Highlights
Pet care experience
Family to care for your pooch
Caring for your dog is our top priority. I grew up with a golden retriever and then spent time volunteering with RAGOM (Retrieve a Golden of the Midwest). While with RAGOM I helped foster dogs and managed the hotline calls. Eventually I adopted a beautiful golden of my own. He’s since passed away and I haven't adopted another one yet, so I’m happy to watch your pooch. All pups are loved by my two children and carefully attended to by mom.

Ratings and reviews
Kirsten and family were fantastic! Our dog was well cared for and loved in their home. Appreciated regular check-in and Photo updates.
Thank you so much for watching Tonka! He had an absolute blast — he came home, flopped over like he had just run a triathlon, and then gave me that “I had the best day ever” look. It’s obvious he adored hanging out with you and your family. The Best. Honestly, you were super awesome with him, and I’d happily recommend your dog‑watching superpowers to anyone who needs a reliable, fun, and all‑around amazing sitter. Tonka is already lobbying for his next “vacation” at your place.
Kirsten always takes such great care of our pup. Her flexibility around scheduling makes boarding our dog stress-free and we know the dog is happy with her favorite sitter. Thank you!
Kirsten is amazing. Our dog, Gus, has stayed with her 3 times while we have been away for weekend trips. He gets TONS of attention, love, and exercise. Kirsten also sends lots of pictures and updates. It gives me so much peace of mind to know Gus is in great hands when we're away.
Kirsten is amazing. She made me comfortable leaving my Bella for a weekend and doted on Bella the whole time. Will definitely use again.
Outstanding. Wouldn’t hesitate to book Kirsten again. Grateful to have found her. She went above and beyond. Max enjoyed his stay in their lovely home and was very well cared for.

Schedule
We currently have no dog of our own so dog sitting gives us a way to interact with a variety of animals. I often have a work from home schedule during the week so there is almost always someone at home with your pooch.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My middle-school and high school age kids are ready to help with feeding, walking, playing fetch and scooping up the doggie doo! We make sure to care for only one Rover family at a time so that your pooch gets one-on-one attention. I don't have a fenced in yard, but I like walking dogs and can take them on the leash around the nearby lake. I have a doggie bed ready for your pooch and I also have wooden floors on the main level so I don't have to worry about any accidents or mud - easy clean up. If you have a senior dog or just one that doesn't like stairs I can put a baby gate up to keep them on the main level.
A typical day
I like to go for walks, play fetch ang tug-of-war. I’m happy to have a companion while working and a reason to get out for a walk every day! When any pet is here, I try to keep on schedule with their normal routine as closely as I can.
