Highlights
Pet care experience
Your dog’s new running buddy!
I work 100% from home for a company as an Independent Contractor, so I have the freedom to create my own hours. I have a 5 year old happy boy named Reese, so your dog must be able to get along with other dogs. Reese goes for runs and adventures with me all the time, and absolutely adores other dogs and playing with them. I have had dogs my entire life, and can't imagine a life without them. Growing up, I trained two seeing eye dogs for the blind. While it was a wonderful experience, one of the dogs succeeded in passing the program, and it was too much for me to go through saying goodbye to another dog! I also worked in a veterinary clinic for a year, but it was too difficult in the long term to see animals in pain so frequently. I have extensive experience training puppies from 8 weeks old to 14 years and everything in between. I love to spend my time helping to make dogs feel comfortable, and give owners the peace of mind to have their dogs in a home as opposed to the stress of a boarding facility. I completely understand the stress of leaving your dog, because I go through it too! I know I've done a good job when the dogs that return sprint straight into the house :) I understand the importance of an exercise routine for dogs, and know it can be difficult for busy people. Dogs deserve the release of energy, and they deserve to feel good and have their needs met! I ensure the dogs get a special outing, run, or multiple walks during the day when staying with me. Caring for dogs is already an ingrained part of my routine, so your pup will just be an additional part of the routine! Dogs that stay with me are allowed to be on the couch and bed. I also have plenty of dog beds scattered around my home. I live in a townhouse, but right by a plethora of trails and parks in the cordata area. I know dogs can be anxious staying with a stranger, so we always have a before bed walk to try and eliminate any jitters. They get an essential oil diffuser in our room to help put them at ease, and a cuddle buddy in Reese.

Ratings and reviews
Flurry had a great time with Kristyn and Reece! Lots of time at parks and in the water. He might’ve had more fun on his vacation than we did on ours! Kristyn was a good communicator and we felt Flurry was well taken care of for the duration of our trip.
Remi had another great stay with Kristyn! She took him on lots of adventures during his weeklong stay and sent pictures and videos to keep me in the loop. He came home a tired and happy dog!
Krystin was amazing! She took fantastic care of my rambunctious puppy, gave him lots of exercise, and kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout the stay. I can easily tell that she loves dogs and cared for mine like her own. Her dog, Reese, is so sweet and was a great friend to my pup. I would highly recommend Krystin!
Kristyn was great. She treated our dog like her own, always double-checked before doing anything super flexible, and perfect for our active and sensitive pup. Plus, she kept us reassured with tons of happy dog photos while we were away. We highly recommend Kristyn.
She made sure my dog had lots of exercise and always sent pictures and videos
Kristyn was such a great dog sitter and very flexible and helpful when we had to change plans due to a flight cancellation. Our dog was in good hands. Really appreciate her!

Schedule
I work from home 100% of the time as an independent contractor for a virtual company, so I am able to make my own hours. I will typically break for a few hours midday to go for a run or take Reese to Squalicum beach or Padden off leash trails for a run! My job gives me the luxury of being able to devote care to your pup, and ensure they have around the clock care.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
The pups that come visit are treated as my own. That sounds cliche but it is true! Reese is both the MVP and Customer Relations Specialist :). He is the sweetest and most patient dog I have ever owned, not an aggressive bone in his body (almost to a fault). His calm and happy demeanor makes a huge difference in making the visiting pups feel at ease. We lost my 14 year old Chocolate Lab Leia in December of last year, so he loves having friends come over. He also grew up in a pack of coonhounds as well, so he loves a pack.

A typical day
Typically wake up around 7, and let Reese out and give him breakfast, and get ready for my day. We will go for a short walk, and then get started on the workday. I have a 2-3 block in the middle of the day for a longer walk, run, or adventure for the dogs. Then back to work, and dinner time, walk after dinner, and bedtime.
