Information Kristen P. would like to know about your pet

It’s helpful to know if your dog has any allergies or special dietary restrictions. I like to know a dogs typical routine (time of meals, walks, etc) so I can keep things as similar to home as possible. Also, I find it helps ease the adjustment if you bring a dog bed or blanket with you something that smells like home.

A typical day

I’m a stay at home home, so I have time to spend with your dog during the day. I will listen to what your dog’s normal routine looks like and add some extra walks and playtime. I want your pup to have a fun vacation while you are away!

Pet care experience

I’ve had (and loved) pets of all kinds my whole life. I’ve always especially felt a connection to dogs, and have a great deal of experience with them. I worked in dog grooming while getting my degree in biology at the University of Washington, where I worked will all different breeds and ages of dogs. I’m used to working with the smallest to largest breeds, in addition to young puppies to seniors who require extra care and medications. I’ve done extensive pet sitting for animals of all kinds over the years. I’ve volunteered and fostered for the humane society, helping animals too young or sick for adoption grow and get well. I also worked on socialization of shelter animals, helping to boost their chances of adoption.

Kristen (and her family!) were awesome with Bailey. He's a four month old puppy who doesn't have the best manners yet and Kristen was so positive about him and even happily helped work on teaching him to walk down stairs (something he's been scared to try at home). She sent great daily updates each morning and was very responsive. My kids helped me drop Bailey off and they commented as we left that they were sure he would have a really great time at her house - which speaks to how welcoming she was and how much she clearly loves dogs. We're looking forward to using her again for a future trip.

Kristen took the best care of our senior pup! We appreciated the pictures and videos as well as the extra effort involved in caring for an almost 16y/o. Would definitely book with Kristen again

An Absolute Gem—Our Go-To Choice! This is our fourth time using Kristen, and we truly feel like we hit the jackpot. Leaving your fur babies behind is never easy, but Kristen provides complete peace of mind. Every single time we leave our pups with her, I know they are getting top-tier care and endless love.Her communication is flawless. She sends regular daily updates and adorable pictures, so we always feel connected. It is incredibly obvious how much she genuinely cares about them. It is a total family affair—even her daughter asks about our pups! If you want a sitter who will treat your dogs like her own family, Kristen is the absolute best choice. We cannot recommend her enough!
