Hello! My name is Noël Christensen. I am a Certified Animal Behaviorist and certified in PetTech First Aid & CPR and Veterinary Assisting and Grooming. I have over 13 years of experience in the animal care field, including daycare, boarding, training, veterinary and basic grooming. I have over 4 years of in-home pet sitting experience and over 6 years of positive dog training experience, including reactivity and anxiety. I have 4 dogs and a cat, ranging from 5 lbs to 70 lbs and 1 yr to 19 yrs. They are the center of my universe, along with my wonderful husband. When I'm not enjoying time with your fur babies or my family, I enjoy Kickboxing at Fit Thereom Everett, attending art classes, and exploring the beauty of the PNW.

Noel is amazing. She took great care of my 4 month old puppy when we had to go on a weekend trip. I received a ton of pictures and updates of their adventures. My puppy had so much fun. I absolutely recommend Noel and Big Hearts Little Paws.
Libby loves staying with you!!! Thanks for taking such good care of her.
Noël made it so easy to go out of town. I am a paranoid pet parent and don’t trust many people to watch my pets. She kept me posted throughout the day providing pictures and telling me about their adventures. I have an anxious, reactive Great Dane who has trouble making friends. She knew exactly how to approach and manage him to make him feel more comfortable. I will definitely be recommending Big Hearts Little Paws to everyone.
I am so glad that I found Big Hearts Little Paws. Noel took better care of my dog than I could have imagined. Zoey's happiness and comfort were apparent in the tons of photos and videos, and I have no doubt she got all the exercise and affection she needed while I was away. My first experiences have been wonderful, and Noel has truly set a new standard for exceptional pet sitting care.
