“Nicholas is very friendly and communicative. He sent regular daily updates via photo and video of my cat. My cat warmed up to the space within a couple days and was way more comfortable there than we would’ve been at a kennel. Highly recommend for a safe and comfortable place for your pet!”

About: I currently have 2 dogs of my own, an 8 year old Dutch Shepherd & a 5 year old Golden Retriever. They are my absolute babies, and my life revolves around them. I’ve grown up around all sorts of dogs & cats, and am extremely comfortable around them. I live an active lifestyle and walk my dogs 1.5 miles daily. My biggest stressor when traveling is finding adequate care for my boys, so I know what it’s like finding the perfect care solution for your pets. I do in house visits, walks, dog boarding, anything and everything your pet may need. I work a rotation schedule at work, so I’m 2 days on 2 days off, so my schedule is all over the place but also allows me to provide coverage during the week and weekends. I can do home visits, dog walking, dog boarding, oral medication, specialty feedings, dog enrichment, and anything your pet would need to thrive in your absence.

Her home was beautiful and so pet friendly, and she was the perfect fit for us! I have already sent her to some friends as a recommendation and will be using her again! Goldie loved her stay at KK’s! 🤍”

When he was picked up we could tell he was well cared for, happy, and tired out from all of the playing while we were gone :) she was also very accommodating when I realized that our flights were at a different time than I thought and agreed to have him early! We will definitely be re-booking!”

Diana took a last minute boarding for us as we were in town from Denver but had car troubles and didn’t get to ski as planned. Her taking our reservation made it so we could get a few runs in before we left and still make sure our pup was taken care of! She only had her for a few hours but took her on a walk, let her sun bathe and sent photos throughout her stay. Would book her again next time we’re in big sky!
