We love pets!

Pet care experience

I have had pets all my life, including lizards, birds, cats and dogs! We currently have 1 cat that gets along with respectful dogs. We also have 2 bearded dragons and some fish! Our elderly diabetic dog recently passed away. I am knowledgeable and comfortable providing diabetic care and giving insulin shots. Please note: We can ONLY watch large or dominant dogs that are KNOWN to be cat friendly. If you are unsure about cat friendliness, please let me know so we can discuss your dogs personality to determine if we'll be a good fit.

Kristine did a fantastic job taking care of my cat for a week. She sent pictures and updates every day. Thank you!

Our dog had an amazing stay with them. From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear that he was going to be loved and cared for just like at home. The entire family is so welcoming and attentive to our dog's needs, making sure he felt comfortable and happy during his stay. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing he was in good hands.

Ace is a timid companion who requires time to become familiar with new people, and Kristine respected that by giving him the space he needed to adjust. Now, he's grown much more at ease around her. We appreciate taking Ace to Kristine's place because she's not only patient but also great at communicating. The videos she sends us help us feel connected to Ace, which we love.

Kristine was excellent! Very communicative. She updated me every day and I could tell that my dog Cooper was having a great time. Would definitely use her services again.
