Loving home and heart to share
Pet care experience
I recently lost my little one to cancer and have so much love left to share. I've cared for pets of my own (15 years), of neighbors since I was a wee little kiddo, and of friends for as long as I can remember. I go for walks once or sometimes twice a day, and make special pup-friendly scrumptious meals (if I have the ok from mom or dad) and just love having the company of a pup around for all of it. From my heart to yours, your pup will be in the best of hands.
Reviews
Kristen was the perfect "step-mom" for Ali, our Great Pyrenees. The pictures she provided showed a happy, smiling dog! We definitely recommend her and will certainly use her again!
Kristen was awesome with Lyla. This past weekend we had below zero weather and she was still able to exercise her with my light tracker in her basement. Lyla is also very timid when it is windy outside, and Kristen didn't seem to have any issues with her this past weekend with our subzero weather and wind. Lyla was well taken care of while I was away and I would differently want to use Kristen in the future.
Kristen did a wonderful job, taking care of my dog Kwame! She was so nice and positive and sent a lot of pictures. I have no doubt in my mind that Kwame was well taken care of, thanks!
Kristen was amazing! Very sweet and responsive. She took excellent care of our dog for 8 days while we were on vacation. We received frequent picture updates on how he was doing- he had a blast! Lots of walks and cuddles. Kristen even spent a significant amount of time brushing him (he is fluffy), which we greatly appreciated. We will 100% be using her in the future.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a large fenced yard and a dog door so your pup can easily come and go to the yard as needed. I have blankets down on the furniture too so if your pups are allowed on couches, I welcome the snuggles and I'm very liberal with the belly scratches.
Home
Information Kristen S. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors I can account for. Are they ok interacting with other dogs? Are they particularly nervous or scared of anything? Do they have any dietary restrictions?
A typical day
I have a group of friends who we regularly get our puppies together for play dates/social hours. I go for regular walks around greenways where there's plenty to sniff around for mental stimulation, play fetch and tug-of-war in the yard, go swimming and paddleboarding at Union Reservoir at their dog beach, and go for local weekend hikes. I can be as active or as low-key as your fur babe needs.
Services
Kristen can host
Availability
I wake up early every day and go for a walk to start off on the right foot. I work from home 50% of the week so your pup will get full-time care Thursday-Sunday and I work shorter in-office days on Mondays and Tuesdays so I'm never away from home for more than 8 hours. I have my daily walks and on weekends I'm usually hiking or out paddleboarding and playing at the dog-friendly beach with my friends and their fur babies.
