LOVE our Doggy Daycare and Boarding

Pet care experience

My son Jack and I have been pet sitting and dog walkers all of his life. 14 years later, we still love happy wagging tails and contented purrs from our clients! We put a lot of thought and attention into making sure our Rover guests enjoy their stay. We love our pets and treat every pet like we would want our own treated. I am a teacher in non-COVID times and bring that structure and fun to our pet sitting. We don't just throw the dogs in our backyard for the day. We start with organized play allowing all the dogs to get to know each other. Then we supervise play as the dogs run and interact positively. I have nap times scheduled, so nobody gets overwhelmed or too tired. I pay special attention to our smaller and younger guests; they will be in a safe environment and not run over by larger dogs. I don’t take dogs over 40lbs. I always monitor how our guests feel, and if they need a quiet space or some extra pets, we oblige. For our boarders, we have normal meal times, morning and night. Evenings, we like to wind everyone down and have family movie nights. The dogs usually make themselves comfortable in the family room with us, and it's an easy transition to bedtime. We have dog beds in every room and make sure everyone is sleeping where they are comfortable. I am a stay at home mom, gardener, clay artist, and all-around outdoor enthusiast; weather permitting, your pooches can get plenty of supervised outdoor time with me. We really make an effort to make sure every guest is happy, safe, and having fun while they are with us.

Kristin was great. This was Ranger first time at a doggy day care and Kristin was very understanding. She sent me an email that he was doing great and then a follow up picture. Thank you so much Kristin. Will definitely contact you next time we are in Asheville.

Kristin was wonderful with our dog cashew. Cashew seemed at home and very settled in within less than a day. Would highly recommend Kristin to take good care of your loved pet.

Information Kristin H. would like to know about your pet

I am used to special dogs, as mine are as well! If they have some quirks or need medicine, that’s no problem. I treat every guest like I would my own spoiled rotten pups.

A typical day

I have a lot of success keeping dogs from having separation anxiety while in my care. I have a yard full of toys and we got out several times a day to chase balls and do laps around the yard.

I am a full time pet sitter these days so your pet most likely won’t ever be alone while in my care. If we do leave, I put everyone in a separate, safe place for a good nap.
