Two dog lovers who work from home!

Pet care experience

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! My husband and I both work from home (Kristie occasionally goes into the office 1 day per week) 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.

Kristie and Bryan were perfect sitters for our Maddie! This is our second time using their services and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter. They made her feel right at home and took very special care of her for us.

I recently entrusted my American Shepherd, Daphne, to Kristie and Bryan for a weekend, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. They are exceptional dog sitters who go above and beyond in their care. What stood out to me was the daily updates and photos they sent. It was reassuring and delightful to see Daphne enjoying her time with them. These updates showed her happy and relaxed, which put my mind at ease while I was away. Moreover, Kristie and Bryan made sure Daphne got her regular exercise through daily walks, which I greatly appreciated. It's clear that they genuinely love and understand animals, and their dedication is evident in every aspect of their service. Based on my experience, I highly recommend Kristie and Bryan to anyone looking for dependable, loving, and attentive care for their furry family members. I am definitely planning to use their services again in the future.

Kristie and Bryan were fantastic watching our husky (Izze) for the day! With our dog’s separation anxiety, we were very lucky to find Kristie and Brian, who were able to stay with her the whole day while we were out with family. I really appreciated Kristie showing me her fenced in yard, but also understanding that huskies (including Izze) can be quite the escape artists and still keeping an eye on her. We loved getting multiple detailed updates and photos throughout the day, and Izze seemed like she was having a blast with them! We didn’t feel like Izze wanted to leave when we picked her up. We would not hesitate to use Kristie and Bryan again, and we know Izze would be thrilled to go back!
