Retired Profess...Flexible Schedule
I have found that dogs prefer to be in their own envirement when their owner's are away, so most of my jobs are from repeat clients and referrals for in home stays. Your pet stays in their own environment which is less stressful. As requested by you, we go on walks, mini hikes, car rides, sleep in bed with them, just lounge and watch TV, administer special diets or medicines, drop off at another relative, etc. I am flexible. Your house stays safe with someone home, mail and newspapers picked up, etc. One client always has contractors over for their large remodel. I first became a dog sitter for my 2 grandpups, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels a boy and a girl. My daughter may be the most demaning, pickiest, list of rules person in the world. Her dogs are her children and I know yours are too. So please if you feel bad about leaving them, if you have a weird request I will understand. Since I am semi-retired I have more flexibility as well. I have had dogs who needed me to sit on the floor with them while they eat, want to sleep in same bed as me, constantly want to sit on my lap or next to me. I understand the power of treats, their special toys and love! It's stressful when the owners are away, but I am here to fill that void. Rest assured, I can send you updates as needed. Whether it's a daily overview from the visits on email, quick text and/or picture from the visit, quick phone call, just let me know. If you need to meet up prior to engagement we can, If you have a longer term request we can work out a discount as well. Let me know how I can help you out and make this less stressful for you and your loved one!

Ratings and reviews
Kerstin gave our 2 large dogs and 1 cat attention, dinner, and potty breaks. Since this was our first sit for us, she took in all the instructions and did not seem to have any troubles. She also gets kudos for finding our home which is off the beaten path. We would contact her to sit again in the future.
Kerstin had a nice overnight stay with Sadie. The house was immaculate when I returned home, and Sadie was a happy girl. I know she had lots of attention and snuggles! I would definitely use Kerstin again.
I cannot recommend Kerstin enough! When I needed someone last minute to watch my dog and two cats, she didn’t hesitate and even drove an hour and a half for a meet and greet beforehand, which showed me right away how dedicated and professional she is. Kerstin was so warm, personable, and a great communicator throughout the entire stay. When I got home, she had left flowers and a card thanking me for trusting her with my fur children. She truly goes above and beyond and I would recommend her to anyone!
Kerstin was precious. I had never left my pets with anyone other than family so I was incredibly nervous. Kerstin just put us at ease. The pets loved her. She was very respectful of our home and treated the pets with such kindness. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.
Kerstin was great, we would definitely recommend her! We were given detailed updates and pictures and we came back to two happy dogs!
Kerstin is amazing! She took such great care of our miniature poodle! Our pup is a bit reserved, and Kerstin knows how to create rapport and trust VERY quickly. Our pup was cuddling with Kerstin within an hour of her arrival. Kerstin provided daily updates with photos and played all the games we outlined, as well as everything else we asked. We will definitely use Kerstin in the future. She is truly spectacular!
