Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced backyard where pets can get exercise. I do not leave pets outside for extended periods of time. I do inside boarding only. I have 1 dog (sometimes 3 if my fur nephews come to visit!) to keep your pet company or I can separate my personal pets if desired. I also have extra crates if you'd like your dog crated at certain times. So I can use mine or you can bring your own. I also have a medium sized doggy door if your pet is used to using one. I can also lock the doggy door if you'd like your pet to be secured inside. There is usually someone home at all times so we can walk your pet(s) as often as needed. I normally let outside about 4-5 times a day. If requested, I can do leash walks around the neighborhood 1-2 times a day. Cats are special creatures that take a lot of time to get used to a new environment. If you need a catsitter, we can discuss in detail. Just shoot me a message!

Information Kristen S. would like to know about your pet

Are they vaccinated? Spayed/neutered? Flea and tick free? Is your pet housetrained or litter trained? Are they crate trained? Will they need any medications while in my care? Do they do well other animals and children?

A typical day

We love to have a healthy balance of play time and relaxation. During your pets stay we will play fetch, go on walks (if requested), and snuggle. Each dog is different and we can always discuss exercise expectations when booking.

Small Animal Lover!

Pet care experience

I've owned cats and dogs my whole life. I have worked in the animal/vet field for over 6 years (until just recently) and have a lot of experience dealing with different breeds and species. I worked in an animal ICU so I am experienced on medical conditions and giving medications (including shots). I've worked with larger dogs and smaller and am very knowledgeable in pet behaviors and how to read them. I have also fostered dogs, cats, and kittens. I currently have 3 fur babies: 1 dog, a cat, and a bunny. I really enjoy caring for pets and would love the opportunity to care for your pet whenever needed.

Bama 🐶 had a great first time boarding stay with Kristen and her family. Kristen communicated during his stay and sent pics which eased my mind that he was doing well. He felt loved and right at home with them. I would definitely book with them again and i know he would love to come back!
