Availability

I work from home so your dog(s) will rarely be left unattended! Typically the schedule is one walk in the early morning, a midday walk, an afternoon walk, and one in the evening before bed, but more can be provided per your dog's individual needs. Walks are typically a minimum of 15 minutes unless we're just headed out for a quick pee. Weekends may include a longer walk/hikes of an hour or so if that is something your dog may enjoy.

Safety, trust & environment

We don't have a fenced in yard, but we have the next best thing! A very dog friendly, nature oriented community including a fenced in dog park, hiking trails, and located adjacent to a state park. Dogs are allowed anywhere they are comfortable and safe within our home. If they are snuggly, we're happy to snuggle them on our bed through the night. Do they think the couch is theirs? We're happy to share it with them. Or perhaps they prefer a comfy dog bed by a roaring fire or in front of a sliding glass door with a nature view to watch for those pesky squirrels or deer. We have it all! (Please note that due to the heavy dog presence - not always leashed - in our active outdoor neighborhood, it is unfortunately too stressful of an environment for dog reactive pups)

Information Kristina F. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any health or behavioral issues, any mobility challenges and special needs, along with a sense of their daily routine so that we can keep it as consistent as possible for them in a new space.

A typical day

Whether your dog is high energy or a homebody, we're happy to match their mood! For active pups, they can expect to go for nature filled walks and play fetch or whatever variation of fetch your dog likes to play. If they're anything like ours were, we throw the toy and they run off with it! For the homebodies, they can expect comfy cozy spaces and lots of pets and snuggles. If that's not their thing and like their space, that's cool too. We can resist booping the snoots if we must!

Loving and experienced dog owner

Pet care experience

Hi there! We are a quiet household of two adults, just my husband and myself at the moment. We both grew up with dogs and spent the last 15 years owning and loving a pack of 3 medium to large size dogs. We have recent lived experience caring for senior pups and the health challenges they face as they age. We owned rescues and loved them through all of their quirks. After long happy lives, our pack have all passed over the rainbow bridge. Since we're not ready to give our hearts to another dog of our own, it brings us joy offering our now too empty home to care for yours! Please contact me for peace of mind knowing that your dog(s) will be having their own vacation full of pets, play, and walks while you enjoy yours!

Kristina was WONDERFUL!! She was incredibly accommodating and flexible which made everything so easy for us. My dog loved her and was so happy to spend time with Kristina too, so it’s a no brainer to book her!

Our experience with Tina and Jordan was exceptional. They are both true dog lovers and so responsible, kind and caring.​ They really "got" our dog and met all of his needs. We could tell he felt happy, safe and loved. We are thrilled we found them! Thank you!

This was Rae's third stay with Tina and Jordan, and once again they were absolutely wonderful. As repeat clients, we already knew Rae would be in great hands, but they still exceeded our expectations. They sent plenty of photos and videos throughout her stay, which we always appreciate, and it was clear from every update that Rae was happy, comfortable, and treated like part of the family. Seeing how excited she is to be with them gives us so much peace of mind when we're away. Tina and Jordan are kind, communicative, and genuinely care about the dogs they watch. It's not easy leaving your dog behind, but knowing Rae is with people who love and care for her as much as they do makes all the difference. We wouldn't hesitate to book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.

We were so lucky we were able to find Kristina to take care of our dog for a few days! Kristina created the perfect little vacation home for him and it was clear from the start he was in great hands. She engaged with us throughout the stay sharing lots of pictures and videos, and asked for consistent feedback on the care she was giving. We would 100% return!
