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!
Reviews
We have used Rover for several years, and Kristen is above and beyond the best we have had. She sent pictures and updates frequently, and treated our dog like one of her own. Kristen took us last minute due to an unexpected change of plans. Kristen’s home is gorgeous and she has everything a dog could want to keep them entertained and happy during their time with her. Kristen attended to all of our dogs needs with love and care. We thank her very much for the peace of mind she gave us during our trip. We hope to be able to use Kristen again soon!
Kristin instantly gave us peace of mind when we had to find someone last minute to watch our dog. She and her dog, Kaia, were so sweet and just what Luna needed! We received several photos throughout her stay and in every photo Luna was clearly having an amazing time! She didn’t want to get in the car to leave when we came to pick her up. We would absolutely seek out Kristin in the future and highly recommend her!
I’ve known Kristin for a few years and would highly recommend her for all your dog needs! Along with putting quality time and effort into her own dog’s exercise and mental stimulation, she also has a background in canine nutrition. I’ve frequently gone to Kristin for advice regarding my spaniel, whom I love more than my unborn child, so that’s saying a lot!
I’m so thankful to have met Kristin and her fur baby. Kristin was so welcoming, kind and loving toward Mooch, and it was an immediate sense of relief to know he would get the same love and attention he gets at home. Thank you for a wonderful day!!

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.
Home
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.

Availability
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.
