Loving care for your furry friend

Pet care experience

I am currently a Veterinary Assistant working towards obtaining my Veterinary Technician license. I graduated from the University of Washington with a Bachelor of Science in Biology with a focus on Animal Behavior. I have always had a love for dogs and I have grown up with Golden Retrievers and Bernese Mountain dogs in my home. I started pet sitting when I was in sixth grade and I have not stopped since! As a Veterinary Assistant I work with and am extremely comfortable with all ages, sizes, and types of breeds. I also have experience with all types of small animals, cats, reptiles, chickens, etc. if you have other creatures in your home too. I previously worked in a veterinary ER, and at PetSmart in the dog hotel taking care of the Doggie Day Care and over night stays. I am able to give medications, injections and know first aid for you pup. I will walk, play, brush, bath your dog or anything you would like for them and keep you updated with pictures while you are away! Animals are my passion in life and I will enjoy your dogs company as much as I hope they enjoy mine!

Our dog has a great time with Kristen. He came home tired and happy.

Kristen is the BEST. Initially Winnie did not even want to go home -- she must have had a blast!! I got a picture checking which was sooo cute. I think she even got a bath because she smelled heavenly! Five stars all the way -- thank you, Kristen!!! Winnie thanks you too :))) xoxo

Kristen did a great job walking our puppy, Washburne. She took some extra time out to come to our home a few days early to learn how to get in and out of our house. She was on time for the walks and we could tell Wash loved walking with her.
