Animals are family! & as important

Recently having moved from Florida, my 12y/o dog and I love taking walks here in Washington. I have two sweet residents cats who keep us on our toes. My dog, Bear, has been with me longer than my husband and he knows it! I know what my animals mean to me; they are family members. And that is why animal care is so important. Let me help you take care of your furry family while you’re away from home. We have a loving and safe home to offer for nights away from home and we are very close to several nice public parks. If a dog is used to dog parks and other animals, we will play with others. If not, a wonderful stroll through the park will be a great break throughout the day.

Our kitties adore Kristen- and one of them is super picky about her human companions, so that is saying something! We are always so grateful when Kristen is able to take care of our beasties when we are away. And the photos are the best!

Kristen was an excellent pet sitter for Barley and Miso. She ensured all their needs were met and provided regular, proactive updates that kept us reassured while we were away. Reliable, caring, and highly recommended for anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.
