Let Me Spoil Your Dog!

DOGS ARE THE BEST THING ON EARTH I truly believe dogs make every day better! While I don't currently have a dog of my own, my passion for pups runs deep, and dog sitting is my favorite way to spend time with them. When your dog stays with me, they become part of the family. We'll enjoy plenty of walks around Arlington and explore the local trails – my home offers easy access to wooded hikes for an adventurous outing! For dogs who love kids, my nephews often join in the fun, providing extra playtime and cuddles. Your dog and I will be inseparable, ensuring they receive constant attention and affection.If your dog love other dogs, I will arrange many playdates with my friends dogs. I'm committed to making sure every dog leaves my home happy, tired, and well-cared for. Choose me for a dog-sitting experience where your best friend will feel loved, engaged, and right at home!

Doggy Day Care • Jul 24, 2026

Kristin took excellent care of my nervous 3 month old puppy. My puppy had never stayed at someone else’s home, and I felt super comfortable leaving her with Kristin. I got photos throughout the day and a tired happy puppy at pickup :) will definitely hire again!

Kristin was a good sitter, easy to work with, and Oscar came back happy. I'd ask her to watch him again/recommend to a friend.

We love Kristin and have used her many times in the past few years for both short and long trips. Our pup is very happy with lots of long walks!
