Cozy Home Next to Trails & Parks!

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Kristen! I'm a stay at home dog mom, I'm a Rover.com photographer, and I own my own pet photography business! My work-from-home career allows me to provide your dog with the most committed care and attention he/she deserves when they are at their home away from home. I have a large grassy yard for dogs to run/roll around in as well as a beautiful forest trail that is great for walks, rain or shine! We have two dogs of our own (an 80lb labrador, and a 7lb yorkshire terrier) and I understand the stress and anxiety of trusting who to leave your pets with when you are going out of town, which is why it’s so important for me to make sure that you know that your dog feels safe and happy while you’re away. I absolutely love dogs, and there’s nothing better than making them happy! If you leave your pet in our care you can expect responsive customer service any time day or night, and daily updates and pictures of your fur baby lounging, playing, and enjoying life on their vacation. My home is very welcoming to new pups. Although I’ll be the primary caregiver, my husband helps out with some of the responsibilities as well. He may actually love dogs more than I do, if that's even possible! I call him "the Dog Whisperer." Your pup will be spending time with my Yorkshire Terrier and my Labrador as well! They're great babysitters and love to play and romp around. During a stay, I will spoil your dog with love! I'm extremely patient and love working with pups to make them feel comfortable around me. It’s my number one priority to make sure that both pups and owners feel well taken care of during a stay. I will send you beautiful images of your pup playing and enjoying their time at my house, and keep you informed of how your dog is doing as much as you would like. My neighborhood is full of dogs, grassy areas, a forest area with some trails, and I have a lovely yard for running around safely! My neighborhood is beautiful, dog friendly, and quiet. SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS: Both of our dogs sleep in cozy crates in our bedroom. Your loved one will sleep in the master bedroom with us as well. Crate's are preferred, but we are also happy to set up their bed or make a 'blanket bed' on the floor for your fido. PICK UP & DROP OFF HOURS: Our sleeping hours are 10pm to 6:30am. If you expect that you cannot pick your pet up until after 10pm, we respectfully ask that you pick up the next day. If you need to pick up early the next morning vs. late in the evening, I will not charge you an additional day of boarding. POTTY TRAINING: We understand that dogs have accidents, especially in a new environment. Luckily we have wood floors through most of the home! However, if your dog arrives and it turns out they are not potty trained at all, we will charge an additional $40 cleaning fee. We look forward to meeting your dog and giving him/her the same loving care that we give our own

I have a difficult but very lovable rescue puppy and Kristen did great with her. Kristen provided many opportunities for Buffy to be/feel like a successful good dog. Buffy was happy, tired, and confident on her return home.

Kristen was so good with our dog, Ella. Ella can be pretty shy at first, but Kristen and her dogs were so friendly that it didn't take long for Ella to feel right at home. We got updates and great pictures each day so we didn't have to worry and we got to see just how much fun they were having hiking and playing in the sun. Thank you so much, Kristen!

Kristen and her pups were great for Timber. He needed some extra attention, exercise and companionship due to my other dog passing just before this stay. Timber got tons of play time, hikes, and a beach trip. I got twice or more updates and pics! I felt like my dog got to go to camp, not just a sitter.

Information Kristen T. would like to know about your pet

Some things I like to learn ahead of time: Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? What’s your preferred method of communication? Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? What’s the best way to spoil your pup?

A typical day

We will have a great time together! I know how much pups need to get exercise, so I’m happy to get tons of walks in. But that’s not all we’ll do! We will play fetch, go to the dog park, enjoy couch cuddles, watch a movie or two, go on walks through my beautiful neighborhood, and discuss how to achieve world peace. We’ll be side-by-side all day and night, so I’m just happy to play by their schedule and do what your pup loves!
