Safety, trust & environment

I am a very patient and calm person, and my home reflects that. It is of utmost importance to me that your furry loved one feels safe, comfortable and cared for during their stay with me. I do not use a crate with my pup simply because he doesn't like it, so I do not have one in my home. If your pup needs one, just bring it along and I will be happy to set it up for them. Also, rest assured your pup will never be left in my home alone. I have extra dog beds , bowls and toys - bring your pup's favorite if you would like. If you use a favorite treat to encourage and reward your pup, please bring those for them. I do have treats here I use with Jax and he is always willing to share so just let me know what your preferences are (treats or no treats).

Information Kristina H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know in advance if your pup has any special needs ( behaviour, allergies, medical, physical etc.) Between my very responsibile teenaged daughter and I, we can easily manage dogs with different energy levels and personalities. However, we cannot accept any dogs who are very reactive, destructive or aggressive.

A typical day

Lots of playtime in the back yard! Daily walks and snuggle time on the couch. Indoor playtime on rainy days (we still go out for at least one walk even if its raining). My Jax is pretty energetic and likes to play with friends, however he is very intuitive and is great with senior dogs and smaller dogs with less energy and adjusts his energy levels really well. I can easily manage dogs with different energy levels and personalities to provide more play or more rest time, according to your pup's needs.

Pet care experience

Hi there! I have many years of experience caring for pets, and will ensure your furry loved-one feels right at home during their stay with me. I am a proud dog mom of 5 year old Jax (healthy, neutred, updated on all vaccinations) who loves other friendly dogs and would be so happy to have a buddy or two to hang out and play with! We have a small fenced-in yard for playing around with the ball or any game your pup enjoys. We go on walks, at least one during the day, and one in the evening. Our neighborhood is quiet and safe. Please let me know in advance if your pup has any special needs (behaviour, allergies, medical, physical etc.)

Kristina was great! She was super easy to communicate with and quick to respond. She took excellent care of my pup and gave daily updates with pictures which was very much appreciated. I would certainly recommend her and plan on using her services in the future!!

My two pointers were graciously welcomed into Kristina's home. Thoughtful care and daily photos gave me peace of mind that they well looked after.
