Hey everyone! I’m Kristen, a vet tech with 12 years of experience, and I’ve been running boarding and doggie daycare from my home since 2015. I absolutely love caring for animals—it’s what I do for a living and what brings me the most joy!
I have three sweet dogs who love having new friends to play with. Our home has a large fenced backyard (with a divider so I can separate dogs if needed), and I treat every pet who stays here like one of my own.
Because I’ve been a vet tech since 2013, I’m comfortable taking on medical cases—things like post surgical care, diabetics, and pets who need a little extra attention. My husband is also a Certified Veterinary Technician, so your pets will be surrounded by people who truly know and love animals.
If you’re looking for a safe, fun, and loving place for your furry family member while you’re away, I’d love to help!
