Fun family with fenced-in yard and older kids

Pet care experience

Our family loves dogs and we like making new doggy friends. We have two dogs of our own who have never met a dog they didn't like. They enjoy playing with other dogs and completely wear themselves out when they meet a new friend. We only sit for one family's dog(s) at a time (whether that be one or two dogs) so you never have to worry about other dogs in the house. I like to make home-made dog treats with natural ingredients and no preservatives, coloring or other additives. You should see the dogs hanging out in front of the oven while they are baking :-) I am willing to prepare raw diets (using your food), give medications and accomodate your dog as needed. We have a fenced-in yard, a wonderful dog-friendly neighborhood for walking, and older children who know how to treat dogs with respect. Please stop by to meet us!

Kristin took great care of Pyro. I couldn't have asked for anyone better. :)

Kristin and her family were wonderful sitters to our pup Pablo. He absolutely loved playing with their pups! Kristin and her family gave Pablo so much TLC I was afraid he would be spoiled! Kristin gave me a daily update on how Pablo was doing, provided pictures, and even asked if they could give him a chew toy to play with! Can't get much sweeter than that! Thank you Kristin and family for all the care and love you showed Pablo!

Kristin came to the rescue on very short notice after our planned sitter was unavailable due to an emergency. She is so sweet and absolutely loves animals. Buc had a great stay with her family and his new furry friends. She also helped us by being flexible with his stay and picking him up the morning we were leaving. We booked another stay with Kristin upon pick up. Buc is looking forward to his next stay. I know he'll be in great hands. Thanks, Kristin and Family!

Information Kristin N. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know how your dog likes to be approached. Our dogs are very spirited and friendly and I would like to know if we need to keep them separate at first so we don't overwhelm your dog. Other than that please tell me what is most important to you - does your dog expect to eat at certain times each day? Does he like to sleep on the bed? How much exercise is he used to getting on a daily basis?

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks We have a beautiful, dog-friendly neighborhood. Many people are out walking their dogs through out the day and we always run into friends when we go out. We are in a quiet subdivision with minimal traffic and lots of cul-de-sacs and other features that discourage through traffic. Your dog's sleeping arrangement We have a large dog bed and a small dog bed that we keep in the master bedroom. You are also welcome to bring your own dog's bed. Our dogs never use their dog beds because they sleep on the bed with us. If yours can find a spot, s/he's welcome to also! Just let us know what you think would be best and we'll set things up that way. Time I'll spend with your dog I work from home and my husband often does too so there are always people around. Our dogs prefer to be with their people so we are used to dogs hanging out by our side. We will take a walk once a day, but in general we are always with them.
