I prefer to spend time with your pets as much as possible, to help give them the socialization they need so they aren't left alone while they wait for their favorite people to come back :) I focus on making sure to keep into their set schedule as much as possible. Have a set time your fluffy friend needs to eat that never changes? Does your pet need to take multiple walks a day? My schedule is very flexible and it is my priority to keep their lives as unchanged as possible.

Safety, trust & environment
I keep pets as normal in their routine as possible so they don't feel out of sorts until their people come home! I am more than comfortable dealing with crated, uncrated, specific behaviors of pets, and more. I make sure that their food and water intake is exactly how you specify, and that they get plenty of love and exercise.
Information Kristen D. would like to know about your pet
Most important for me is just to know what's usual for your pet, and what's unusual. Are they shy to strangers? Do they have strange eating habits? No amount of detail is too much detail, so I am always going to be happy with whatever information about their personality and habits as you're able to give me.
A typical day
I love to take dogs on hikes- they get to really experience unique parts of their environment, and also get the chance to smell other dogs that came before without being near them, which is great for pets that don't have a lot of socialization with other animals. It's also a great way to work on behaviors in different environments!

Pet care experience
Hi! I'm Kristen, a historical archaeology student at UMass Boston! Animals, history, and creative activities are my life. I have grown up with animals in my house my entire life- from rescue dogs, to cats, to hedgehogs, birds and rabbits, there are very few animals that I haven't gotten to play with. I would love to help you give your fur baby the best life possible by making sure they get the exercise they need, they get to socialize, and let them explore the environment around them. I have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes- from Pugs to Newfoundlands, so I'm no stranger to large dogs and what they might need, and how that would differ from a smaller dog. I'd love to help you be the best owner you can be! I also have experience with multiple different livestock animals, from chicken and geese to donkeys. My goal is to own my own rescue farm one day, so special circumstance animals are something I am very comfortable doing.

Reviews
Kristen is fantastic! My dogs just adore her and she's a delight to work with. We got texts and pictures everyday we were gone, and the dogs were exhausted by the time we returned. We feel very lucky to have found Kristen and look forward to having her over again!
Kristen was absolutely wonderful watching Rosie for me. Not only did she provide me with daily updates, she also communicated very well with me! She definitely took the stress and anxiety off of being away from my fur baby! I will 100% be using her in the future! Also, she is very sweet and even cleaned my house for me!
