A small dogs paradise!

Pet care experience

I have always been a dog person and have always had a dog at home all growing up. I think my life would feel empty if I didn't have my own dog. I have had my little fur baby for 9 years and I spoil her to death! Her name is Porsha and she is a silky / yorkie mix. She is a senior dog but is still full of energy! She loves to have friends over to play with! I volunteered at the Whatcom Human Society until I moved to Lynden in 2015. I love helping dogs and giving rescues a loving home. I will treat your dog as my own and give you updates and pictures while you are away. Porsha and I would love to have a friend come and stay with us!

We were extremely pleased! Kristen was great in communicating with us each day, and our dog was very well cared for. We will certainly bring Her back!

Such a calm and pleasant caregiver.A last minute call as we were traveling and Kristen was very accommodating. She was well versed in issues that may be a concern and monitored our dog and provided good feedback on pickup. I would re-request another booking in a heartbeat if we were back in the area!

Quincy had a great stay at Kristens. Loved getting pictures of her hanging out with Porche. I think she'd like to come and stay longer !

Bailey had a wonderful time with Kristen! She gave her lots of love & attention. Her little dog Porsha got along great with Bailey too. They had a lot of fun together. Bailey even got in some snuggle time with Kristen's husband Casey. Thank you Kristen for taking such good care of our Bailey! You have a wonderful way with animals and your home was very comfortable for our little girl. It's nice having a safe place to leave her while we visit WA. See you again soon!

Information Kristen P. would like to know about your pet

*I will need to know a set drop off and pick up time to confirm any booking.* I don't have any breed preferences. Dogs that are above 25lbs I would like to do a meet and greet before I would confirm the stay. The reason I do this is because my little dog (also a senior dog) sometimes gets too nervous around bigger or higher energy dogs. But, there has been some cases where she gets along very well. So I would love to see if your dog will be a good fit and will enjoy staying with us. Your dog(s) must be house-trained, vaccinated, flea free, and get along with other dogs. Would like to know the dogs behaviors. If they bolt out a door, how they are on walks, where they like to usually sleep at night...etc. * Boarding covers a 24-hr period. Pickups that occur 3-4hours past a 24 hour drop off time are charged additional $10 *If > 5 hours or more, a daycare charge of $30 will be added. * Holiday Boarding is an extra $5/night * Drop off can begin as early as 7:30am. * Daycare Pickups after 7pm are charged additional $5

A typical day

I am home full time and will give your dog unlimited attention! Our home has a lush and secure backyard that is perfect for your dogs to lounge or play in on a nice sunny day. Your dog will get 2 walks daily. I live in a nice neighborhood close to the Jim Kaemingk Sr. trail. I like to take the dogs on the trail to bender fields where there is a leash free dog park, then stop and see the duck pond on the way back. I will also provide unlimited play time and cozy naps on furniture if you allow your dogs to be on furniture at home.
