Experienced Pet-Sitter Available!

Experienced pet-sitter with a widely flexible schedule available for any needs you may have for your pet! On top of pet-sitting and day trip/walking experience I have experience as an assistant groomer from working for The Green Groomer in Northampton, MA which you are welcome to get in touch with as a reference. I also worked at a Dog Daycare in the Boston area before moving to Western MA, where I was involved with many responsibilities surrounding the pups including providing their meals, pick-ups/drop-offs, de-escalation of conflict, and general moderation of behavior. Working in this field has granted me the opportunity to work with dogs of all temperaments, ages, and sizes and has taught me how to interact with pups from all walks of life. On top of that I have experience with bathing, nails, and ear cleanings from my time at the Green Groomer.

Christian was fantastic. Miracle was well taken care of and clearly enjoyed her time with him. It was so nice not to worry because I knew she was in such good hands.

Christian responded quickly to our initial request & because we had a long drive he agreed to accommodate a 2 hour drop off window (we texted updates). He was friendly at drop off, happily engaged the dogs, asked good questions about their needs & sent photos as requested. At pick-up he offered details about their stay. Both dogs were happy to see us but seemed to have enjoyed their night with Christian. Would book again

Christian is great! He is patient, chill, and very good with dogs! I loved that our dog wanted to go back inside with him when we had to leave; that is a great sign!

Schedule

My schedule is extremely flexible, with open availability during the week before 3PM, making check-ins during the work day hassle free, and my shift never getting out later than 10:30PM, so overnight boardings are still not a problem during my work week. I also have Friday-Sundays off so long weekend boardings are always an option.

Safety, trust & environment

Please let me know in advance of any house rules for your pup (i.e furniture rules, dietary restrictions, routine scheduling) and I will be sure to follow them with the same consistency you would. In regards to boarding with me they would be boarded in a pet-free, smoke-free, child-free condo with a large unfenced yard in the back for leashed outings when needed!

A typical day

I love hiking and going on walks with pups. There is a little hidden gem dog park in my town that is never too busy which I would be more than happy to take your dog to if you are comfortable with them in a dog park setting. I also live on a street with very minimal, slow moving traffic that is great for walks in case you are not comfortable with a dog park setting.

Please let me know of any house rules for your pet (i.e. furniture policies, general routines, corrective behavioral issues) and please inform me of any dietary restrictions or concerns. Please also inform me of any temperament notes, or former traumas (this will never turn me away from a pup, I have worked with dogs of all sizes and temperaments it just helps to know beforehand.) Thank you!
