Highlights
Pet care experience
It’s Dogcation Time!
I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both small and large dogs, including breeds such as Yorkshire Terriers, Labrador Retrievers, Goldendoodles, and more. I’ve also owned several indoor-only cats over the years, giving me a solid understanding of feline care and behavior. I know that every pet has a unique personality, and I strive to provide the same love, patience, and attention they receive at home so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

Ratings and reviews
Kristine is a wonderful person and very kind to my dog. I am very happy I found her. He loves her.She has watched him three times and ever time has been great!
Christine was amazing! So attentive to my two fur babies who have never had a dog sitter before. She sent so many adorable updates and made sure they were entertained and loved throughout their entire stay. Poppy absolutely loves the toy she got to bring home with her. Would 100% recommend to anyone that works from home and has fur babies that require a little extra TLC.
Kristine was amazing with our boy! We feel so at peace when we are traveling and know he’s in good hands. He always has so much fun when he boards with her. Thank you for everything!!
Kristine took great care of JoJo. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing she was in great hands! Will definitely be rebooking for our next trip!
Kristine did an outstanding job with Sage! She was incredibly thorough and made it a priority to keep us updated throughout his stay. I would absolutely recommend her to others.
My dog Emma always feels right at home and so happy with Kristen. We’ve never had any complaints, she’s the only one we trust with our pup

Schedule
I work from home Monday through Friday about 95% of the time, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. Unless I’m traveling for work or on holiday, I’m available for pet care, including during most major holidays. I have a home with a large, securely fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore. My beloved Thumper, a 14-year-old Jack Russell Terrier/Dachshund mix, crossed the rainbow bridge on April 24, 2026. While I no longer have pets of my own, caring for other people’s dogs and cats has become a meaningful way for me to continue sharing the love and companionship that animals bring. Whether your pet enjoys playtime or simply relaxing nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Dogs in my care enjoy daily morning and evening neighborhood walks, and they’re welcome to cuddle on the furniture and even the bed if that’s what they’re accustomed to at home. When house sitting, I treat your non-smoking/non-vaping home with the same respect and care as I would my own. In addition to providing attentive, loving care for your pets, I’m happy to perform light housekeeping, water indoor and outdoor plants, bring in mail or packages, and take care of other small household tasks we’ve agreed upon. My goal is to keep your pets happy, maintain their normal routine, and give you peace of mind while you’re away.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When your pet stays with me, they’ll enjoy a clean, comfortable home with plenty of cozy dog beds, a large, securely fenced backyard for zoomies and playtime, and a toy box filled with fun toys. As a special welcome, every first-time boarding guest gets to take home a toy as a souvenir from their Dogcation! I believe pet parents deserve peace of mind while they’re away, so I provide daily photo and video updates, along with a personalized report card summarizing your pet’s stay, activities, eating habits, and overall experience. Because I work from home most of the week, I can offer plenty of one-on-one attention and companionship tailored to your pet’s individual needs. Whether they love to play, cuddle, or simply relax nearby, they’ll receive lots of love and personalized care. I’m highly organized, reliable, and flexible whenever possible with drop-off and pick-up times, including accommodating last-minute schedule changes. My goal is to make your pet’s stay as fun, safe, and stress free as possible for both you and your furry family member(s).
A typical day
Every stay is designed to be a fun-filled Dogcation! Your pup will enjoy games of fetch with toys from the toy box, plenty of playtime in my large, securely fenced backyard, and—weather permitting—a refreshing romp in the doggy splash pad during the warmer months. Each day includes morning and evening neighborhood walks to provide exercise, fresh air, and opportunities to explore. Of course, every pet receives lots of love, belly rubs, cuddles, and personalized one-on-one attention. I’ll also capture plenty of adorable photos and videos throughout their stay, so you can see all the fun they’re having while you’re away!
