Flexible Cat and Dog Sitter!!

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Kristen! I’m currently a graduate student at UMASS Amherst and I'm looking for a pet service provider position in Hadley/Amherst, Massachusetts. I promise to be wonderful, skillful candidate. Flexible scheduling for clients. I have experience with animal feeding and administering medication. I have owned cats and dogs throughout my life growing up. I have cared for my neighbors and grandparents cats since I was 10. I have had a family dog since I was 14 and have helped my family with his care throughout the years. My animals do not currently live with me! They both live with my parents in New York. My roommate does have a cat and I often help out with her care. *Please note that on Fridays, I am only available after 6pm.

Kristen’s positive attitude makes everything smooth despite our petulant pup’s skittish demeanor on her first watch. We are grateful for her excellent questions, level thinking and obvious love in caring for animals of varying moods.

Great to work with! She sent many pictures of my dog being very comfortable with her, when my dog is normally shy.

Kristen has stayed with our two dogs in our home and also provided last minute dog-walking for us for two weeks. She is fantastic! Our dogs rush to the door when they hear her and our old boy asks her to stay for extra hugs before she leaves. During the week+ when she stayed in our home while we traveled, we had complete peace of mind — she posted photos and checked in with texts and the dogs looked great. One day our old boy slipped and was sore for a bit, and she let us know immediately and stayed with him until he was better. On top of being great with the dogs, she is bright and energetic and has excellent judgment, so a joy for the humans to work with, too.

Kristen took wonderful care of our two dogs and her low-key manner immediately put them at ease. We recommend her highly and will ask her first for her availability next time we need to travel without our pups.
