Highlights
Pet care experience
24/7 attention and experienced care
In addition to common dog owner knowledge I am also equipped with exceptional K-9 to human communication skills that will help me make nervous, unsettled, shy, or anxious pets adjust to their temporary lodging. I acquired these skills during 10 years of K-9 protection handling and training education and practice along with 15 years of bodywork with a concentration in myofascial release. I can take pets on short notice for as long as necessary. Your dog(s) will not interact with other dogs while in my care, unless previously discussed. The interior of my 2500 sf home has the space and configuration to allow up to 4 dogs to be separated into their own "living" spaces. Having two of may own, I will only take two dogs as a time. I will provide exceptional care and 24/7 attention. Why I love dog sitting My entire life, personal and professional, has been with dogs afoot. I enjoy discovering their individual personalities. Meet my pets I have two Pomeranians. About my yard Fenced, however I prefer to hand walk client's pets. I am a jogger so if your pet is used to jogging each day for exercise we can make that happen. My experience administering medication I am happy to administer any necessary medications and supplements. I have been doing so for as long as I can remember, IV, IM, topical, and oral.

Ratings and reviews
Marley only likes about five people in the world, and Kristine is one of them. If you know him, you know that’s saying a lot. He absolutely adores her, and I always know he’s in the best hands when he’s with her. She’s amazing, and we couldn’t recommend her more! 🐾❤️
Kristine was the absolute best taking care of our large breed dog with medical needs. She was easy to communicate with and provided us with very detailed updates twice a day with photos and videos. The level of care, patience and kindness she provided our dog Buddy with was amazing!
As always absolutely amazing!
Kristine was awesome! Excellent communication from the beginning. She optioned a meet and greet before my dog's stay - i really appreciated that as it gave myself and my dog a chance to meet her and visit her house before dropping him off for a few days. I felt so comfortable with her and her background in dog care, that i extended my trip by a day - with her agreeance. During his stay she kept me informed with a summary, pictures, and videos. Looked like he was comfortable and had a lot of fun with her and her dogs. Very happy to have connected with her!
She is absolutely amazing!
Kristine is AMAZING! She took great care of our sweet girl while we were out of town. She communicated with pictures, videos and updates. Our senior lab was recently adopted and we wanted an easy transition while we were out of town, and Kristine provided a comfortable setting and experience for her. I can't say enough great things about her. Just a wonderful overall experience!

Schedule
I build my schedule around clients needs. Mine eat at 8 AM and 6 pm and get outside for fresh air and a bio bark every 4-5 hours.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In a client's home, I leave absolutely no trace I have ben there. Extreme attention to detail, respect for your environment, and I follow instructions with precision. In my home, I follow the schedule I am given and keep a low and slow approach, giving them space, time, and calm/quiet emotional support to adjust. In both environments you will receive videos, pics, and updates multiple times per day.
Pets
A typical day
Walks around the neighborhood or on a private 50 acre property with walking trails just 2 miles from my doorstep. Your dog's sleeping arrangement I prefer to bring them up to the master bedroom at night. Whether they are crated or roam free is up to the owner. Time I'll spend with your dog I typically arrange to be home all but two hours a day when I have clients in. If your pet needs 24/7 care that is available for an additional fee.
