Your furbabies new favorite auntie!

Pet care experience

Currently, I work from home 3 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 on the soccer field with my 14 year old daughter. 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. Every one has since referred to me as their pet’s auntie, which I don’t mind at all!

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.

Information Kristen D. would like to know about your pet

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.

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!

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!
