Pet care experience
Gigi’s Dog Lounge
Hi! My name is Kristin, I grew up with with dogs and cats, and was raised to love and respect all animals. As an adult I have had cats and dogs over the past 25 years. Over the last 18 years, I have had three Golden Retrievers, one Chocolate Labrador and my current dog, Rider, who is a two year old, Golden Retriever. I love dogs and the unconditional love and companionship they offer. I am a dog lover and parent of grown children, so I understand the importance of having a loving, responsible and attentive caregiver for your pet. Your dog’s care, safety and comfort are my top priorities. My dog Rider is a friendly and playful dog; he gets along with every dog and human he encounters. He has a nice friendly temperament and is not aggressive. Your dog will never be without a playmate, because Rider loves having friends around. Your pup will be treated like one of the family. When you put your precious pooch in my care I will give you a brief sheet to fill out so I will be able to meet all of your dogs needs (feeding, meds, (dis)likes etc...) I have a bright and spacious apartment and I am a non-smoker. I have bowls and toys, but I do recommend that you provide a bed or snuggly for your dog, for his/her own comfort. While boarding, your dog will be walked three times a day. *If your dog doesn't like long walks, that is fine. I am here to accommodate your dogs needs. Your dog should be good natured, play well with others, up to date on vaccinations, flea/tick treatments; and he/she must be potty-trained. *All fixed, full grown, small, large, and mixed (non-aggressive) breeds are welcome. *I do a meet and greet before any guest boards, to make sure everyone is comfy! *I only do last minute reservations if you are an established customer. *Please note that I will work with you, but on weekends and holidays the check out time is 5p.m.

Ratings and reviews
Once again my dog Fred had a wonderful time with Kristin. Kristin worked around my schedule, sent me photo and video updates, and took great care of the little fur ball. I highly recommend Kristin!
Ruffus has stayed with Kristin multiple times and has enjoyed every stay. He really gets along well with her dog Glory and we always look forward to the photo updates while we are away.
Kristin was terrific. Every day we received multiple photo and video updates, as well as notes about how Cooper was doing. She was also adamant about staying organized and making sure she had all necessary info to take the best possible care of our best friend. Would highly recommend.
I've been leaving Brody with Kristin for quite a while now and once again she was awesome. Brody has such a good time when he is there and she's amazing at sending daily updates. Can't say enough good things. Thank you Kristin! :)
Kristin took great care of my dog Sadie while I was away for the weekend! Kristin sent lots of photos and videos of Sadie, and included a description of what they had done that day, which is much appreciated! And Sadie loved playing with Kristin's dog, Glory! I definitely plan to use Kristin again in the future.
This is our third time we have left our Stella with Kristin this year. Each time has been a period of a week or longer and as usual Stella's stay was filled with love and hugs. Kristin was great with updating us with pictures and videos everyday. We were able to enjoy our holiday in peace knowing Stella was with Kristin and Glory. We couldn't be happier with Kristin!

Similar to you, I work full time and make time for my pup. In the morning a 20-30 minute sniff and potty walk. After work another 30 minute walk or walk in the park.

Safety, trust & environment
My dog is crate trained, but I separate my dog and guests when I can’t full supervise. I use baby gates, but have a crate too.
Pets

Any animal in my care will be loved and attended to like my own. Pets, ear scritches and belly if allowed. Your pet will get to play with my pup and me.
