Loving dogs and cats for 30+ years!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Kristy and my husband Chris may be helping me care for the animals so they might get double the attention! We have elderly and diabetic dog and cat experience. We have experience administering injected, oral and other types of medication. I'm dog and cat CPR Certified. We have spent time with dogs, puppies, cats, chickens, amphibians, birds, caged pets and aquatic animals. Teach us what you do on a daily basis and we can do our best to replicate. We are currently the proud parents of two beautiful & silly cats and we both have been around animals (dogs/cats/aquatic and caged pets) our entire lives. We are trustworthy, reliable and caring. We will give your pet loads of attention and love. We can keep up with even the most energetic dogs and cats. We can also be calm and loving when they need rest. We can send as many photo or video updates as you would like to put your mind at ease. We will take the absolute best care of your awesome pets while you are away. We can travel to your home and will respect you, your pets and your belongings. We look forward to meeting you and your best friend!

Kristy & Chris B. were great with our dogs. We couldn't have had a better experience for our first time with this. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Information Kristy & Chris B. would like to know about your pet

We do not have any breed preferences. We require a meet and greet with your animal present before booking a stay (via Zoom or in person). You can ask us anything that I did not cover about ourselves and our experience before booking with us. When you send a message, it will be me (Kristy) who is responding to you. Some questions I might ask at the meet and greet: What do they like to do for exercise? How often do they need to go outside? Food schedule, location and amount? Any other routines to follow? Medications? Allergies? What are some important house rules? (dogs on furniture, rules before treats, etc.). Any aggression issues? Are they okay meeting other dogs/people on walks? Are they anxious when being left alone? How long can they be left alone? Are they up to date on vaccinations? Are they on flea and tick medication? Are you in the process of training? Any quirks we should know about?

A typical day

If they like car rides we can accommodate. We both have all-wheel drive vehicles, so we can get around in almost all weather conditions. We can also take them to appointments or other activities you planned already. Also, we can lounge on the couch or have some playtime! We will treat your best friend like part of our family. We will give them loads of love, care, and attention.
