Animal lover & great petsitter!
Pet care experience
I can provide pet sitting and care for your fur babies! I love being around all breeds, sizes, and ages of dogs and cats. I have been around pets my entire life, especially dogs and cats. I have always grown up with a dog in my home and spent much of my time in high school volunteering at my local animal shelter, so I have experience taking care of dogs of all sizes and ages. When it comes to taking care of dogs, I have experience not only taking basic care of them (like feeding and watering, playing fetch and frisbee, going for walks, cuddling, etc.), but I also have experience with brushing them and giving baths, trimming their nails, brushing their teeth, as well as training them using basic commands. When it comes to cats, I know they’re each their own unique personality. I transitioned from a dog to cat owner just a few years ago, when a stray orange cat chose me as her owner, and the rest has been history. I’m not sure how I’d gone so long without a cat in my life, but I’m sure glad to be around them all the time! I would love to be able to help care for your pets while you're not at home. I can't think of a better job than being able to care your furry family member!
About Kiersten W.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am flexible to whatever my client needs, but at the very least, I keep a close eye on the pets left to my care. If my client wants their pet on a leash, even in a fenced in space, then that is what I’ll do. If your pet is crate-trained, I’m happy to ensure that they’re securely back in their crate before I leave. I am diligent and observant when it comes to the safety of the animals I’m entrusted with.
Information Kiersten W. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know what pets and breed(s) you have, and what kind of personality they have! I love getting to meet new animals and to get know them.
A typical day
If I am checking in on dogs, I make sure that they use the restroom first and foremost when I arrive. And once business is done, I like to spend at least 30 min getting them to play and be active, in addition to giving them affection and pets. For cats, the first thing I always check on is their litter boxes, and just like with dogs, spend my time trying to play with them and give affection (if they’ll let me give it to them). I always make sure water and food is also sufficient before leaving, because pets need to stay hydrated and well-fed!

I currently work full-time, with a pretty long commute to and from my job, but my weekends are free, and could be able to do evening check-ins on occasion!
