Drop-Ins for Pets & Dog Boarding

Pet care experience

With 25 years dog sitting and 4 + years of cat sitting experience including season long stays, my goal is to give you and your pet(s) a loving, trustworthy, reliable experience. I’m home full time and board dogs, 3 at a time. I love checking in on your pets; whether dog, cat, reptile, or fish when your away. To feed, freshen water, change litter, let out, love and play with y then while you’re away. I’ll send you updates and photos. I’m pet CPR & First Aid Certified. A boarding or daycare day in my home includes walks, playtime, puzzles, commands practice, socialization, cuddles, agility games, and... conversation. I adjust activity to your dogs need level. With permission, we go for car rides to a river walk, a park, or a family or friends pet friendly home so they’re with me when allowed. Meal and bedtime routines are kept similar to their home life. Meals are fed separate from one another to prevent arguments. I have a 2 door system to leash dogs and am generally outside with your dog for potty breaks or on occasion watching them at the door. For Senior or Special Needs Dogs: Space is available for them to have quiet time. Topical and oral medicines can be given. Contact me for other need accommodations. I’m Pet CPR & First Aid trained. Let me know what’s needed during the meet and greet or give me a call in advance. Health: **Please bring vaccination & lab results to the meet and greet. (Kennel Cough Vaccination needed). Symptoms or known exposure Within 14 days to COVID-19 aren’t allowed. **Dogs with communicable diseases or fleas need to be treated and cleared for care before boarding. **Questions, please contact me. When/during Booking: Vacation planning, work hours and traffic can change. It’s ok. Let’s communicate. *Add on service: Dog Baths avail. Grooming not avail. Drop offs and Pick Ups are available And price is adjusted based on distance and if needed for one or both sides of the stay. Hope to see you soon!

Kristi was fantastic. Great communication throughout, including very detailed visit reports with lots of pictures. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our cats were in great hands.

Kristi was caring, thoughtful and so sweet with my fur babies!! I didn't even have service in some parts of my trip when I was away and I felt safe knowing she was there taking care of my kitties! She was attentive and sent me tons of updates while I was gone. She'll definitely be getting an invite back for future trips! ? 10/10!!!!
