Dunes staycation for your pooch

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Tristen. I recently moved back to my hometown in Northwest Indiana from Chicago where I lived for 10+ years with my dog, Molly. I bought a house in the Dunes for Mols and I to enjoy as she was getting old and condo living became challenging. Unfortunately Molly was only able to enjoy the new house for 2 weeks before passing away but boy did she enjoy it! :-) My house is now pretty quiet and while I am not ready for my next companion, I would love to open my home to your pets! There are many trails close by for the doggies to enjoy as well as comfy dog beds around the house and toys to play with. I can assure you your pet will feel very much at home here while also getting to explore all the great smells the Dunes has to offer. I hope I can host your furry friend and give you some peace of mind knowing that they are in great hands and cared for deeply while you are away. :-) My schedule and I are flexible but of course, things do come up so I will have to let you know if I am available for the dates you request or not. I am happy to provide these services when I am available. I do not have a fenced yard and my neighborhood is very dog friendly so your dog must be leash trained and spayed/neutered for everyones safety during their stay.

Maisie had a great time! She was pulling on her leash toward Tristen's door the second day I dropped her off! That's how you know your dog had a good time ?

Tristen went out of her way to ensure our dogs were well cared for and managed them well when one decided to not be nice to the other one. Communicated well and gave them alot of attention. Highly recommend!!!

Tristen was great with Sierra, even letting her keep a tennis ball. She was very responsive to text messages. I was sort of hoping she might send a photo during the full day she watched Sierra, and I’m sure she would have if I had asked. So that was not an expectation, but it would have been the icing on the cake. All in all, I would definitely recommend Tristen. She asked really good questions. You can tell she loves dogs & is responsible!

We had a wonderful experience with Tristen. She’s friendly and accommodating. I get really anxious about being away from my dog but I felt comfortable leaving my dog with her. I really appreciated the pictures and updates. It was nice to enjoy a couple days out of town without having to worry about my dog. I would highly recommend her!

Information Tristen K. would like to know about your pet

I grew up with Saint Bernards so I have no size restrictions however, your dog must be spayed/neutered. I would like to know that your dogs' shots are up to date and they take a flea/tick preventative (I live in the woods with many ticks). What is the temperament of your pet as well as any quirks they may have? How reactive are they toward other dogs (specifically when walking)? Also, how can I spoil them?

A typical day

There are many trails close by that your furry friend will enjoy exploring. I especially love taking the dogs for car rides to get treats! Otherwise we will be relaxing together probably watching 'Too Cute' on Animal Planet.
