Small Pet Boarding (Pet Sitter)
Description
I'm Krissy and I'd love to take care of your loved pet while you're away!
I offer a Small Animal/Lizard/Bird/Fish boarding service in my well-kept home in Dartmouth, conveniently located just off of Main Street. Sorry, no cats or dogs at this time.
ABOUT ME:
I'm a casual nurse and an experienced dog-walker/pet-sitter with a passion for animals. I've taken care of cats (some with medical needs), rats, guinea pigs, hamsters, geckos, bunnies, fish and dogs. I'm open to learning how to take care of other animals and tailoring my care to any specific medical needs. Pets boarding with me get a lot of attention. I presently have a super cute gecko, Splashpants, living with me, and I just got a kitten, Sprite. I have a room off our main living area that I now use for visiting pets to stay unpestered by Sprite.
ABOUT MY SERVICES:
Small Pet Boarding: $15 per night (minimum 2 night stay).
Extra $5/night per extra cage/pet
When inquiring for services, please tell me about your pet, what their daily needs are, and requested boarding dates. Bring your pet’s living necessities on drop-off day (food, bedding (if needing a cage cleaning while staying), treats, cage/tank, any medications, etc.) I generally clean cages with a half-water/half-vinegar solution.
Drop me a line if you have any specific questions and I'll be happy to get back to you.

She gave the best care for our rabbit, while I was on vacation with my family for 2 weeks. She sent us updates daily and I would recommend her to anyone with a small pet. I would also use her to watch my baby again. Thanks for the great care !

Krissy took care of my two Netherland Dwarf rabbits for 3 weeks while I was away for Christmas holidays. I cannot recommend her enough! She provided multiple daily updates with pictures and videos of my bunnies. She followed all my instructions regarding their care. She was very flexible when my flights got delayed because of weather and was able to keep them for a few extra nights. I felt very content knowing they were with Krissy and I wouldn’t hesitate to have her care for them again. A wonderful experience and my bunnies are very happy and well cared for after their 3 weeks with Krissy!

This past weekend Krissy has looked after our bunny, Gavin for the first time. I can honestly say she is absolutely wonderful. She is very caring and obviously loves the animals she has in her care.
We got daily photos, videos and messages to let us know how Gavin was doing. This really was appreciated and put our mind at rest knowing that he was being taken of so well.
We will be 100% taking Gavin to Krissy in the future, and recommend her to anyone!!

Krissy took wonderful care of our guinea pig while we were away for 10 days. She sent us daily photos and videos. She fed him healthy snacks and took him out of the cage every day for cuddles. She was very responsive and an excellent communicator. Before we left, she even asked for a list of preferred vets in case something were to happen while we were away. I would recommend Krissy without hesitation.

Our two dogs thrived during their 1 week stay with Krissy. They were healthy and happy and had lots of adventures at the beach and parks. She loves animals and has a nice touch especially with our two little rescue dogs and their quirks. We’ll take them there anytime!!!

As an owner of two guinea pigs and it being my first time using a pet sitter, Krissy was a perfect match for my pets. She has a wonderful personality. She is eager and excited to take care of your pets and learn about their specific needs. Each day she gives you little updates on how your pets are doing with photos and videos. I couldn't be happier with my experience and will use her services again in the future.

Krissy looked after my two dogs for two nights, and between all the pictures of them going for walks and to the park, I can tell they had a great time!
She was easy to get in touch with, kept me up to speed with how the dogs were doing, and very obviously have them lots of love and affection.
I wouldn't hesitate to use her services again. 5 star review!

Definitely would recommend Krissy! She looked after my kitty, Zelda, for a week and sent me photos/videos of her everyday so I knew she was happy. Krissy was extremely accommodating to Zelda’s needs and I could not find anyone more kind to look after her. I didn’t worry at any point during my trip because I was confident she was in good hands as I would be if anyone else used her as a sitter. She will be my go to for any further trips I may take!

We highly recommend Krissy! She took care of our 4 year old lab/Dalmatian mix for 3 nights when we were away. He is a high energy dog with a bit of a mischievous streak and they got along like the best of friends. She responds quickly and sent us photo and video updates while we were away. We already have her booked for our next trip!

Krissy not only cared for my cat while I was away but was solely responsible for tending to his diabetes. Krissy showed Peanut lots of love and ensured that he received his bi-daily, scheduled feedings and insulin doses. She sent me (picture and text) updates throughout the weeks so I knew everything was going well. I was not at all worried about my cat's wellbeing while he was in her care. Krissy was also a joy to have around the house. She got along very well with my roommate and all house visitors while I was gone... in fact, my roommate and Peanut were disappointed when I arrived because they missed Krissy so much! 10 out of 10.

Krissy checks in on my senior Beagle (Elmer) when I am working long hours. She is always very mindful of his needs-especially in the current heat wave-and as she is an RN I trust he is in good hands.
Her love of animals is very apparent so when Krissy checks in on him it’s nice to know he isn’t just going out for a pee-he is getting a visit with his friend.

We were a bit nervous about using someone online we hadn't met, and needed them to stay at our house for four days. The minute we met with Krissy we knew we could trust her., and we couldn't be happier with how she looked after our Buster and our home. She went above and beyond our expectations, and honestly, treated Buster better than we do! We got pictures and updates while we were away and made our vacation that much better, not worrying about Buster! We would highly recommend Krissy!

Krissy is one of the kindest, friendliest people I've ever met. She is trust-worthy and will keep your pet safe while engaging with them all along. Definitely recommend.
