Passionate for dogs of all kinds!

Pet care experience

I truly have a passion for dogs and their care. My family and I have always owned and cared for friends and co-workers dogs and other pets, and even some with challenges. Many years of experience caring for puppies to senior dogs and also worked in the pet industry, including as a consultant. I am certified in Pet CPR and First Aid and have studied pet nutrition as well as invested a lot of time and money in dog training. I look forward to working with you and meeting your dogs!

Kristen was absolutely amazing!! She’s very experienced with dogs, has a lovely fenced in spot, kept them active and happy. Excellent communication and sent photo and text updates of the pups. Both my dogs didn’t want to leave, they had so much fun. 5 stars!

Kristin gave our border collie an amazing couple of days. Tons of outdoor time, tons of activity, great company with other dogs and lots of pictures/videos shared during the stay. Kristin clearly loves dogs and she made me feel comfortable every step of the way.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a long driveway, away from a low traffic road, a fenced in area with a doghouse and plenty of shade, a large gated outdoor deck, indoor bedding and crating when requested. Our dogs have always been indoor crate trained initially, though our current 2-year-old female yellow lab is well behaved and trusted in the house and using the crate any longer. I have an intake form for clients- to ensure I have all requests noted for reference. Thank you for the opportunity to share my love with your fur babes.

Information Kristin S. would like to know about your pet

Important for me to know if your dog has any behavioral needs, diet restrictions, challenges or special needs prior to their care so I can plan accordingly. Let me know what you're looking for- imagine I can accommodate. Need to know your preferences for any type of travel. Crate, seatbelt with harness, back seat bed/blanket, etc. Thank you.

A typical day

I have plenty of free time, and use it on walks, hikes, training, play, cuddles and love, mental stimulation and agility. Indoors and/or outdoors, feeding, snacks, naps, hide and seek. We are minutes from trails as well- adventure awaits.

Pet Care is my priority, and my schedule is open. I am hoping to grow this business from my home as I know that not all people want to board their dogs in large franchise style facilities and might prefer personalized attention, care and love.
