Kristen is the founder/owner of Blockheads & Bows Pet Services LLC. She created B & B in November 2021 while searching for a daycare for her own dogs, Enzo and Royal. Realizing something was missing from the local market for bully breed/special needs pets, an idea was quickly born. Her goal in creating B & B is to provide safe, loving care for dogs of all breeds.

Kristen is pet CPR/first aid certified and has extensive experience with pet medications, including injectables. She is proud to have built Blockheads & Bows from the ground up and will happily talk your ear off about it any chance she gets. When she is not working, Kristen enjoys traveling, cooking, reading and photography.

Kristen is a proud dog mom to 5 crazy pups with her fiancé, Dean.

Miss Suzie joined Blockheads and Bows in June 2023, and has received excellent client feedback from her visits and walks. Her enthusiasm is contagious!

Suzie grew up in Tipp City, where she still resides. Suzie works for our local park districts, and if you shop at RPets you’ll see her in there running the show weekly where she will happily recommend treats or toys to keep your pet busy.

While at her job at Rpets, Suzie met her beloved dog Peach, who she adopted two years ago from a local rescue. In the two years since bringing Peach home Suzie has discovered an interest in canine behavior and canine enrichment.

Nana Pam & PopPop Dennis have been behind the scenes of Blockheads and Bows since day one. Actually, long before day one since these two are Kristen’s parents. These lovebirds have turned into full-fledged dog lovers since Kristen kept bringing home dogs, even after saying “okay, that’s the last one!”

Pam & Dennis have an American Bully, Sophie who is the pride and joy of Dennis’ life…as well as being his favorite child, sorry Kristen. They also have a special needs boxer, Jackson, who is Pam’s whole world. Nana and PopPop fill in occasionally as needed for potty breaks and pop in visits. Nana Pam also does the occasional overnight for select clients.

Here we grow again! Meet our newest team member, Sunshine B! In late 2024, after a visit with her pets she mentioned “if you ever need to hire again, let me know because I would love to join your team” and here we are! I am so excited for her to join Suzie and me in caring for all of your pet’s needs. Her kindness, enthusiasm and positive outlook definitely live up to her name! Sunshine will be filling in for play dates, potty breaks and almost overnights. Hear from her directly below:

“Hi, my name is Sunshine I have 2 boxers, Bella and Chunk who are my world in addition to 2 rescue cats, Oliver and Twix. I enjoy being outside in nature and spending time with my friends and family. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies and love on them.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the B&B team and I look forward to an amazing 2025!”
