Flexible schedule!
Pet care experience
Hello! My partner, Shawn, and I are excited to have the chance to board your pup! I (Kristen) am available for dog walking and drop ins throughout the week. *Boarding* We live in a spacious home in NE Renton with a large, fully fenced yard for furry guests to potty, sniff, run around, and play fetch. We try our best to have at least one person at home. Occasionally (on weekends), both of us may need to step out, but your dog will never be home alone for more than a few hours. We have a 10 pound maltipoo named Bingsoo who our world revolves around. Bingsoo is well socialized and loves having friends over! Depending on your dog’s personality, Bingsoo is happy to chill next to them on the couch, or run around and play chase and wrestle. For boardings of more than 4 days, we would like to have a trial daycare or one night boarding to make sure they get along with Bingsoo and fit into our household. We’ve noticed dogs can be quite different at our house compared to their own home. We require that all dogs in our care get along with strangers and other dogs as we watch up to two dogs a day (plus Bingsoo) and want to keep everyone happy and safe. It’s best to reach out a few days in advance to allow time for scheduling the M&G.
Reviews
Kristen and Shawn were great! They watched our shy Pomeranian mix and helped her relax during the stay. They were good about providing updates and were very responsive! I highly recommend them and will be using them again.
We’re so happy to have found Shawn and Kristen to care for our dog, Jellybean! We can tell that Jellybean enjoys going to Shawn and Kristen’s house as he always pulls us towards their house. We were able to go on vacation with peace of mind knowing that Jellybean is well cared for. Thank you Kristen and Shawn - you guys are the best!
Great care, as always, for our dog while we were by on a weeklong trip!
Kristen and Shawn took terrific care of our shichon while we were out of town for 5 days. We got frequent pictures and videos and kept us informed every step of the way. When we picked Milo up, he had clearly been well taken care of. We'll definitely use their care again.

Information Kristen & Shawn N. would like to know about your pet
Please keep your pup up-to-date on vaccinations and on flea medication to keep all dogs safe in our care. At our meet and greet, we will discuss: • your pup’s typical routine • any health issues (meds, allergies, etc.) • behaviors of concern (aggression, chewing, separation anxiety, barking etc.) • where they sleep • AND anything else that would help us give them the best care possible!
A typical day
I take Bingsoo on twice daily walks within our quiet neighborhood or at a nearby trail with sights and smells to explore. We also play plenty of fetch and tug-of-war for exercise.

Availability
We feed dogs separately and will follow your typical feeding schedule. Please note - if your dog typically free feeds or grazes throughout the day, we won’t be able to follow this as Bingsoo will try to eat their food. We instead feed many times a day (about 10-15 minutes at a time) supervised. All past doggy guests have adjusted to this schedule. We typically go on walks twice a day (weather permitting) and make sure all dogs get enough exercise. We allow frequent access to our yard for pottying and play time. We require all dogs to be fully potty trained.
