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 4 fur babies: 2 dogs, a cat, and a bunny. I really enjoy caring for pets and would love the opportunity to care for your pet whenever needed.
Reviews
Very warm. Nelson had a great time.
Bailey (our pup) had the best time with Kristen and her family. They were so sweet, friendly and accommodating. Bailey was well taken care for and happy for a Thanksgiving sleepover. Kristen sent updates and pics the whole time. We're so happy and will be sure to book again!
Kristen was great - and very kind to accept the boarding at the last minute. Her fur babies were very accommodating to share their home with my fur babies. Her dogs even dressed up for the visit by wearing their bow ties! They have a great yard for the dogs. A great experience.
Kristen is just what our dog needed. Kristen is very attentive. A great communicator and quick to share pictures and comments. Kristen and her family made our dog comfortable, and I think our dog would have been very happy just taking up residence with Kristen and her family. I would not hesitate to leave any animal in her care. She was great, and I look forward to leaving our dog with her again!!! Absolutely no hesitations!!!

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 2 dogs 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. I am home all day so I 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
Is your dog housetrained? 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 desired), and snuggle. Each dog is different and we can always discuss exercise expectations when booking.
