Kristen Gonzalez (Gildea)
Owner & CEO
Starting at the young age of 2, I grew up in a very pet-friendly household with bunnies, cats, dogs, and fish. I was always that kid coming home with stray or sick animals that needed help — my parents LOVED that! Between high school and college I held several positions on horse farms, took on many pet sitting clients, dog walking partners, and worked at Tufts University in the Large Animal hospital.
I graduated from Becker College in 2014 with a Bachelor of Science in Veterinary Science and a minor in Business Management. After college I pursued a professional career in the biotech industry for 5 years, putting my passion aside as a hobby. In July 2019 I left the corporate world to become a full-time animal caretaker once again!
Away from my clients, I'm a full-time mom to my three girls (6 months, 3, and 12), a wife, and pet mom to an American Staffordshire Terrier named Meatball, a Pitbull mix named Cannoli, and an off-the-track thoroughbred named Daisy.
