Experienced Care for Peace of Mind

Pet care experience

Hi! I've worked with dogs for about 15 years and have worked in veterinary hospitals, trained dogs for private security, worked independently as a pet dog trainer, and been pet sitting on the side the whole time. I have the most experience with large working breeds but I love all sizes and types of dogs. I live on a large property in the country with plenty of room to run and provide daily walks, as well as a bath and nail trim, with your pet’s stay. If dogs are social they can be put together in a playgroup during the day but I am also fine with separating dogs with social issues that don’t do we well with other dogs and/or people. Exercise and boarding options can be custom tailored to the needs of your particular pet. I don’t do meet and greets as I am extremely busy and just don’t have time for the additional appointments.

This was my first time boarding my dog. I was a little anxious because my dog gets nervous when placed in a new situation. But Kristen kept him safe and even sent him home freshly groomed.

I was a little nervous to leave our dogs in a new home. Everything went fine , our 3 dogs returned happy and tired out! All 3 even got a bath! I would go back to Kristen anytime!

Fantastic experience! My dogs looked happy and very clean when we picked them up. She responded to my messages and seemed to be very competent with dogs. I get super nervous leaving my girls with new people, but leaving them with Kristen was the right choice. Thank you so much Kristen!

Information Kristen L. would like to know about your pet

I've had the most experience with large working breeds but love little dog snuggles as well. It would be nice to know if your dog has any quirks like not doing well with other dogs, or being terrified of people with hats, etc. No problem if they do but it's nice to expect it so I can be careful with your dog in situations that may make them uncomfortable.

A typical day

I typically walk the Gulch Trail at 92nd street park. It's close to me and scenic. Also love doing anything involving water!
