Pet care experience

Your furbabies new favorite auntie!

Currently, I work from home 2 days a week. I spend most of my time with my dog Diamond aka Honey Bunny and my cat Sweetie aka Sweet Girl. When I am not with them, I am either in the office, or outside enjoying the weather. On weekends, me and honey bunny will go to the park since playing fetch is her favorite thing in this whole wide world and watching her enjoy her best life is one of my greatest gifts! I am a 30 something, single working professional. I have been an animal lover my entire life and caring for them since I was 5. I was raised with both cats and dogs and have adopted/rescued many of my own throughout my adult life. Loving on and caring for animals gives me a huge sense of purpose. My literal goal in adult life is to work towards owning a piece of land that will be big enough for me to start my own rescue. I have always been the go-to for my circle to dog/cat/house sit because animals seem to just flock to me. I come with strong references and prefer to build relationships with the fur babies to eventually become a permanent fixture in each others lives. Every one has since referred to me as their pet’s auntie, which I don’t mind at all!

House Sitting • Jun 10, 2024

Kristen is FANTASTIC. She worked together with me to get to know my dogs, and they were very comfortable with her right away. She took great are of them, walks, fed all meals, and the house was spotless when I got back. I’m so appreciative of her open communication, it felt like chatting with a friend.

She showed up on time and seemed to keep a smile on our dog. We loved the pictures. Our house was in great shape upon our return home.

I’m writing this to say that Kristen Derbin is very caring and good with animals. She’s grown up with dogs and cats her whole life

Kristen has been taking care and loving all the babies for as long as I can remember. She understands that all of our pets are an extension of our family. Kristen’s love is pure and strong. She gives her all to all the fur babies. Anyone would be lucky to have the opportunity to have Kristen be a part of their fur babies life. I trust Kristen with everything, most importantly my own baby, Olive.

Kristen is an excellent sitter! Wether it be your babies or fur babies, you should know that no matter what she will always be there to care for them. Ever since I can remember she has loved animals and has wanted to be around them as much as possible, so if you’re ever looking for that person who is just looking to be around animals and give them love me maybe even as much as yourself; she is definitely that person you can trust to do anything!

Schedule

My availability is very open and flexible, and will also do over-nights when needed. Your pet will never go too long without a potty break, scheduled feeding/medication etc and I will treat your fur-baby as if they were my own and they will be spoiled with all the attention and play time they can handle!

Safety, trust & environment

I would prefer to care for your pets in your home as I feel they are more comfortable that way when their owners are gone but I am not opposed to bringing them to my home upon request and after a meet and greet with my baby, Diamond.

Pets

A typical day

I took an interest in dog training so learning new tricks or practicing old ones will be on the agenda if they show any interest. We will also check out the smells in the neighborhood and play a few doggy games that will stimulate their brain as well as provide some mental and physical exercise. If they enjoy hikes I am always up for finding a new trail to climb!

Requested information about your pet Important information to know about your pet before sitting is their feeding schedule (when/how much), what their normal daily schedule looks like (to make as little change as possible to their typical day), and contact information for your vet. I do not have any breed preferences as I love all cats and dogs. I do require a meet and greet before any service.
