Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I ensure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their familiar environment. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing the same love, patience, and attention I give my own pets. From feeding and walking to playtime and cuddles, I follow your specific care instructions to maintain their routine and happiness while you’re away.

Information Kristen A. would like to know about your pet

I have lots of experience with senior pets and animals who have medical or behavioral challenges. Please let me know what special needs your pet has I’m happy to accommodate and adjust their care to make sure they’re safe and comfortable

A typical day

Walks full of sniffs, tail wags, and mini adventures • Plenty of cuddle time on the couch or sunny spots on the floor • Enrichment play (puzzle toys, scent games, hide & seek!) • Homemade frozen treats on hot days • Bedtime belly rubs and a calming routine if they’re anxious

Reliable, Loving Pet Care

Pet care experience

With over 10 years of pet care experience, including 3 years working at a dog daycare, I offer reliable, loving, and personalized care for your furry friends. I’m also Pet CPR certified, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in safe hands. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, drop in visits or simply keeping your pets company, I ensure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I share my home with two rescue dogs, chickens, turkeys, goats and four amazing rescue cats, each with their own story and big personalities. I’m also a foster, which means there’s usually a dog or cat in need of extra love staying with me and I’ll admit, I’m always one snuggle away from becoming a foster failure! Animals are my whole world!

Kristen was absolutely amazing. She was so accommodating and had such tenderness with my puppies. I would book her again in a heartbeat (and I most definitely will be)!!! If you are in Colchester area, I highly recommend using Kristen, she truly loves what she does! 🐾

Kris has been absolutely amazing with Ralphie and Penny. She was timely in her initial response to my request, was flexible with scheduling a meet&greet, and has continued to be communicative during drop ins. She is clearly knowledgeable, experienced, and the dogs love her. I would 100% recommend her services.
