Availability

We both work from home, full time. Our own dogs get two long walks, one in the morning and one in the evening (about 1.5 miles, on average). We are usually up by 5:30 to workout. The dogs usually sleep in the kitchen, on their beds, but we also have couches and human beds available. We can let them out as often as needed, and usually take a break during lunch to throw a ball with them in our backyard. Weekends we are even more flexible. If your dog likes to run, we go for runs 3-5 times a week.

Safety, trust & environment

It’s important to us that our dogs (and yours) are stimulated. This means playing with them often, frequent walks, and spending as much quality time as we can. Often we just sit with the dogs in the living room and read when we are tired. To keep the dogs safe, we keep our house clean, and the proper doors closed. We know our own pets have a habit of wanting to eat anything and everything, meaning we must take exceptional care to keep our place tidy.

Information Krysta A. would like to know about your pet

We generally ask people to let us know: 1) if your dog has any general quirks or allergies 2) what your dog’s routine is so we can be as consistent as possible 3) how are they with other dogs (we have 2 of our own - a gentle senior and a playful puppy) and 4) if they are they up to date on vaccines

A typical day

When we relax, we all lay on the couch together (we have dog beds as well if the dogs prefer that!) dog and watch a movie or read. We also love to be active with the dogs ajd will go run around in the backyard or neighborhood. If the dogs enjoy playing fetch, we have lots of balls and love playing fetch!

Pet care experience

We are an active household who work from home and will give your pets a personalized experience. We have two dogs of our own - a young puppy who loves to play and a gentle senior. We will treat your dogs like our own. As two young professionals, we keep on schedule, creating a seamless transition from your home to ours, which means your dog gets what they need when they need it, whether that be medicine, walks, or love and attention.

Krysta was communicative and extremely responsive before, during, and after planning and check ins with our big dog. She shared photos and updates, which gave us such peace of mind while away. Our pup was happy and relaxed with her! We lost connection while away and though we got it resolved, she even offered to come back and check things out. We really appreciated her services and resolve to make sure Meeko was taken care of.

We are so grateful that Krysta was able to watch our baby boy while we traveled out of the country. She was great about sending photos every day so we could see how well Archie was doing and how much fun he was having. Archie settled in quickly and seems to have so much fun with his new friends.
