About Us
Hey, I'm Kristen.
I spent over a decade pouring my soul into Corporate America. The higher I climbed up the ladder, the further I felt from myself.
I knew it was about time to do something different, so I started building my exit strategy. The plan was to use the skills I spent a lifetime developing to find meaningful work on my own terms.
Then in the spring of 2023, I unexpectedly lost my father and gained a new perspective on what it is I'm doing with this one, precious life.
The reality is we only have so many days promised to us. Eventually, it will come to an end. I didn't want my end to be in that job, so I quit and took some time for myself.
A few months later, with grief lingering in my heart and overwhelming clarity in my bones, PUP was born.
And I can't wait to help you spoil your dog.
The PUP House
PUP - the store is a small dog boutique with a big heart.
If it feels like home that's because we are - in a house, that is. This bungalow-style home was built in the early 1900s and occupied by the same family since the 1970s. When presented with the opportunity to purchase the property, we spoke with the family about our dreams of opening and store and worked together to make it a reality.
Conventional is something that we've never really prescribed to because weird is what we do. We like it here a lot and we think you will, too.
Stop by and say hi! We would love to see you.
