Trustworthy & Caring
Pet care experience
I'm Krissy and I'd love to take care of your loved pet while you're away! I offer a Small Animal/Lizard/Bird/Fish boarding service in my well-kept home in Dartmouth, conveniently located just off of Main Street. Sorry, no cats or dogs at this time. ABOUT ME: I'm a casual nurse and an experienced dog-walker/pet-sitter with a passion for animals. I've taken care of cats (some with medical needs), rats, guinea pigs, hamsters, geckos, bunnies, fish and dogs. I'm open to learning how to take care of other animals and tailoring my care to any specific medical needs. Pets boarding with me get a lot of attention. I presently have a super cute gecko, Splashpants, living with me, and I just got a kitten, Sprite. I have a room off our main living area that I now use for visiting pets to stay unpestered by Sprite. ABOUT MY SERVICES: Small Pet Boarding: $15 per night (minimum 2 night stay). When inquiring for services, please tell me about your pet, what their daily needs are, and requested boarding dates. Bring your pet’s living necessities on drop-off day (food, bedding (if needing a cage cleaning while staying), treats, cage/tank, any medications, etc.) I generally clean cages with a half-water/half-vinegar solution. Drop me a line if you have any specific questions and I'll be happy to get back to you.
Reviews
I can't say enough good things about Krissy. She was able to accommodate my two guinea pigs last minute, and was so flexible when my plans changed. I was away for three weeks and she sent me daily photos which was so appreciated!! My boys were so happy in her home!! She has a heart of gold and is a committed and highly capable pet caregiver. I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you again Krissy!! <3
She gave the best care for our rabbit, while I was on vacation with my family for 2 weeks. She sent us updates daily and I would recommend her to anyone with a small pet. I would also use her to watch my baby again. Thanks for the great care !
Krissy took care of my two Netherland Dwarf rabbits for 3 weeks while I was away for Christmas holidays. I cannot recommend her enough! She provided multiple daily updates with pictures and videos of my bunnies. She followed all my instructions regarding their care. She was very flexible when my flights got delayed because of weather and was able to keep them for a few extra nights. I felt very content knowing they were with Krissy and I wouldn’t hesitate to have her care for them again. A wonderful experience and my bunnies are very happy and well cared for after their 3 weeks with Krissy!
This past weekend Krissy has looked after our bunny, Gavin for the first time. I can honestly say she is absolutely wonderful. She is very caring and obviously loves the animals she has in her care. We got daily photos, videos and messages to let us know how Gavin was doing. This really was appreciated and put our mind at rest knowing that he was being taken of so well. We will be 100% taking Gavin to Krissy in the future, and recommend her to anyone!!

Information Krissy H. would like to know about your pet
I am a small-statured person and I know my limits. If your dog is very strong, and is able to pull a 115lb human down the street, we're likely not the best pairing! If your pet needs an injected medication, just let me know the best method that works for your pet and I can follow suit.
A typical day
Your dog and I will walk through nearby residential streets, parks (e.g. Shubie, Salt Marsh Trail), around lakes (e.g. Banook, Oathill, Cranberry), or at beaches. If your dog is staying for the day, or longer, bring some of their favourite toys for us to play with.
