Availability
I’m available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends! Since I work from home full-time (and proudly embrace my homebody lifestyle 😊), your pup will have lots of companionship, supervision, potty breaks, and attention throughout the day. Weekends are cozy and relaxed around here too, so your dog will rarely be left alone and will always have someone nearby for cuddles, playtime, or walks!

My neighborhood is perfect for dog walks, with plenty of sidewalks for safe and enjoyable strolls! Inside the house, your pup will be treated like family and is welcome to roam freely and get comfortable wherever they’d like. Whether your dog prefers sleeping cozily in their crate or stretching out outside of it, I’m happy to follow their usual routine. I know every dog is unique, so if you have any special requests, preferences, or care instructions, I’ll do my very best to make your pup feel right at home!

Information Kristy S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about any special routines, preferences, or care instructions that will help your dog feel happy and comfortable during their stay. I’m happy to assist with medications, senior dog needs, puppy routines, or any extra TLC your pup may require. My goal is to make both you and your dog feel completely at ease — I’m here to help and will care for your dog as if they were my own!
A typical day
Your pup will enjoy plenty of potty breaks every 2–3 hours, along with meals served on the schedule you prefer to help them feel right at home. We’ll enjoy neighborhood walks with lots of time to sniff, explore, and take in all the exciting smells along the way — because every good walk should include a little adventure! You’ll receive daily photo updates so you can see all the fun, cuddles, and adventures your pup is enjoying while you’re away! Weekday car rides are also available for pups who enjoy cruising around town with the windows cracked and ears flapping in the breeze. Feel free to pack your dog’s favorite toys, blankets, and treats so they can settle in comfortably and have their own little vacation while you’re away!

I love all the dogs!
Pet care experience
Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud former dog mom to a sweet Corgi who lived an amazing 18 years — so I truly understand how important it is to find someone who will care for your pup like family. Now that my own furry best friend has crossed the rainbow bridge, I’d love to give that same love and attention to your dog! My home is full of warmth, fun, and lots of affection, shared with my husband and our two dog-loving children (ages 8 and 10). I work from home, which means your pup will get plenty of potty breaks every 2-3 hours, attention, cuddles, and meals served on the schedule you prefer. We’ll enjoy neighborhood walks with lots of time to sniff, explore, and take in all the exciting smells along the way — because every good walk should include a little adventure! During the school year, weekday car rides are also available for pups when I pick up my children from school. Feel free to pack your dog’s favorite toys, blankets, and treats so they can settle in comfortably and have their own little vacation while you’re away! You’ll receive daily photo updates so you can see all the fun, cuddles, and adventures your pup is enjoying. I stay within the dogs I’m most comfortable and confident handling to provide safe, attentive care. Please share details about your dog’s size, temperament, energy level, and leash behavior when booking. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, energetic young dogs, adult dogs, and senior pups needing a little extra TLC. If your dog has mobility issues, I’m happy to carry them up and down the stairs when needed. To make sure every dog gets personalized care and a calm environment, I only host dogs from one family at a time. Your pup will be treated like part of our family from the moment they arrive. Thank you for considering me — I can’t wait to meet your furry family member!
Reviews
Kristy was wonderful and my pup had a great time! Great communication and she was super flexible with pick up and drop off when I accidentally booked the wrong day. Would book again!
I was very disappointed with my experience. Shortly after I dropped off my dog, the sitter sent me multiple long messages describing his anxiety after being separated from me, which is understandable in a new environment. She acknowledged that he was stressed but also stated that she was comfortable continuing his care. Despite this, she later reported my dog to Rover as being unsafe around her children due to alleged nipping. My dog has never shown aggression in my care, and I believe his behavior was the result of temporary separation anxiety in an unfamiliar environment rather than aggression. Just one week before this stay, we used a new groomer for the very first time. Because the groomer was running behind schedule, my dog remained there for several hours in an unfamiliar environment. Grooming is typically much more stressful for dogs due to the loud clippers, close handling, and unfamiliar people. When we picked him up, the groomer praised him for being calm, quiet, and cooperative throughout the visit, even under those stressful circumstances, and invited us to bring him back. At no point did the groomer, who works with dogs professionally every day and had never met my dog before, report any signs of aggression. I wish the sitter had more experience handling dogs with separation anxiety and had allowed him more time to adjust before escalating the situation to Rover. If your dog is prone to anxiety in new environments, I recommend discussing the sitter's experience with anxious dogs before booking.
Kristy was very communicative and sent pictures daily.
Kristy and her family spoiled my dog completely! Excellent communication and daily updates with pictures and a few videos.My dog is pretty high-maintenance and was probably not the easiest dog to handle and she was great with him.
