Pet care experience

I am an ABC Certified Dog Obedience Instructor. I have managed a luxury doggie daycare in Corpus Christi, Texas with up to 45 off-leash dogs at a time. I have certifications in Pet CPR and First Aid, Canine Body Language, and Pack Behavior. I have my own dog training business (DoggoneSmartiePaws.Com) with excellent reviews from clients. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and breeds; from German Shepherds to chihuahuas. With the knowledge I’ve received through studying for each of my certifications, dog training, and managing a dog daycare, I can guarantee that your pet will be in great hands. Updates and pictures available to you.

Kiirsten provided multiple drop-in visits for my two dogs and I appreciated receiving updates and knowing they were being checked on and well cared for while I was away. Thank you, Kiirsten!

I booked Kiirsten for 4 walks over two days. Was very responsive to any questions I had and made sure my dog was well taken care of. Couldn’t recommend enough!

Kiirsten is great! She was available for a meet and greet to say hello to my pup before her drop in the next day and provided pictures of Hazel every time she popped in to put my mind at ease! She even wrote little notes to me to let me know how the drop in visit was and followed all the instructions to a tee! She is super friendly and I would recommend!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
