Any special instructions for feeding or medical needs should be provided. Behavioral tips will also be appreciated so the best care can be provided in a controlled manner. Is your dog people and pet friendly? What is their favorite treat?

Certified Dog Obedience Instructor.

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.

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 an identity verification. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
