Home Away From Home... Pup Retreat

Pet care experience

Are you searching for a place where your dog will be loved, pampered, and above all, feel safe? Are you perhaps a bit nervous about leaving your pup and would like daily pictures and updates? Search no more because my home is exactly what you are looking for. My Motto - Pups are family and that’s why we treat them as such. My home is super dog friendly. Whether your dog likes to play with other pups, or they just want a quiet space to chill, we can accommodate. I am a stay-at-home dog mom without children. As such, I can accommodate a wide range of pup personalities and temperaments. :) Greetings, my name is Kristin and I am a Dog mom who loves all animals. So much so, I am an animal rescue volunteer and have welcomed hundreds of foster dogs into my home over the past twelve years. In addition, I have my Red Cross Certification in Dog & Cat First Aid. In the event of an emergency, I am prepared to handle breathing and cardiac emergencies (CPR), wounds/bleeding, seizures, as well as overall preventative care and well-being. You can rest assured that your pet is in the best of hands.

If there were more than 5 stars, I would have rated Kristin even higher. I've had dogs for 25+ years and lots of different dog sitters. My dogs and I have been blessed always to have great sitters, including others from Rover. Even with all that, I'd rank Kristin as #1. She is warm, kind, welcoming and like a dog whisperer! This was my first time using her services while in NJ for a business trip. Allie (Scottie) had a blast and Kristin's excellent communication helped me feel much more comfortable re: leaving Allie with a stranger for the first time. I can't sing Kristin's praises highly enough (and I promise she did not pay me to write this :-). If Allie could write, I think her ratings would probably be even higher. Thank you Kristin and Allie's various playmates. We appreciate you. A lot!

Kristen is Exceptional!!! Our babies had a wonderful time and were extremely well-cared for!!! Kristen went above and beyond sending photos and even had an Easter Photo Shoot with them. All I had to do was bring them and their food and Kristen provided everything ekse. Her home is very clean and dog friendly. I would highly recommend her services!

Sammie's first day ever of daycare was a success! Kristin kept in touch with texts and photos and gave an overall update when we picked him up. I will definitely use Kristin again in the future!
