Two dog lovers who work from home!

Pet care experience

May 2026 Update: After taking a 1 year break from dog sitting as we welcomed our daughter last year (who is now 1 year old) we are excited to be returning to dog sitting again! 😊 Since we have a toddler in the home we are now only able to watch dogs who are child-friendly and adjusted to having children around. Kristie is home with our daughter during the day so she is able to provide constant monitoring for safety of both the dog and child. Feel free to send us a message for more info! Thank you! My husband, Bryan, and I have owned dogs most of our lives, I grew up with a golden retriever mix and Bryan has owned a miniature poodle, basset mix, and chihuahua. Although we don’t have a dog or any other pets right now, we do have a fenced in back yard with plenty of room for a dog to run and plan to get a dog one day in the future! Bryan works from home and Kristie stays home to care for our 1 year old daughter. So we are both here during the day to let the dog out, give them plenty of attention, and make sure he/she is doing great! We are also flexible during evenings and weekends.

We continue to be thoroughly impressed with Kristie and Bryan’s care and attention to our dog! They keep us updated daily on their activities with her which we greatly appreciate while out of town.

We had our dog Bean stay with Kristie and Bryan when my wife and I were in the hospital welcoming our new baby! They were so flexible and even came to pick up bean since we were already in the hospital. We were so relieved that Bean had a safe and fun place to be. The updates and pictures were just what we needed to feel sure he was getting the best care and attention.

Kristie and Bryan were amazing at looking after our Boston Terrier, Billy. He’s an older rescue dog and very anxious, but we could tell he enjoyed being with them. They were fast at replying to texts and sent updates and photos, that were really appreciated. We felt completely at ease leaving Billy with Kristie and Bryan, and will certainly use them again. Thank you both!
