Information Kristin M. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know anything in particular that your dog likes or doesn't like, as well as their usual routine. Also important is how they do at night or while I'm gone for a couple of hours: puppies need to be crate trained, but older dogs do not, assuming they can be trusted in the house (within reason). Senior dogs need to be able to navigate stairs safely.

A typical day

I have a yard filled with lots of new smells. We will walk and explore the neighborhood and also have plenty of time for snuggles.

Dog friends make the best friends

Pet care experience

A long-time dog owner, my most recent pup passed during Covid. Now I'm looking to bring some dog-love into my life while giving your dog a safe, calm, and playful place to be. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes. My last dog was reactive around dogs he did not know, and I know it can be stressful to find a place to board dogs prone to reactivity. Whatever your situation, I would like to be a haven for you and your pup, so that you do not have to worry while you are away.

I was a little nervous leaving my dog with someone new, but Kristin was wonderful. She kept me updated with photos, which I really appreciated, and it was obvious my dog was having a great time. One of her favorite things is playing in water, so seeing all the fun she had made me so happy. She came home tired and happy, and I could tell she had been well cared for.

This is our second booking with Kristin and it has once again been fantastic. Easy drop off and pick up, great communication, assisted with special needs for feeding, and our boy seemed to enjoy his stay again.

Kristin and her family as always are amazing! She does a phenomenal giving our dog Weatherly a home away from home. The whole family chips in to provide the love, care, and attention to our dog. We've already rebooked her for our next vacation.

Kristin took my booking at the last minute and made time to come meet us before hand. She also went out of her way to pick up and drop off our dog which is NOT something she typically offers. It was a huge relief to find help for a very senior dog at the last minute.
