WE ARE SO SORRY, WE ARE ONLY ACCEPTING NEW SMALL ANIMAL AND FARM CARE CLIENTS AT THIS TIME.
Big Hearts Little Paws, LLC is a small, fully licensed, bonded, and insured pet care business that prides itself on providing professional and individualized care and enrichment to dogs, cats, small animals, and livestock throughout most of North Snohomish County, WA. We specialize in reactive and shy or fearful dogs, and have an extra soft spot for elderly and disabled pets! We understand most pets would prefer to stay in the comfort of their own home, especially those with special needs and accommodations. We believe all animals deserve to live happy, healthy, and enriched lives, whether you're home or not!
Hello! My name is Noël Christensen. I am certified in Applied Animal Behavior, PetTech First Aid & CPR, and Veterinary Assisting and Grooming. I have over 15 years of experience in the animal care field, including daycare, boarding, training, veterinary and basic grooming. I have over 6 years of in-home pet sitting experience and over 8 years of positive dog training experience, including reactivity and anxiety. I currently have 3 dogs and a cat, ranging from 7 lbs to 100 lbs and 2 yr to 10 yrs. We also foster 3 guinea pigs! They are the center of my universe, along with my wonderful husband. When I'm not soaking up time with your fur babies or my family, I enjoy volunteering at HOME - Helping Our Mini Equines, supporting the Everett Silvertips, attending various art classes, and exploring the beauty of the Pacific Northwest.
🏠 Slumber Pawtys - Overnight boarding in the comfort of your own home, or ours, for all of your furry family members.
🐕 Adventures - Dog (or Cat) walking/drop in visits to give your little Explorer(s) a fun and enriching break during their day.

BHLP provides daily Adventure Stories of your pet(s) including arrival and departure alerts, food/medication alerts (if applicable), potty updates, and pictures of our explorations! We are also happy to reinforce any positive training techniques you may be working on, to help your furry family members continue to learn and grow! (We only provide training reinforcement to pets who have previously worked with or are currently in training with a licensed trainer.)

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.
