Vet Tech - Fenced Yard
Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Kristen. I work as vet tech and have been working with animals my entire life. I have a love and passion for dogs and other animals and would love to care for them while you are gone! They are welcome to stay right in our home and become part of the family! I have extensive experience working with animals. I have been volunteering at my local humane society and fostering and rehabilitating dogs for many years. I have years of experience caring for and training sled dogs. I have been training my own dogs for a variety of sports such as Obedience, Rally, and Agility, Dock diving, and Barn Hunt for over ten years as well. I have worked at a doggie daycare and boarding facility for several years where I was constantly working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments (I love them all)! I also have experience pet sitting dogs in my home for many years. I have been working as a vet tech for the past 8 years. I have a flexible work schedule with a 3 hour lunch break and only about 5 minutes away from home. Your dog is never left alone for more than 4 hours at a time. We live just outside of town in a secluded and private area of Goldstream. We have a large fenced in yard for your dog to play in. We also have direct access to the Goldstream trails right from our property (which I hike very frequently with the dogs) We have a small team of sled dogs that are also part of our family. They are fenced off in a separate yard, but all are very friendly. If you have a dog that loves to play, we basically have our own dog park right here with lots of friendly dogs! I have several dogs that absolutely love to play with other dogs and would love to meet your dog. Please contact me if interested! I would love to watch your dog while you are away! I am very active with my own dogs and your dog is welcome to join right in! We play tons of fetch, go swimming and hiking, as well as dog sledding and skijoring in the winter.

Reviews
Kristen is always so great with Lucy. All of her resident dogs are so well behaved and Lucy gets along with all of them. She’s so great about sending pictures and videos. She has a huge fenced in yard that the dogs love. I will always choose Kristen when finding somewhere for Lucy to stay.
Kristen is a great dog sitter and was available on short notice! This is the second time I've had her board my dog and she's been great, flexible with drop off/pick up times, and easy to communicate with. I completely trust her with my pup and recommend her to all.
Kristen was great. Her house and yard are a perfect set up for active dogs who love to run and play. She stayed in touch,sending play videos and made sure we knew how our pup was doing every day. I would highly recommend Kristen.
What a positive experience. Kristin keeps you posted on your furry kiddo through videos and photos. My boy loved his playtime with her pups and socialized well. She took Indiana Jones on walks and gave him total love and care. I am extremely happy to have used Kristin and will make sure she is my new doggie sitter. Thank you Kristin!

Information Kristen E. would like to know about your pet
I am used to handling all breeds and sizes of dogs. I do do not have a preferance, I love them all! I would like to know what your dog likes and what can make their stay most enjoyable. I do require that your dog is dog friendly and used to being in a crate while I am at work, unless they are well behaved when left alone.
