One Dog at a Time, Large Back Yard.

Hello. I have 12 years of experience dog sitting, walking and boarding various dogs, young and old, big and small. I also have experience as a Veterinary Assistant. I live in a home in Colonie that has a beautiful fenced in backyard that's about 3/4 of an acre (please see the pictures). I have one dog and two cats of my own. My 6-year-old Valley Bulldog is therapy trained, and so I have experience in training as well. Our bulldog LOVES people and most dogs. However, high energy males and very large dogs have become too much for him. He does better with female dogs. I am currently available for doggy daycare and boarding. I only care for one dog at a time. My husband Robert has also been certified as a Rover sitter and has passed the background check. Your dog will be well supervised and given ample playtime, potty time and downtime. I love animals and I take my job very seriously. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I hope to meet you and your dog very soon. - Kristine

This was my first time using Rover, and I really lucked out! Kristine and Bob were, in a word, awesome!! They were very gracious, have a very nice home, and my golden retriever took to them (and their own dog) immediately!! Kristine sent me lots of pictures of my dog while I was away, and gave me updates on how he was doing! My "buddy" had a great time and was SO well cared for!! I plan on using them next time I need boarding for him: I would highly recommend them!!

Kristine was wonderful! Very responsive ahead of time and sent a bunch of photos during Millie’s visit. Would definitely book with her again without hesitation.

A typical day

Lots of outside time, weather permitting. We love to play ball and frisbee in the back yard, tug of war with ropes and run around. When we are all tired out, we love to chill on the couch.
