I have taken care of animals pretty much all my life. I am retired from At&t and now an doing what I love. My service is called 'While You're Away Services'. I live in Northfield Center, I have a fenced in backyard. Your pets will be part of my family while staying at my house. I use no crates, unless that is what you do at your home. They will be treated as part of my family. I will do whatever you need for your pets while you're away. I am a certified dog groomer... Dog walking, overnights at your house or mine. I will administer meds, bring in mail, turn off and on lights, take out garbage. You will feel secure while your pets are in my care.

Kris and her husband were great with Onyx. She has a great fenced in back yard with a doggy door. She was easy to communicate with and understanding when my flight was delayed causing pick up of Onyx to be delayed.

Our Goldendoodle Riley just completed a week in Kris' home. I was nervous about leaving our girl in a kennel for a week and this seemed like a good alternative. Riley had a wonderful time! I was at ease knowing she was in a home that is so pet friendly! Kris even went out of her way to buy a gravy to help Riley eat. I received pictures and communications regularly about her progress integrating into the pack, her eating and sleeping. I think after having so many playmates all week, she's sad to be home; it was like doggy camp for the week. We'd use Kris again in a New York minute!

I loved that my girls could run inside & outside. I loved getting pictures from Kris and that she had a kiddie pool for them to play in.

Kris was great and very flexible! She was very accommodating for last minute plans. My pup had lost of fun, slept the whole day after each stay since he was so tired from playing with the other dogs!

Kris did a wonderful job for Maggie. Maggie was content when I arrive back at home. I would certainly use Kris again.
