Separation Anxiety?

I lost my best dog friend a few years ago, and miss having a dog in my life so much. But I travel a lot during the summer, and I'm not ready to adopt another dog just yet. I would love to give someone else's dog a loving home when they are away, because I know how hard it is to leave a dog behind. I love to adventure with dogs, so if your dog is active - and doesn't eat cats - they will have a great time with me.

I can’t say enough good things about Kristi. She has been absolutely amazing with my dog and the patience of a Saint. She takes care of him like he’s her own — keeps me updated, gives him tons of love, and genuinely goes above and beyond every single time. It gives me so much peace knowing he’s somewhere he feels safe, happy, and adored. It’s truly become his second home and I’m endlessly grateful for the love and comfort she gives him.

Kristi did an absolutely amazing job with Cherry! Cherry is very shy, but Kristi was so patient and kind to her. She gave me updates throughout my dogs stay with photos and was very responsive. I would definitely recommend Kristi to anyone and I will be a repeat customer!

Kristi did a GREAT job watching our pug! We highly recommend! Our dog was well loved and spoiled during her stay at Kristi's house and we got many updates and photos so we were not worried about her at all! We will definitely book again and again! :)

Our experience with Kristi was amazing! From our meet and greet to drop off/pickup, the process was smooth and easy. She was very communicative and sent us photos of our boy while on their adventures. We would definitely book with her again. 10/10 recommend!

Kristi was absolutely phenomenal with my dog Olive! She arranged for time to meet Olive ahead of time, made sure she knew all about how to best take care of her, and was extremely responsive throughout the whole setup process. While watching Olive, she routinely sent updates and photos, and kept in very good touch. Olive is a high-energy border collie, and Kristi went on runs or adventures to the dog park with her every day! It was an absolute blessing to find Kristi and I thoroughly recommend her if you are looking for someone kind, carding, responsive, and well-versed in how to give dogs the happiest of days!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I am a teacher, and get home by 4pm almost every day. I have a fenced in yard and a dog door, so dogs can have as many bathroom breaks as needed throughout my work day. I'm a morning person, so I can walk dogs before work if needed, and always do a long walk at the end of the day. On the weekends, I like to hike or cross country ski, and love having a dog companion.

A typical day

I live near the Rancho San Rafael dog park, and I love taking dogs there. If your dog isn't into dog parks, I also like taking them to Sierra Vista or Mayberry Park. I also loving walking dogs at the Thomas Creek Trail. During the winter, cross country skiing with dogs is one of my favorite activities.

If you want your dog to stay at my house, I need to know if they coexist well with cats, and if there any objects (such as shoes) that I need to put away so they don't become extra chew toys :)
