepting your dog’s stay. ** The activities your dog and I will enjoy together will depend on their age, training, and range of mobility! Activity is specialized for each dog to meet physical and mental needs, while keeping health and state of mind a priority. ✔ Walks ✔ Group Play ✔ Fetch ✔ Frisbee ✔ Dog Pacer Treadmill

Kristen really helped me feel comfortable about my fear anxiety reactive dog. She knew just what to do and how to gain my dogs trust. I was worried because I never boarded my dog before as this was our first trip, so Kristen went out of her way to set up a daycare day so I can be more comfortable. Sent updates everyday as well! Overall I really had a stress free vacation thanks to Kristen (:

Buzz seemed content when we got back home. Kristen sent updates, pictures, and would be sure to keep in touch about any concerns. She’s professional and confident. I would definitely ask for her to watch my dog again. Thank you again, Kristen!

Kristen was the perfect sitter for our girl, Fiona! Our dog has some "socialization" issues, but Kristen did fantastic, and took wonderful care of her. You can tell that she loves dogs! Both she and her boyfriend stayed with Fiona, and they were both incredible with our special girl. I would 100% trust them in my house again. Thank you Kristen for making me feel at peace about leaving Fiona at home!

Kristen was so good with my two dogs. She was punctual every day for drop-in visits, fed them, cleaned up after them, and seemed genuinely concerned when on o f the two wasn't eating or drinking much. She required little direction and kept everything in order, so when I returned it seemed like no one had been there! Would definitely book her again for my doggies!
