Hi!
I started caring for my friends and family's dogs so I could get in some extra cuddles and walks after my dog, Zoey, passed away at 15 years old. Thanks to word of mouth from my relatives and friends, we’ve been hosting dogs ever since and often have months of being fully booked!
With my background as a former science teacher, a mom to two upper elementary-age children, and working remotely full-time, I ensure your pet receives attentive and nurturing care since I'm seldom away for long periods. I strive to make your dog's stay as enjoyable and comfortable as their own home.
All the best,
Krista
