Backyard Oasis for the Pups!

Hello, my name is Kristen! I am originally from Iowa and grew up on a farm with a golden retriever mix, a black lab, a beagle, a cat, chickens, ducks, and some geese. I used to volunteer for the Humane Society where I walked, fed, and cleaned both dogs and cats. When I lived in NY I walked dogs via wag, so I’ve had a lot of opportunities to meet some amazing pups! I do not have a dog of my own, however I do spend a lot of time watching my friends pups and volunteering at PawsCo here in Denver. I understand and believe animals are an extension of the family and take care of animals as such. I look forward to boarding your pup! :) * Boarding and walking notes * I have a pretty large backyard and I work from home. Your animal will be treated as one of my own and will have all lounging and walking rights throughout the house. Whether your pet enjoys long runs, short walks, afternoon catch, or just lounging on the sofa I am able to accommodate… making sure they get the love and attention they deserve! :)

Kristen and Derek were amazing dog sitters for our anxious pup, Nori! Kristen sent us tons of photos and updates, and it was clear he was getting plenty of attention, love, and care. He always looked comfortable and happy, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Kristen and Derek again for any future dog sitting needs!

Kristen is amazing! She sent so many photos and videos throughout the day. She was always quick to respond, and we could tell Ginger had a great time. Would definitely have our pup stay with her again anytime!!

Kristen is fantastic! I got daily updates on my two dachshunds' adventures and snuggles. She gives them plenty of treats, attention, and play time, and I picked up two tired, happy dogs. Will definitely use her the next time we take a trip!

Kristen sent a ton of pictures and videos of our happy, little guy! Loved the communication and Artie came back happy and healthy - and that's all that you can really ask for. Will definitely use her again in the future!

Kristen was awesome! She made me feel very comfortable leaving my two dogs to her care for the first time. She sent me multiple pics and videos everyday and I knew my dogs were in good hands. I would totally use Kristen again!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a larger fenced yard and live right by the 303 art walk. We are pretty active when it comes to being outside in our yard, however if your pup enjoys the indoors we can certainly accommodate that as well! We have a shaded patio and gazebo, so no over heating happening on our watch!

A typical day

I like to start the morning with some coffee outside, the pups usually are having a good time with fetch in the yard and catching the sun. If they prefer walks, we will hit the art walk and walk past York Street Yards.

I always like to know the pups normal routine so I can keep consistent. Also, if they have any triggers or fears of other dogs. We do have dogs in the neighborhood, so would just want to be sure if you prefer backyard activities and/or long walks… of course any allergies and if your pup is crate trained.
