I am more than happy to come take care of any animal after 5pm on Mondays-Thursdays. Sometimes earlier on Thursdays! Fridays I have completely free and would love to get out there and be active, giving me something to do which I love. My weekends are iffy, but do not hesitate to ask. I'm more than happy to work things out with you!

Safety, trust & environment

All animals will be cared for in whatever manner the owner(s) would like. I follow directions to a T. If there is ever something I am hesitant about or unsure of I will make sure to ask right at the beginning. I will not hesitate to ask questions or to contact in an emergency. These animals are not mine which makes me even more protective over them. Most of all, if they want it, the animals will get all the love they can ask for.

Information Kierstin S. would like to know about your pet

If the dog is good around: other dogs, high-stress situations (crowds of people), has any medical problems, and can swim/likes to swim. If there are any triggers -- I know a dog who doesn't mind loud noises but absolutely hates and cowers when you raise your arms up quickly.

A typical day

Walks on nature trails, hikes, around town, around the neighborhood. Let them sniff all the good stuff. Go swimming, hiking, running, play fetch, games, chill-out if it's nice out, play in the snow.

Pet care experience

I love every kind of animal and think they deserve the best treatment. I have had dogs and other animals in my life since I was born. I grew up with animals ranging from small rodents to reptiles, a rescued squirrel, to the normal dog and cat. They take up my entire heart. I have been taking care of other people's pets since I was a child. These animals include: dogs, cats, mice, hamsters, guinea pigs, chickens, alpacas, snakes, lizards, hissers, frogs, and bunnies. Family friends, neighbors, and family themselves come to me when they are in need of someone to watch their animals while they are gone. I have taken care of pets from daily check-ins to staying a week or more at their house. I would have no problem watching any animal for an extended period of time. I would not hesitate to take your dog with me where ever I went so they can get as much playtime and exercise as possible, unless of course they were a senior dog or special needs dog that must rest up a lot, or if you preferred otherwise!

Kierstin was great with our senior pup! Responsive to our booking request and came over ahead of time to meet our dog and understand what we were looking for. Would definitely recommend and book with Kierstin again!

Kierstin was great. She was flexible with my uncertain schedule, and took care of Luke just fine. He's a senior pooch, so isn't a fast-moving dog, but I felt she took that limitation into consideration. She asked me if taking him swimming was okay, and I said it was fine to take him, but he probably wouldn't swim. He just hung out. Luke's vacation went fine, he didn't seem out of sorts at all, and I was able to enjoy my homecoming activities w/o worrying about Luke.
