About: Hi there! I’m a 26-year-old animal lover living with my partner, and one lovable senior pup. Fred, our senior dog, is the gentlest soul you’ll ever meet. All fur babies boarding in my home are friendly and used to being around other animals. However, most remain separated until acclimated for safety reasons. (Please request solo boarding at time of reservation if you’d prefer your fur baby not to be with other animals) We have a cozy, pet-friendly home with plenty of space for your furry friend to feel safe and loved. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust when you're away, so I’m here to provide a calm, caring environment for your pet while you're gone. Whether it’s snuggles on the couch or outdoor playtime, I’m happy to match your pet’s needs and routines. Looking forward to meeting you and your fur baby I work from 9am to 2pm, so I handle all walks, playtime, and feeding for my pets from 7-9am before I head out. When I get home around 2:30pm, I do another round of walks, playtime, and feeding. At 12 I come home for lunch and do snack time. Feeding schedules can be adjusted to fit your fur babies needs please discuss any special requests with me. I’m available for boarding on weekdays after 2:30pm and weekends after 10am, making it easy to care for your pets while accommodating my schedule. Whether it’s for a play session, walks, or just some cozy cuddle time, your pet will feel right at home with my flexible routine. I offer pet care in my home, ensuring your pet feels safe, loved, and well-cared for. Your pet will enjoy a structured routine with feeding, playtime, and walks, all while being surrounded by my friendly fur family—Fitzgerald, Westley, and Fred. I’m experienced in providing special care, like administering medication or post-surgery recovery. I’m also flexible and can adjust to fit your pet's specific routine and needs. Before boarding, we’ll have a conversation to understand your pet's wants and requirements, ensuring they have the best possible stay with us.

About: I had a maltipoo who I cared for for 13 years so I am confident in caring for pups like her. I’ve also had to dog-sit some friends’ dogs who’d I bring for walks, play in the yard, and fill food and water bowls for them while gone!

About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes. I've taken care of dogs since I was 8, and I used to work at a doggy daycare.

About: I've loved animals my whole life and have been around cats in one way or another for most of my life. I grew up with multiple cats and I've been taking care of my cat Cole since adopting her in 2018 as a kitten. I've been volunteering at a cat shelter for several years as a socializer and love visiting as many cats as I can when I'm there (I always stay longer than my shift). I love them dearly, always want what's best for them, and would treat your cat with the same care concern I'd treat for my own. I'd be happy to provide drop-in visits for feedings/etc or to provide your cat with some play/social time! I love meeting new cats and taking in their unique quirks! While I've had a lot more exposure to felines, I'd also happily walk/spend time with your dog. I've had a lot of good experiences with them as well - me and my landlady's dog are good pals! I'm between jobs at the moment, so I am fairly flexible in terms of availability with some notice. Sunday is my day for volunteering, though I can potentially swap my shift in an urgent situation. I'm happy to arrange for shorter/longer visits on single/recurring basis. Can assist with feedings, playtime or just hang out and provide them a loving lap! Also happy to provide photo/video updates of your fur babies to help put your mind(s) at ease!

Kristine M.
“I honestly don’t want to share Kristine’s services with anyone because she is too good to my 3 animals. However sharing is caring so let me tell you - there is no one who will love your animals the way you do-EXCEPT Kristine !!!! My animals love her and are calm and happy while we are away for the weekend/week, or just the evening. Kristine has been helping us for over a year and I have never been happier knowing my animals are in the best care. They are always excited to see her and are perfectly happy and content when we return. I have a rescue with separation anxiety who also has dietary restrictions- Oliver who looks more like a bear than a dog. Then I have a pug who needs all the attention and love -Puck is his name; and my tiny tiger scaredy rescue cat Klause. Our animals are undoubtedly high maintenance and it’s amazes me that Klause is out and about showing love even though he typically doesn’t show a whisker when strangers are in the house- the only exception is Kristine; who gives so much love that he greets her and lets her pet and pick him up. that’s huge for my scaredy cat. Honestly your animals would be lucky to have her watching them/ walking them/or just visiting them.”
