We Love Adventures

Pet care experience

We love dogs, and their comfort is important. I have large crates if needed/requested, and I am familiar with dogs with special needs. 24/7 care is possible if requested as well. I have three dogs that are extremely friendly, but, if your dog likes to be an only child, I have the ability to keep your dog separate, comfortable and at peace. I own my own home, animals are allowed on furniture, and are able to go in and out of my house at anytime. I will also text you daily with photo updates of our adventures!. My house sits on 1/2 an acre and is fully fenced with 6 ft vinyl fencing. For Boarding - Please message me times that are needed and we can discuss. I am generally flexible but if not, I will respond with times that I am available for drop off. Late pickups/drop offs incur a $15/half-hour fee with a 15 minute grace period. Sitter Pick Up/Drop off is $30 round trip up to 10 miles. After 10 miles, it is a $1/mile plus $20 flat rate. Any trips to the pet food store (if your pet runs out of food), trips to the vet for vaccinations or pre-existing conditions, or other errands for your pet are billed at $35/hour + $1/per mile. Even if I am marked BOOKED on the calendar, please don't hesitate to contact me. Dogs that are incontinent or mark will also be charged at the puppy rate of $40 per night. I do accept animals that have continence problems however when inside, they will be put in a diaper to ensure the integrity and cleanliness of my home. This must be communicated during the inquiry process. If it is not, a $150 fee will be charged per day until the animal is picked up by you, your emergency contact or another sitter arranged through rover. All dogs must also be up-to-date on all vaccinations (Rabies, DHLPP, and Bordatella), and have proof of flea preventative. I DO NOT accept dogs with excessive barking issues, severe separation anxiety, strong dominance issues, or even the slightest bit of aggression towards humans or other dogs. YOU MUST DISCLOSE IF YOUR DOG(S) HAVE ANY OF THESE ISSUES. IF YOUR DOG EXHIBITS ANY OF THESE BEHAVIORS, I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO IMMEDIATELY TERMINATE THE STAY.

Leo enjoyed his stay. Kristina was willing to extend his stay an additional night due to travel complications on our part.

Amazing! If I could give her 10/5 stars, I would. I was nervous about boarding my newly adopted pup, but as soon as I dropped him off, he immediately started playing with the other dogs. Kristina updated me everyday to let me know everything was going well, and I’m extremely thankful for that. I won’t take my dog anywhere else now! HIGHLY recommend!!

Information Kristina W. would like to know about your pet

I love any breed or size of dog. The types of things I need to know are bits of information such as: is your dog kennel trained? Does your dog have excessive barking issues? Does your dog have separation anxiety? Does your dog get carsick? Does your dog have leash aggression? Does your dog have incontinence/marking issues? Does your dog jump fences? Does your dog door dart? Does your dog try to dig out? Does your dog have any allergies? Does your dog have any fears? Does your dog protect it's food or toys? Does your dog get along with all other dogs big and small? Does your dog have a prey drive? Is your dog dominant or submissive? Does your dog pull strongly on the leash? Does your dog come when called? Can your dog go to the offleash park? Does your dog know basic commands? Has your dog had any sort of obedience training? These are all important questions to inform any dogsitter of, to ensure the best possible stay for your pup.

A typical day

Ball, lake days, outdoor toys, trail walks and tons of playtime. If I have to leave my home for school or errands, my husband or father-in-law (who lives with us) are home.
