Availability

Your pet would fit into my routine I have with Osker and a couple other consistent dogs I walk weekly (unless you don’t want your pet to meet any other dogs during their stay or while walking). I have a flexible schedule and anything else you request for your pet’s schedule can be discussed and adjusted as needed!

Cozy Ballard Apt Stay!

Pet care experience

Hi there, I’m currently a full time dog walker/sitter and live with my labradoodle Osker who is 5 years old! He gets along great with other dogs, doesn’t mind sharing his toys, and loves company! Osker is my best friend and I’d love to host, visit, walk, and overall care for your best friend when needed!

Kristen did a great job watching my dog, Curtis! I could tell he had a good day when I picked him up. I also really appreciated the updates I received throughout the day. I will definitely consider Kristen the next time I book!

Kristen is amazing! She took such great care of Tofu, and I’m genuinely grateful for how thoughtful and attentive she was. This was our first boarding experience on Rover, and I’m so glad we found Kristen (and Osker). Tofu was in such good hands. I also really appreciated all the updates throughout her stay. Highly recommend!
