Brighton sitter avail for holiday!

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Kristin! I offer sitting, boarding, and drop-ins in your home in the Brighton/Newton/Brookline/Boston area, and boarding is available in my home in Brighton if your dog is 40 lbs or less! I've been dog sitting in my free time for over ten years and have been living in Boston for almost two years. I'm currently a graduate student at Boston University - spending time with wonderful dogs on the weekends is my favorite hobby because it keeps me active and it's always fun. Your dog will get tons of love and exercise during our time together. Can’t wait to meet you and your furry loved ones! On weekdays I'm available in the mornings and nights and on weekends I’m available full time for drop-ins, overnight house sitting, and boarding. My second floor apartment is spacious, has hardwood floors and comfy couches, and is very neat.

Kristin is great. I got frequent photos of Ziggy and updates each day. She's very organized and gave him plenty of exercise. Ziggy came home very happy! Can't say enough great things about Kristin!

Kristin is SO. GREAT. She has now taken care of our pit mix Clarke and even our cat many times, and she is always our first choice when we need a sitter! Our dog can definitely be challenging, but Kristin is totally comfortable handling our energetic, dog-reactive, and very squirrel-motivated pittie. She is also comfortable using a no-pull head halter, keeping him away from other dogs, and keeping up with our training and reactivity techniques. She has dealt with Clarke's paw-pad injuries, couch chewing, cat chasing, and general annoying behavior very admirably! We always get tons of pictures, and she always gets in touch with us immediately if there is a problem or if she has a question. Kristin is incredibly accommodating, and even came through for us in a last-minute emergency recently. Looking forward to working with Kristin again and again!

Information Kristin M. would like to know about your pet

All breeds and ages are welcome! I personally prefer medium to small sized dogs, but also have experience caring for larger breeds like pit bulls. I tend to ask a lot of questions and take notes during Meet & Greets - Does your dog have any anxiety around strangers or other dogs? Do they have any allergies to food or grasses?

A typical day

When I'm caring for your pets, I love to go for walks and jogs, around my neighborhood or spend time sitting outside with a coffee to enjoy the weather.
