Caregiver for weekends & evenings
Pet care experience
I'm only available on weekends and evenings during the week. I work and live locally in Culpeper, but am willing to do some traveling. I have two cats, one who is elderly and keeps to herself, and another who is a year old and plays with my 2 year old puppy like he is a dog himself. My younger cat has been very respectful of my elderly cat as well. My puppy is a female lab/Shepard mix and is primarily submissive around other dogs and has graduated from her puppy training class. All of my animals are spayed/neutered. I have seen 4 of my pets through their senior years, and feel very comfortable helping with elderly and special needs pets. I can also provide basic training guidance if desired.
Reviews
Kirsten took care of our two dogs, cat and three horses and did a great job. She made us feel at ease knowing our pets were in good hands! I highly recommend Kirsten for all your pet sitting needs.
Kirsten is a natural. She has such love, care and compassion for all animals. Each year she watches my 3 dogs and African Grey. I have young and elderly dogs that she cares for in weekly spans, feeding, nurturing for, administering meds, bringing them to the vet and communicating with me and the vet when there are concerns. I my dogs and bird love her and always looks forward to her visits.

Safety, trust & environment
Upon making an appointment with me, we will schedule to meet and review the needs of your pet. I would prefer that any specific instructions for food and medicine be written down, but if it is not provided, I will make notes during our meeting. During my visits with your pets, I make a point to give each animal some individual time and attention while I perform my services. I treat all fur babies as I do my own, and I know that I hate to think they would feel lonely while I was away. I always clean up behind myself before I leave so nothing is out of place when you return.
Information Kirsten M. would like to know about your pet
Let me know the age, temperament, and specific care needs for your baby, and I will make sure they are well taken care of. If they require specific feeding and medication instructions, I would request you leave a note with written instructions specifying their needs.
A typical day
We have a big open field for a back yard with a small creek through it. Your dog will enjoy trips to the park and play sessions with my 2 year puppy. I can administer medications, give baths, clip nails, brush teeth, and take out for potty break as often as your baby needs.
Services
Kirsten can watch in your home
Availability
I'm currently working full time, mostly from home. I can do drop-ins before 7:30am and after 4pm. If you are close by, I could potentially do something around lunch time if needed. On the weekends, I am available and willing to come by any time.
