Pet care experience

I’ve been an animal lover 💕🐾my whole life from dogs to horses to hedgehogs. 🦔😅 I work from home and have loads of flexibility —I would love getting to know your dog! I engage with them and walk the greenway and give loads of love! Your dog will come home happy but exhausted from all of the playtime. 😇 My 8 year old daughter is with me every other 7 days, she’s one of the most aware children I know and has a love for all creatures, especially dogs. Feel free to ask if she will be with me that week. I have her Monday to Monday.

Kristin and her family were so good with our two pups. They came home happy and healthy. Her home is so cute (dog wallpaper!) and they currently live near some great walking trails. Our pups settled right in and we received timely updates and pictures. We will definitely rebook with Kristin if she offers services the next time we do a weekend vacation.

Kristin did an amazing job caring for our puppy, Sprout! She kept us updated throughout his stay, which gave us great peace of mind. Sprout seemed very comfortable and happy with her, and it was clear he was well cared for. We truly appreciate the attention, communication, and care she provided. We can’t thank Kristin enough for such a wonderful experience and would happily book with her again!

They were great with my old pup during his stay. Even during the meet and greet he was already very comfortable with Kristin, and, while he was with her, she provided me with regular updates. As a bonus when our trip home got delayed by a few hours, my 12 year old cattle dog mix, who still has boundless nervous energy, came home fed, relaxed, and tired.

Kristin and her daughter are both amazing! They have taken the best care of our Lola girl. I am so happy to have found them. Lola enjoys all the cuddles, snuggles, and play time outside. They truly are some of the best hands to leave a young puppy with!
