About: I have been a dog mommy for over 25 years, and have taken care of the pets of friends and family forever. I’m especially partial to dogs, but cats are great too…once they deign to allow me to enter their kingdom 😁. I recently had to say goodbye to me soul mate dog, so I have a lot of love to give your fur babies. Can’t wait to meet them! I’m worked from home for 6 years, and I’m currently between roles. I have nothing but time to dedicate to loving on your darling pets. I am active for those who like to walk, and I enjoy my down time cuddles up on the couch with a book and a sweet sleepy dog or cat. Let’s keep your babies at home where they are comfortable! I can come to your home and feed, walk, and give them outside time. Or, if you prefer, I can stay at your home with them while you’re gone. I’m a rule follower, so your house rules will be strictly adhered to, no question! If your pup is high energy and needs lots of walks, let’s go - I’m on a fitness journey myself! If they are in charge and have a designated spot on the couch, I’ll cozy up wherever they “tell” me I can. I just miss my doggo, and I think this is the best way for me to start to heal from that loss. Let me lavish love on yours!

Kyleen is the best! We only ever pick her to watch our Sadie girl because of her attention to detail, snuggles, kindness, and her going above and beyond. You can depend on Kyleen!

Krisandra was great!! She was very professional when coordinating the details of the booking, went out of her way to visit prior to the long weekend to make sure the dogs felt comfortable with her, and sent us plenty of updates and pictures. She made us feel comfortable while we were away we can’t sit to have her sit for the girls again!
