Can’t wait to meet your fur babies!

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of MANY dogs growing up, family and friends pets and my own dogs my whole life. I am very good at teaching puppies tricks and administering medications ! :) I grew up with two pugs(AKC), and used to travel and show them in dog shoes throughout much of the west coast. I have always ADORED dog, sometimes more than humans, 😆 LOL 🖤🐾🐶🦴🐕‍🦺 I have worked in the medical field for 10+ years. I’m currently working from home due to covid/after Covid, so my days are very flexible and I should always be home and free when needed! Very FLEXIBLE SCHEDULE! 👍😊 I have a open back field and long leashes for dog to be attached too so they can’t go too far :) , also have a larger play pen. Our home is IMMACULATE, AND super clean! Floors are always VACUUMED (NUMEROUS times a day,can't ever be SAFE enough, especially with the curious ones).we have a smoke free home and use all natural cleaning supplies. I can honestly say OUR FUR BABIES ARE ALL LIKE FAMILY MEMBERS, AND BEYOND SPOILED! I WILL TREAT YOURS, JUST LIKE ONE OF MY OWN. 🐕‍🦺🦴👍🐾

Information Kristen D. would like to know about your pet

-Potty routine. -Any medical issues or concerns. -any behaviorial issues -Things that might frighten or make your pup uncomfortable. -Knowledge of their temperament, daily routine(eating times, bathroom times,etc). -Any special needs(such a Pee-Pee pads, medications). -i also Like to always know if a dog is crate trained, has issues with other dogs, and some knowledge of their "USUAL" surroundings/home life.... I never wanna allow a dog to do ANYTHING here that it is NOT allowed to do at home.... For example... Be on furniture/couch/bed etc.

A typical day

Walks, short hikes(depending on dogs personality, or your personal preference. We have MILLIONS of dogs toys... Stuffies, squeakers, Kongs (of all size), tons of HIGH END blue buffalo doggie treats. We love taking walks through the paths up on UMass Campus, which is DIRECTLY ACROSS the street from house. We also have A HUGE FIELD in front and back yard, where they can play and or be walked for "potty" purposes. I am very active myself, so any fresh air and exercise I can get, I won't pass up! Your pup WONT want to leave, as Many haven't, and TRULY HAVE A BLAST HERE.
