Availability

I am a bookkeeper and work from the office and home. My kids are off to college so having more pets around is welcome and enjoyable. I also have a 24 acre farm just 10 minutes from my house and will take dogs over for play time in the 11 acre fenced area if the owner approves. I can work dog visits or walks around my book keeping schedule and between my husband who works 5 am -1 and I we can have someone supervising dog guests almost all day.

Safety, trust & environment

I have two friendly dogs that love to play. I also have a cat during summer time who goes away to college each school year. My home is small and full of love. I have a large farm just 10 minutes from my house for more active dogs, with owner permission. I love being outside with dogs and lots of walks in our beautiful area. Although the house is small, I can separate dogs as needed for meals or quiet time in two bedrooms. I often feed guest dogs in my bedroom and my dogs in the kitchen which works well. My dogs are allowed up on the furniture and one chooses to sleep in our bed and the other prefers the dog bed on the floor. Let me know your house rules and I will enforce that here. My bed sleeping dog is fine sharing the bed with guest dogs and my husband and I love it.

Information Kristie N. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your animals have any special needs and also anything you are working on with them so I can reinforce it. I also appreciate knowing how often you prefer updates if you are boarding. I always send one with pictures at the end of the day, but am happy to send more updates if you prefer. I send reports with pictures for every walk and visit.

A typical day

I enjoy giving dogs stimulation and exercise. Depending on the dogs activity level, we take walks, play fetch outside or catch toys and kibble inside. We go in and out as needed and have plenty of toys here. If your dog has a favorite toy you are welcome to send it.

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of many dogs both in my home and at their home. I also have cat experience in their homes. I have raised kittens, puppies, and also said goodbye to senior dogs and cats. I can handle special needs and look forward to having a great time while safely caring for your pet.

We had many delays and had to add another day. Kristie and Mike were so understanding and flexible. Roxy was so well taken care of.
