Availability

I’m available for weekend boarding and love giving dogs a safe, comfortable, and loving home away from home. Every dog receives personalized care based on their routine, energy level, and personality. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playing fetch, snuggles, or simply relaxing in a quiet environment, I make sure they feel happy, secure, and loved throughout their stay. Please message me with your scheduling needs and I will do my best to accommodate. Thank you <3

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, with plenty of space to relax and a fully fenced yard for safe, supervised outdoor time. I never leave dogs unattended outside, and I closely monitor them during play and throughout the day.

Loving and Reliable Care

Pet care experience

I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and understand that pets are family. I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, and I’m comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and maintaining each dog’s regular routine. I’m committed to providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where every dog feels at home. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or relaxing with plenty of attention, I’ll make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I carefully follow each pet’s feeding schedule, exercise routine, medications, and any special instructions to ensure consistency and peace of mind. You can count on regular photo updates, reliable communication, and dependable care throughout your dog’s stay. My goal is to treat every dog like family and make their time with me fun, safe, and as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pet.

Trusting Kristen with my pets was the best thing I could have done while traveling. She is an animal lover, prompt, organized, has great communication, trustworthy, and will always love your animal like her own. You couldn't ask for a better dog sitter or dog walker!

Kristen is the absolute perfect person to care for pets. She is kind, loving, dependable, trustworthy and someone I would trust to be in my home not matter the duration of visit. Her presence is calming and uplifting when the time is right. She has a great intuitive understanding of people and pets and she is someone who can take charge in an emergency and make logical, rational decisions in her life and others . I absolutely trust Kristen to be around my home, friends, neighbors and pet. She has watched my cat who has special needs and never skipped a requested task.

Kristen is a dog loving person that instantly bonds with each dog she meets. I have seen her with many dogs and she truly enjoys being in their company. Even anxious dogs feel comfortable in her care. She and her husband , who also loves dogs, have a dog friendly home and backyard.
