“Kristin is amazing. She kept me informed of our 3 fur babies throughout the week I was gone. I received daily pictures of what they were doing. I will definitely use her again!!!!”
About: What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like family. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable home environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I’m patient with puppies, attentive to senior pets, and happy to follow individual routines, feeding schedules, medications, and special care instructions. My goal is for every pet to feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while their family is away. I work from home, so pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. Pets get plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. I’m able to keep a consistent routine and give each pet the individual care and attention they need while their owners are away. Pets staying in my home become part of the family! I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles. Since I work from home, I’m able to keep a close eye on pets throughout the day and follow their normal routines, feeding schedules, medications, and special needs. My goal is to make every pet feel relaxed, happy, and at home while their family is away.
“This was my second time using rover and my German Shepherd had a great time. I appreciate all the updates and the level of care Ms. Shaniece provided. Sometimes I get nervous with leaving Zeke because he’s so big, energetic and at times requires a lot of attention, however, could tell once I picked him up he was in good hands.”
About: As a dog mom to two pups, ages 9 and 3, caring for dogs is something that is already part of my everyday routine! I watch my parents' dog daily and occasionally I care for my sister's dog overnight, so I'm very comfortable having extra furry family members around. As a stay-at-home mom who homeschools, I'm home throughout the day to provide companionship, attention, and plenty of love. Our home sits on nearly an acre with a fenced in backyard in our neighborhood, giving pups plenty of room to explore, play, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your dog with someone else. I'll make sure to follow their usual routines, send photo updates, and do my best to make sure this is their home away from home while you're away! Being a stay-at-home mom gives me the flexibility to incorporate pet care naturally into my day. I also homeschool my oldest and my youngest attends half day pre-k. This gives me plenty of opportunities for potty breaks/walking, playtime, attention, and relaxation. I enjoy keeping a comfortable, predictable routine while also adjusting to each dog's individual needs. Whether your pup is full of energy or prefers a slower pace, I'll make sure they get the care and companionship they are used to. I want every dog who stay with us to feel like part of the family, and to feel at home. I know every pup has their own personality, preferences, and routine, so I will do my best to make their stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I'll make sure to follow each owner's instructions for feeding, sleeping, and daily care. Our home is located in a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood where we can enjoy leisurely walks in addition to time playing and exploring in our fenced backyard. I'm happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand if that gives you extra peace of mind, but I also understand that last-minute plan happens! I enjoy sharing photos and updates throughout your pup's stay so you can relax knowing they're in good hands.
“Dylan and his wife were very accommodating. After returning from my trip, I was held up at the airport which pushed my pickup time back a couple of hours. They were so sweet to not make an issue of it and had my pups ready to go once I arrived. Dylan communicates wonderfully (better than I do, lol). I'm very appreciative!”
