Pet care experience

Respectful and loving pet sitting!

I've lived with dogs my whole life and am a dog owner at my core! I so love caring for pets, providing for them and being their biggest advocate. When our pets are happy, we're happy :) I work from home in Prior Lake as a Graphic Designer and have a lot of flexibility with my job. I'm dog mom to our Great Pyrenees and I know a lot about senior care, medication administration, general communication and body language knowledge, walking and leash training. We're open to boarding well-socialized pups in our home, but they must be respectful of our older resident dog. They can enjoy the large, shaded back yard together on secure leads as we have an unfenced yard. We also have chickens (who are securely fenced in their own area!)

Highly recommend. Kerstie house and pet sat for our dog and high maintenance senior cat for almost two weeks. She kept us informed with pics and just the right amount of emails. Most importantly, she is clearly very capable and we felt comfortable leaving knowing she could handle any situation that might arise.

Kerstie was incredibly patient, responsive, and caring. She kept the house clean, provided wonderful updates, and was especially comforting with our elderly, anxious dog. We truly felt at ease being away, knowing she was there taking such great care of them.

Kerstie stayed at our house for a week to watch our two dogs, and we’re so glad we chose her! She took amazing care of them and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Not only was she wonderful with our dogs, but she also kept our home clean and well cared for. We highly recommend Kerstie and will definitely be using her again!

Doggy Day Care • Jan 13, 2026

Kerstie treats Oreo like family and Aurora is the sweetest possible host. I know he is comfortable, relaxed and well cared for when he is there. When I round the corner toward their house, he paces and whines with anticipation of getting to snuggle and see his fur-iend. Thanks for being so welcoming!

A typical day

I love spending time with dogs doing the things that they love to do! So if they like going on an adventure in the car to a nearby park or a familiar walk in their neighborhood, I'm along for whatever they like best. We can snuggle on the couch or play ball!
