Vet Tech - Large Fenced Yards!
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.

Ratings and reviews
She is so helpful and caring, and we felt assured our lab was in good hands. She went above and beyond to help us with the logistics of a last-minute unplanned trip, and it couldn’t have gone any better.
Kristen was very quick to communicate and my dog was very comfortable in her home!
Kristen was great! Our dog had a blast at her place for 8 days. He came back healthy, and she sent photos and videos of him having fun every day.
Kristen was excellent with our two dogs and gave constant Dailey updates. Will for sure use her again when needed.
SHE IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZINGGGGG!!!! I was so scared leaving my baby behind for the first time but Kristen made me feel safe! She kept me updated and was on time with responses even when at work!!! I would 10000% recommend!
Kristen has been walking my Alaskan husky for the past few weeks. She’s been super communicative, reliable, and awesome at adapting to my dog’s individual quirks. My dog is particularly shy around new people, but Kristen’s great at trying different things to make him feel more comfortable. It’s clear that she’s skilled in reading and adapting to different dog behaviors.

- 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.
