Personalized care for your dog or cat - Kinikinik

“My dog Tim had a great time staying with Chris and her four dogs. She checked in daily with pictures and updates which made me feel comfortable. Knowing Tim was so well cared for made our vacation more enjoyable! I would definitely recommend Chris to care for your pets.”

About: My husband Alex and I provide patient, attentive care tailored to each dog’s needs—whether that’s high-energy adventure walks or slow, gentle outings. We have hands-on experience caring for a paralyzed dog, which has made us especially skilled in mobility support, reading subtle body language, and making sure every pup feels safe and comfortable. I work as a nightshift RN 3 days a week. My husband Alex is home 24/7. Your pups will have constant companionship and care with us! We are confident with puppies, seniors, and dogs who need a little extra time or understanding. We prioritize clear communication with owners and treat every dog like our own—lots of love, consistency, and attention to detail. We will only provide care for one family at a time as that is what we expect when our pup is being watched! We live 2 miles from the national park entrance in a one level tri-plex. We have outdoor space for potty breaks & light playtime. We have an 8 year old golden retriever who is friendly with all animals (unless you’re a squirrel 😜). We currently have only 1 elderly neighbor who uses the home as a weekend getaway. He has 2 dogs which are fenced in or on leash. Our home is pup friendly on all surfaces and if they like to sleep in bed with us that’s perfectly fine! We take our girl on a mandatory leashed walk, hike, paddle or dog park trip every single day. Please reach out with your needs and expectations. We would be happy to discuss how we are the right fit for your fur baby! -The Meyers 🐶

“If you have cats and need care for them when you are not home, Casey is your answer. It is obvious she cares about felines and knows how to care for them. She came to our home to check on our three, sent pictures and made sure all were OK while we were out of town. Such a relief to have someone in the area that you can count on for care and check-ins.”

“Hanna did a wonderful job caring for my elderly cat. She sent sweet pictures and thorough am/pm updates. Hanna is warm, outgoing, engaged, enthusiastic, caring, sincere and confident. My cat takes several meds- topical, injection, and oral and she was able to administer successfully. Not only that but she went above and beyond loving on him and giving him quality time. I highly recommend Hanna.”

About: I grew up on a dairy farm, caring for animals of all kinds since I was able to walk. I’ve also raised my own pets (a cuddly pyrenees, big mama bernese, her puppies and three kitties). While in Thailand I also volunteered at an animal shelter and worked in the clinic with the disabled critters. I’m open to all kinds of pets as long as they’re friendly :) Although I do a good job of keeping myself busy i’m extremely flexible and my schedule usually changes weekly! I am a photographer so when I’m not out shooting I have lots of time when I’m editing to spend with your pets. I love early mornings and spending quality time with animals. I love taking walks along grassy areas or the beach and pets make it even better! Your pet is my family while we are together. Their safety and enjoyment is my top priority!

“Kamryn was outstanding and provided excellent care for Will, our cat. To best illustrate how amazing Kamryn was with Will, I will explain a couple things about Will. First, Will is very shy but also needy. Therefore, though it doesn't always appear so to an outside observer, he truly thrives on human interaction despite his shyness. He can actually get physically ill during our absences due to the change in - or sometimes lack of - human contact and socialization. Secondly, he is getting older, becoming somewhat of a senior kitty, and as such needs just a little extra care and attention from that perspective. Thus, one of the things we value most in a pet sitter is communication, and Kamryn truly excelled in this area. Given the two "Will traits" listed above, we particularly value communication, so (a) we can receive the per-visit updates (Rover cards) to get a concrete sense of his (hopeful) human interaction since he needs it so much, and (b) we can feel at ease that he is doing okay health-wise in our absence given that he is becoming a senior kitty. Kamryn provided amazing updates during each of her visits, so her communication was truly second to none and gave us peace of mind that he was getting both socialization and top-notch care. She always did the Rover cards, and was super quick in the back-and-forth messaging within Rover. Kamryn was not just communicative but extremely reliable - she always came on time for the full duration, and always processed the Rover cards. The second area where Kamryn was extraordinary was the socialization with Will - not simply from a communication aspect, but from the actual real and impactful interactions she had with Will. We have had a number of pet sitters through the years for Will, and frankly Kamryn did the best job ever at getting to know Will and getting him past his shyness. Usually, Will hides from people he doesn't know, and they don't ever get to know how much of a sweetheart he really is. With Kamryn, Will's tail was straight up in greeting when she would arrive, he led her around the house, and he let her pet him and scratch him all over - all unprecedented. In short, Will absolutely adored Kamryn. That has never happened with a "stranger" in all of his twelve years. In just a few short days, Will decided Kamryn was definitely not a stranger and it's clear that he wants to see her again! To have that type of skill with animals is truly talented and magical, and Kamryn has it in spades. We cannot recommend her enough!”

About: I love cats so much. They are so full of personality and every one is different. Would love to know yours! I used to own a cat, she was my baby, recently had to put her down.

About: I have experience with all types of dogs I grew up with a pitbull and Rottweiler. After those dog my family adopted 2 more German Shepard mixes from the shelter so I have been around high energy animals and untrained animals. I also volunteered at the humane society for 4 years during high school. My duties at that time were cleaning kennels, walking dogs, and overall spending time with animals. I am currently a student who is taking all online classes so my schedule is very flexible and fitting to you and your fur babies needs I respect others property and treat it just as well if not better than my own. Your pets safety and happiness is my number one priority.

“Hannah’s husband was very friendly and kind. He sent us several photos throughout the day, including one be of Sky hanging out with their sweet dog. She had 2 walks and was happy when we returned in the afternoon. We could tell she was well cared for. We’ll definitely use Hannah again the next time we’re in Estes.”

About: I have been the neighborhood pet sitter ever since I was in high school (I’m post grad now so a very loooooong time). When I was younger I grew up on a farm and have always been surrounded by furry friends ranging from cats, dogs, chickens, horses, goats, cows, and even buffalo. I also volunteered at my local animal shelter throughout nursing school. Even though I have a wide range of experience with caring for lots of different kinds of pets, it’s cats and dogs I love the most. I love to meet new furry friends! I also have my golden retriever, Casper, with me if your furry friend is open to meeting him as well!! I work as a nurse here in Seattle. My schedule is pretty flexible. If you have any questions about my availability please don’t hesitate reach out. I value respecting your home and prioritize making your furry friend feel as comfortable as possible. I strive to foster a safe environment for you and your pet.

About: I’m a huge animal lover!! I always make sure to build strong bonds with each animal in order for everyone to be as comfortable as possible. I specialize in creating engaging activities in order for our furry friends to have the best time while away from their family. I have a variety of experience in taking care of puppies, elder dogs as well as dogs with medical needs. I’m a recent college graduate and am taking a break this summer from working so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your furry babies!! Don’t hesitate to send me a message to see if our schedules work together. I’m 22 years old and live in a home with one other female roommates. I have a nice big fenced backyard and am close to city park so your animal will get lots of exercise and enrichment.
