Highly Reliable Rox Mom and Dog Mom
Hi from an intuitive Roxborough mom of a toddler and dog mom of 30+ years! I’ve had dogs my whole life and will care for your furry best friend(s) like they’re my own child. I used to board dogs in my NYC apartment back when Rover was called Dog Vacay, hence the reviews from a decade ago. Now that my kid is in preschool, we have a fenced yard and a sweet dog that plays well with others, I’m ready to start caring for dogs again. Now booking new clients for: —SOLO WALKS from 9am to 5pm within 19128 and very nearby. Weekend hours are much more flexible. I used to walk the biggest and most reactive Brooklyn shelter dogs, in addition to my own rescue pit bull who had a severe brain disorder and fear-based aggression. Once he lost all control of his limbs, I had no choice but to carry him up and down four flights of stairs. All to say: I feel well equipped to manage your pup, no matter their temperament or special needs. —IN-HOME DOGGIE DAYCARE *for one dog at a time* (in addition to my own super sweet Mini Aussie). Hours can be flexible once everyone knows each other and gets along. I work from home, have a fenced yard and can give them so much attention and playtime, even in the winter. I’d prefer a long-term arrangement with one regular client and would offer a discounted rate for that, but am open to drop-ins at $40/day. I’d require a complimentary meet and greet prior to booking. Our Freddie boy gets very stressed around a bunch of new dogs, so I assume perhaps other dogs do as well, hence my desire to have just one other dog here with him. He’s neutered and seems to really enjoy other dogs as long as it’s a 1:1 scenario. —OVERNIGHT BOARDING IN MY HOME. I’m open to requests for boarding your dog in our home, providing you trust them entirely around young children. Given that my child’s safety is my top priority, I’d always want to do a meet and greet before accepting the booking request. —WEEKEND-ONLY HOUSE SITTING AT YOUR PLACE. I can be there as early as 9am Saturday and can stay until 7pm Sunday. Worth noting that I have a car that could come in handy in the case of any emergency requiring a vet visit. I’m able to give oral medication. While I’ve never injected meds, I bet I could figure that out with a little guidance and practice. Can’t wait to meet you and your amazing dog!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Kristin took great care of Kennedy. She sent lots of pictures and updates and I could see that he was very happy. We're already planning a second visit. Highly recommend.
Kristin is the absolute best puppy caregiver I’ve ever worked with! She was incredibly responsible, attentive, and kept me updated throughout Everest’s stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. Everest had an absolute blast playing with her dog and enjoying her beautiful backyard — I could tell he felt completely at home and was having the best time. Kristin truly treated Everest like one of her own, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would trust her with him again in a heartbeat and cannot recommend her enough!
We left Sunny with Kristin for the first time for 5 days/nights, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Kristin was incredibly caring and attentive to Sunny’s individual needs, and it was clear that she genuinely wanted to make her feel comfortable and at home. Kristin truly went above and beyond to make sure Sunny had everything she needed and received plenty of care and attention. We would absolutely trust Kristin with Sunny again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and loving dog sitter!
Kristin was amazing and our boy Sherman had the best time with her and her family. She was extremely communicative and attentive, and provided so many photos of our little guy throughout the weekend so we didn’t have to worry about him. It’s hard leaving your pup with someone new and she made it as easy as it could be.
Kristin was wonderful with our dog! She has a large yard and an adorable dog who ours loved to play with. She sent tons of great pictures and brightened our day. Highly recommend!
Super kind, very trustworthy, and phenomenal care! I love going away knowing my baby is in good hands. The photo updates are amazing noteworthy too. I would book Kristin again without a doubt.

Safety, trust & environment
SAFETY, TRUST & ENVIRONMENT: As mentioned above, our yard is fenced and I work from home, so am present and available for most of the day. Our Mini Aussie is neutered and always current on vaccinations. He’s a sweetheart, though I’d prefer to have a meet and greet prior to any new dog being introduced for a stay.
