I work from home full-time!
Pet care experience
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY! I just changed careers after being a teacher for four years and I now work from home for an education business company. I am available every day of the week, Monday-Friday. I do have a 10 month old golden retriever puppy named Kingston who is amazing with other dogs. He matches other dogs "vibes" very well and will leave the dog alone if the dog doesn't want to play. He can come on the walks if the owner doesn't mind, or, he can stay home.
Reviews
Kristin sat for our Ralphie for a few days a week for a while. She was punctual, flexible and friendly. Ralphie/we needed her there all day due to his anxiety; we adopted him in February and he needed time to adjust to our home. It worked out really well since she can work from home, so she just logged into our wifi. It helped Ralphie and us out immensely knowing Kristin was there to help ease his mind. We wish she hadn't moved! Lol!
Kristin did a great job with Layla. She was timely, responsible, and great!
Kristin was recommended as a dog sitter to me by her mother. Her mother and I are good friends. Kristin first watched my dog a few years ago when I went away on a business trip. She did an EXCELLENT job! I was nervous leaving my anxious dog alone, but Kristin did a great job comforting her as well as me through the various pictures she sent of them snuggling. Since then, she has stayed at my house during the week to watch my dog while she was sick. My dog needed to constantly go to the bathroom and Kristin always made sure that she didn't go in the house. Kristin is one of the only people I would trust with my dog, and in my house. I am lucky to have had her.
Kristin and I have been friends for awhile which is why it was easy to trust her watching my two dogs. Whenever we hang out, she always asks if the dogs can come. She is very gentle, loving, and friendly with my dogs. My dogs aren't always the friendliest with others outside my home, but they love when Kristin comes over. I would recommend Kristin to watch any type of dog, big or small, puppy or old. I can ensure you your dog will be in good hands.

Safety, trust & environment
Fenced in HUGE back yard for lots of fetch/running around. I have gates that can block off areas of the house if needed. Also have a balcony off the kitchen that's fenced in for your pup to hang outside.
Home
Information Kristin A. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if there is anything that makes him/her upset. I also would like to know what your dog enjoys most, such as his/her favorite toy, treat, spot to lay, spot to be pet, activity, etc. Does your dog get along with other dogs? How trained is your pup? I do not feel comfortable watching these breeds: German Sheppard, Akita, Rottweiler, Pit Bull(also known as American Staffordshire Terrier, American Pit Bull Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier), Chow-Chow, Saint Bernard, Shar Pei, Great Dane, Doberman Pinsher, Alaskan Malamute, Mastiff's, Bul Mastiff's, Newfoundland's, Burnese Mountain and all "mixes" of the above breeds. I also do not feel comfortable walking dogs that are not leash trained. No pulling, no tugging, no dragging! Oh - can't forget to say that I am a BIG fan of puppies!
A typical day
I have a wonderful neighborhood to walk around in. Also up for going to a park to throw a tennis ball and going on runs with your pup.

Availability
My dog Kingston is my buddy during the day. He is the ultimate "velcro dog." Since I work from home, my days can revolve around him. He gets 2+ walks per day, as would your pup if he is doing doggy day care here. Multiple potty breaks, lots of treats and belly rubs :)
