Dog walking. Playtime visits. Pet taxi. Pet sitting in your home. All done with love. Privately insured. While on a walk your dog will be my sole focus.
(18)

Hi there, my name is Kristen and I have a slight dog obsession. I am a dog mom to Enzo Marley, an American Staffordshire Terrier and Royal Roo, a Bullmastiff/Staffordshire terrier mix. While I absolutely adore all dogs, my heart lies in caring for the special needs pets, and the “bully” breeds. I will be sure to select a different route (if possible) during each walk to help them get familiar with

their area, but to also help stimulate their brain with the different scents. If you have multiple dogs that need to be walked separately, for any reason, I will rotate my routes so that each dog is exploring a different area instead of where their fur sibling just was. I am happy to go as fast paced, or as leisurely as Fido wants to take our time together. My typical drop-in visit consists of the following: enter and greet your beloved furkid who will be totally excited to see me (hello treats!- only if it's okay with you first), and then take them outside. While outside I am happy to play fetch, or any other activity they're interested in. Once we come back in I check the water/food situation, and will take care of any medical needs that may be required at this time from giving pills to injections. There's time for a snuggle, or a game, and then it's one last break outside before I head out for the morning or afternoon. I send detailed report cards with photos after every visit via the portal I use at Pet Pocketbook. ****If injections are required for your pup's care I offer a free 60 minute meet and greet to go over everything thoroughly. I am happy to repeat a few times before going solo to ensure your comfort and your dog's.****

If I’m doing an overnight stay in your home then I am happy to help out with light housework (unloading the dishwasher, vacuuming up after your beloved furkid you’ve had to leave behind because grandma is allergic), light dusting etc. I will only leave your home to take care of my drop in/walk clients which is currently around 7 hours out of the day. This is broken up in blocks of time so I am able to do unlimited drop-ins during the day for your pup(s). Don’t worry about Fido- I will have him/her so worn out from playing they’ll snooze until I return. From how your pets eat their meals, to sleeping arrangements I try to keep things as normal as possible for them. I also provide as many updates as necessary for your peace of mind while your pet is under my care. These include report cards that are emailed to you with photos, videos, careful charting of food/water consumption, medication details, and a rundown of our time together.

It’s time for the 🧟‍♀️👻 spookiest 🧟‍♀️👻 costume of them all- A WALKING VET BILL!

Several of you know 3 weeks ago Enzo Marley had emergency foreign body surgery. He is currently dealing with a GI bleed that we haven’t been able to get under control, so naturally your pet’s best friend had to turn this into the most terrifying costume any pet parent could dream of.

Happy Howloween, don’t forget the 8 pm costume deadline today for your pets since those photos will go live for voting tomorrow! Each entry is amazing and I cannot wait for you all to see them 🖤

Cooper would like to encourage all the puppers out there to take their hooman for a walkie, or to call their besties Kristen & Suzie for one.

Cricket wanted to pop by to remind everyone we are two weeks out for B & B’s Howl-oween costume contest. Be sure to submit photos of your pet in their costume to be entered to win a visit credit, and a BarkBox for the pet who places first.

Happy Howl-oween!

😍 You’re welcome for brightening up your feed with these two on a gross Monday morning! 😍

☔️ A few of you know Miss Suzie was injured on her vacation, thankfully she is going to be heal fully but that means your pets will not be seeing her for a bit. If you are anticipating a schedule change between now and Thanksgiving please let me know ASAP so that I may plan accordingly to accommodate you to the best of my ability ☺️

🍁 Did you find B & B on Google for the Saint Mary’s/Wapakoneta/Celina area? Stay tuned because something exciting for pets is happening in your area later this week!

10/13/2024

Henlo there!

🐾 Your pets will be enjoying the cooler weather this week with me. If we have spoken about trail hikes for your dog during our time together this week is when you’ll see those starting back up ☺️

🐾 Daily clients- my times will be a little impacted this week for some of you due to Enzo still recovering from emergency foreign body surgery. I will be lumping as many visits back to back as I can. If your pet typically receives multiple visits per day I may do a shorter potty break for one and then an extended visit for the rest to get home in time for his medicine/food.

🐾 Almost overnight/overnights- your visits will continue on as normal, with shorter potty breaks for the afternoon and a longer combined dinner/bedtime visit.

I appreciate your understanding that while your pets are always my top priority sometimes my own babies dictate a slight schedule change.

Enjoy your Sunday!

New friend(s) Friday- meet Tucker & Bailey!

Enzo Marley is finally home after a scary, exhausting and emotional 72 hours that ended with emergency foreign body removal surgery. He is not out of the woods yet, and the next 5 days are extremely critical for him to ensure no internal or external sutures/staples/glues rupture.

What does the next 5 days mean for your pets? I’ll still be there, but my times may be a little off to incorporate everyone into one big route to ensure nobody is missed and that Enzo is also taken care of. I also have backup, or your emergency contact ready to step in if necessary so your pets are covered ☺️

To those of you who have allowed me to shuffle your appointments around the last 2 days I appreciate you more than you know. Thank you all!

“Is it handsome outside, or is it just me?” Baron, probably.

🍁 With cooler temperatures arriving this week it can only mean one thing- costume contest season for your pets! Don’t forget to send a photo of them ready for Halloween by October 31st to be entered to win huge discounts off of visits. Everyone who enters will win a small prize!

