I have always had a passion for animals. I've had many different pets: dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, fish, smaller mammals such as bunnies, etc. I volunteered at animal shelters throughout middle school and high school. I have two dogs myself, a German Shepherd and a German Shepherd/Lab mix. I also have a snake. I began pet sitting when I was a teen, including caring for 4+ dogs at one time, while also house-sitting. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages. I am confident in my ability to care for any animal due to the knowledge I gained from owning so many and my experience caring for them throughout the years. I am currently a nanny for a family who owns two dogs, which I provide care for. My hours are part-time at the moment, so I am available throughout the day/evening and on weekends. I pride myself on being punctual, reliable, and taking the necessary time to make sure your pets are comfortable, well cared for, and happy.

Kristen regularly watched our two children for almost five years, and we were so blessed to have her! She was incredibly reliable. In fact, over those five years, I don't believe she called out of work once, despite our ever-changing busy schedules. More importantly, she truly cared about our kids. She was so patient with them and attentive to their needs. Kristen also helped with our two crazy dogs, did chores such as laundry and cleaning, and ran errands for us. She made our life in Delaware with young children run so much more smoothly! I cannot recommend her highly enough!
