One of us is an online professor and works from home entirely. That means, there will ALWAYS be someone home with your dog :) ✅ As educators, my wife and I have very flexible schedules. We are available for luxury dog boarding on weekends, holidays, summer vacations, and have availability all year round. ✅Booking time span: Our average client goes away 1-2 weeks at a time.

We were very happy with Kristopher and Kathleen. The dogs were well taken care of and they even came back clean which was so nice after coming back from vacation.

Kristopher and Kathleen were absolutely amazing with my dog, Petey! From start to finish, everything was seamless and stress-free. Communication was excellent, I I received updates and the sweetest photo which let me know Petey was happy and well cared for. Kristopher and Kathleen took the time to understand Petey’s routine and personality, making sure he felt comfortable and loved. When I came home, Petey was relaxed, happy, and clearly had been well taken care of. It’s such a relief to find someone so dependable, trustworthy, and genuinely caring. I will definitely be booking again and highly recommend Kristopher and Kathleen to anyone looking for outstanding pet care!

I can't recommend Kristopher/Kathleen enough! They were incredibly reliable, communicative, and went above and beyond to make sure my dog felt safe, happy, and loved while I was away. My pup came back relaxed, well-exercised, and clearly well cared for. It’s such a relief to know I’ve found someone I can fully trust with my fur baby. I’ll absolutely be booking with again!

We had such a great experience leaving our dog Paru with Kristopher & Kathleen S. for the week! They were incredibly accommodating and even adjusted the schedule to fit our needs. Since this was Paru’s first time away from us and she's a timid dog, we were a bit anxious, but they took such wonderful care of her and made her feel completely at home. We really appreciated the thoughtful updates and sweet photo, which gave us so much peace of mind. They even gave her a bath and cleaned her eyes and she came back smelling great and looking happy and relaxed! It was clear she was truly loved and cared for. We're so grateful and would absolutely reach out to them again. Highly recommend!