Several of you have asked about my raw feeding journey with my personal dogs this year. All 6 are now on a raw infused, or completely raw, diet with natural supplements like turkey tail (at the urging of our vet to help Royal he told us to go to a raw diet). Mariah, who owns Wild Whiskers has been supportive, encouraging and enthusiastic about the journey of all 6 dogs since January.

If you’re interested in feeding raw, raw infused, or just more natural kibble and treat options she is having her first birthday party tomorrow from 11-5 with lots of sales. For those of you who feed Vital Essentials treats or food I hear there’s a sale on them too 😉

Ginger sure does brighten a rainy Sunday morning 🥰

☔️ With rain in the forecast the next two days I may be off of the time window if that is what is best for your individual pup. If that happens I’ll be sure to text you directly.

☔️ If we have a new client meeting set for this week please be sure to check your email for a confirmation from me- I am excited to meet you and your pets!

🥳 November marks the start of year 4 for B & B! Your pets will be busy celebrating throughout November, and I cannot wait to share the final result with everyone. In the meantime don’t forget the costume contest for October!

From being abandoned in a tent in the 100°+ temperatures 2.5 weeks ago, to living her best life at Presque Isle on vacation this week with us. Hope is having the time of her life, and LOVED the beach yesterday. #beachdog #dogsonadventure #seniordogs #boxersofinsta #boxerdog #outdoorswithdogs #VacationWithPets #dogmom #dogwalker #petsitter

Jax is here to make sure everyone remembers to stay hydrated in this weather 😆 #poodlesofinstagram #poodlelove #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #dogsofinstagram #dogwalker #petsitter #troyohio

A tired pupper is a good pupper. Lucy is a huge fan of the tug pulley, so we utilized it the last few nights before bedtime to ensure she was happy, exercised in a safe for this heat manner, and sleeeeeeepy! #agility #corgi #corgisofinstagram #corgipuppy #PetsOfTikTok #petsitter #dogwalker #womanownedbusiness

On Wednesdays we wear pink, and coo over these cute faces 😉 📣 If you can foster, or adopt, a senior female boxer (not pictured) who was abandoned in a tent please DM me! I need to get her into a safe environment soon in these temperatures. My own home is at max capacity with 5 dogs. I can provide a crate, bed, food etc. if you can provide the safe spot for her to land! #petsoftiktok #doglifestyle #womanownedbusiness #petsofinstagram #petcare #petlovers #petsitterlife

It’s hot out there for a snowball 🙃 *no floors were harmed during Lucy’s water bowl swimming party. #shihtzulovers #shihtzu #shihtzusofinstagram #petsoftiktok #petsofinstagram #petcare #petsitterlife

You have never experienced a true midwestern goodbye until you’ve seen me say bye to one of your pets that I only see intermittently….just ask these 8 what it’s like 🤣 #doglifestyle #womanownedbusiness #petsofinstagram #petsitter #dogwalker #doglife

Meet Bella who is a professional at snorkeling in the river on super hot days. Her hobbies include long naps, watching tv, going for rides to the park/pet store, joining her brother for a stroll with their bestie, working hard on her pupsicle and more napping. She was recently approved to do nursing home therapy visits and I know she will be lifting spirits all over soon. Bella is also the literal example of the term “wiggle butt” when it comes to #boxers 🩷 #boxerdog #boxer #boxerlife #dogwalker #petsitter #womanownedbusiness #doglife

I’m still missing 4 faces from today but what an adorable way to deal with the heat 🥰 #doglifestyle #womanownedbusiness #petsofinstagram #petsitter #petlovers #dogwalker #petsitterlife

Those ears 😍 that smile 🥰 the relaxed body position of Miss Roxie 🥹🥹🥹🥹 Roxie is a new to me pup who is reactive, which means nothing except she’s a good girl who needs to be 1000% confident in her surroundings. Seeing her be able to relax some on leash in a safe way is *huge* and it is worth celebrating when these wins happen for any dog who is reactive! We focused on sniffing, scatter, treat, reward while potential distractions approached on the path we were nearby. 4/4 paws up for Roxie on this gorgeous day ☀️ #rottweiler #rottweilersofinstagram #rottweilerworld #reactivedog #reactivedogsunite #dogwalker #dogwalkersofinstagram #doglover #petsitter #petsitterlife

Behold! Baron, the highly trained and well behaved Great Dane, was busy putting in the work this weekend with his bestie. Baron’s parents have worked extensively with a trainer on enforcing healthy, positive and SAFE boundaries for the gentle giant that enable him to thrive in his environment. A tired dog is a good dog 😉

Happy Mother's Day to all the pupper moms out there! Hope your weekend was as paw-some as ours, which has been filled with enrichment mats, bubbles in the sunshine, scent work and snuggles galore! #womanownedbusiness #petsofinstagram #petsitter #petlovers #dogwalker #petsitterlife

Over the last 5 weeks B & B has gotten a little cuter with these faces joining the pack 🩷 Welcome to Finley & Nia, Cameron & Didley, Samantha & Bailey, Daisy, and Harper (not yet pictured is her equally adorable sister Roxie)….and while Sam & Cam look identical I promise they aren’t the same dogs, although I have been wondering if they are siblings this week 😂 #womanownedbusiness #petsofinstagram #petsitter #petlovers #dogwalker #petsitterlife
