"Who's a good boy?"

Pet care experience

I'm a kindergarten teacher and a mom of two kids. We have a golden retriever and a lot of land! Dogs that visit us can run their hearts out. I can help people and families care for their dogs while they're on a vacation or away at work.

Kristin was very professional and was great with communication. Her dog, Banjo, was an absolute gem and the two dogs played like brothers. I would recommend her services to everyone and will definitely be a repeat customer.

Kristin had my dog, Chase, for a week and she was absolutely fabulous! She sent videos and pics throughout the week which was great! Her proper is a dog’s dream … especially a lab or any water dog! Thank you Kristin!

Kristin is an amazing soul who treats her dog and other animals she watches and cares for like her own! She will play, love, snuggle, feed, and walk your animal just like you would do and were there. I would recommend Kristin for any of my animals. She is truly amazing individual, a kindergarten teacher at that, a person who loves and cares for humans and animals like no other!

Kristin always takes amazing care of my dog, Kobe! Over the past few years she’s taken care of him if I’m out of town. She makes sure he gets lots of exercise and playtime, and always updates me on how he’s doing. I’m never worried knowing that Kristin is taking awesome care of him!

Safety, trust & environment

Our home is on forty-three acres! We have no fenced yard, but we're very far from the road. Depending on your dogs' needs, I can walk on a leash and/or use our outdoor long cable. So far, all the dogs I've cared for have remained unleashed and always stay by me and close to the home. In addition, I'll take dozens of pictures of your pup because I just can't help myself. A dog sitter and a photographer? What's better than that!?

Information Kristin D. would like to know about your pet

We love ALL dogs but, of course, Golden Retrievers are our favorite! We're excited for the opportunity to care for your dog. Thank you for entrusting us with your special fur baby.

A typical day

We live on an old farm that we are slowly renovating and restoring! We have tons of open space, wooded trails and a beautiful pond. We just love exploring our farm! Honestly, this dog sitting job is a lot harder than I expected. Dogs are totally exhausting, but it's so important to me that they get the mental stimulation and physical exercise they need, with juuuust enough naps in between!
