Welcome to your pet’s home away from home! Our pet-friendly space features a large, fenced yard for plenty of playtime and exercise. For safety, we have a doggy gate at the entrance to ensure smooth introductions and an extra barrier for those master escape artists. With over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages—from newborn to senior. I provide personalized attention that big kennels simply can’t match. I’m skilled in handling special needs, including food sensitivities and medication administration. Love and attention are never extra,they’re part of our daily routine! I work flexible hours which means I have plenty of time to give your pets the care and affection they deserve. When they stay with me, they’re not just boarded,they’re loved like family.

Information Kristin D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for before their stay. I want to make sure they have the best care and feel as at home as possible. We share our home with a dog friendly kitty. If we watch your dogs in our home, they must be ok with her company.

A typical day

Your pup will be played with and loved daily. I love taking the fur babies for walks around the neighborhood, dog parks, local trails, the beach and dog friendly restaurants to enjoy some music from time to time. Of course all based on what you and your pup are comfortable with.

Pet care experience

Let me spoil your pets and provide a fun and comfortable home away from home. Staying with me, you can feel confident that your pets will get much more attention, love, and play time than they would at a large kennel facility. In my home, there is no extra charge for love and attention, because it is a part of our daily routine (without exception). I have 20 years experience with caring for dogs and cats of all ages from new born to elderly. I am able to accommodate pets with food sensitivities, medication administration and other special needs.

Thank you again for taking care of our little “chicken” especially during the cold weather. Fantastic!

As always Kristin was a fantastic sitter and has been our sitter for years now. She had my 1 year old lab for a week and kept us up to date on everything. I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in finding a reliable sitter and doesn't want to leave their pup in a boarding facility.

Kristen was very welcoming and hospitable to our little Luna. She was very welcoming and worked with our schedule in terms of dropping her off. She gave us updates and even short videos reflecting that Luna was having fun with doggy friends. My wife and I would definitely recommend her for your pet care needs and she was very helpful during the booking process.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
