Safety, trust & environment

We have a house with a small fenced yard in the back. We live on a quiet street and always take precautions when opening the door or leaving for walks. This also applies to pet care at your home or dog walking. I have lots of experience with different leads and leashes and always make sure pups are secure before doors are opened to the outside.

Information Kristin H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there are any special things I should know about your pet regarding their food or feeding habits, interactions with humans or other animals, or if they have any triggers. Happy to accommodate!

A typical day

A typical day would begin with a long walk in the morning with or without our own pup (depending on the sitting location). Next would be breakfast, followed by some play time. Other activities during the day would include more walks, visiting a dog park if allowed, and coming along to any fun dog-friendly locations around town!

Pet care experience

Hello! I am a resident physician here in Boston who adores all dogs and other animals. My partner and I have owned our dog for almost 5 years, and we always love having another pup around. Although I have a busy schedule, I often have lighter weeks at a time when I can care for your fur-baby, and my partner works from home occasionally. Please reach out for any of your pet care needs!

Kristin was great. She looked after our bulldog Kevin for 2 weeks over Christmas and was communicative throughout. Kevin had a great time. Kevin will stay Kristin in future for sure!

Kristin was fantastic with our dog Oscar. When he had some tummy trouble, she took great care of him and kept us updated throughout. We would happily have Oscar stay with Kristin and her partner any time.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
