Fenced in yard! Lots of play!

Pet care experience

We have a great fenced in yard that our pups love to play in, plenty of toys and tennis balls to play with, and lots of spots to sunbathe. We have two dogs who love having friends to play with and one wonderful, dog friendly kitty. There's always another pup to play chase or tug with! We live in a great neighborhood with sidewalks for daily walks. I am also home full time! We love to take to take our pups to swim, hike, and play at all the awesome spots around Austin. We live across from a dog park, so if your dog is great off leash, we can spend some time running around there! I have volunteered with our local shelters, worked in veterinary offices, and have been an active foster. I am very reliable, responsible, and know how hard it is to leave your furry friend behind! They will have a blast on their own pup vacation! We are pretty laid back, pups have free roam, and we are in and out of the backyard all day. We prefer to crate our younger guests if we need to go out, but the rest of the time they have free roam (supervised of course). Pups are welcome to sleep on the couch, in a dog bed, in their crate, or hop on the bed if there's room! I will send you pictures & updates throughout your pup's stay. We are available for boarding, daycare, daily walks, drop in visits, and field trips. We also do drop in visits for cats as well. I look forward to meeting your furry friend and helping out any way I can. Don't hesitate to contact me! Check out my Instagram to see some doggie love! @preciouspups04

My cat requires medicine daily and Kristen has been amazing at caring for her. We get daily updates and when we come back from trips our cat always has a great coat and looks very healthy.

Kristen was SO helpful and flexible with Kya. Sent lots of photos and updates throughout her time with her which was really appreciated. They live close to a park and so she got lots of playtime and even took her on field trips to the pool which I know she loved. Had lots of other social time with dogs which was great for her! Highly recommend Kristen.
