Professional Puppy Snuggler

Pet care experience

Looking for a trustworthy pet sitter? I am a former professional dog walker in the Boston area with training experience comfortable with dogs (and cats) of all ages and sizes. I own my own business, so visiting puppies can come to work with me every day and don't have to sit at home alone. :) My boyfriend and I have a 2 year old puppy (Radar), who is an adorable 60lb cuddlebug that loves to play with other dogs. I also have a sweet tuxedo cat (Kitters) who I must say is very tolerable of other pets in her home. Radar is only with me occasionally so if you opt for overnight care at my home, let me know whether you’d prefer to have him there or not. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies!

This was the first time leaving my dog with Kristin, but definitely won't be my last. She rocks! It's hard for me to leave Lucy behind when I travel, but Kristin made me feel more comfortable and confident that Lucy was happy and safe than any dog sitter or kennel I've ever used, and I've had dogs since 1994. She was super quick to respond to all of my messages and sent lots of updates and photos while I was away. She is intuitive, obviously loves animals, and makes their needs her top priority. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!

Kristin took such great care of Dakota! She updated us regularly with photos and was very accommodating with our schedules. Dakota had a blast playing with Radar and running around the dog park, she's still wiped out!

Kristin has a profound love for all dogs, and never passes on a challenge! She has personally taken care of my lab, Gator, nearly a dozen times. Even better, she is always willing to help out, even when given late notice. Rest assured because Kristin will take fantastic care of your pooch and provide you with fantastic service along the way.

Kristin is one of the most dependable, trustworthy people I have ever met. She has watched our cats for us many times over the years and I always feel so much better while away on trips knowing that our pets are in such capable hands. Kristin loves animals and has a gentle, empathic touch that makes even our grouchiest kitty love her. I can't recommend her enough!

Information Kristin K. would like to know about your pet

Aside from knowing age, type, size, and general temperament, I’d love know how your puppy does on a leash, especially when encountering other dogs or strangers who want to pet him/her. Any other information about particular behaviors and favorite toys would also be great!

A typical day

I live close to the dog park at Northeast park and enjoy walks and light jogs in the morning. Depending on the dog, I might even be able to take him or her to work with me!
