I'll love your dog like my own!!!

Pet care experience

I LOVE animals and have been working with them since 1999. I have done almost every job you can do with dogs and have experience with cats and most other small animals as well. I worked in a vet's office as an assistant-in-training for 5 years, worked as a pet bather for over 10years, worked in a doggie daycare, over 10 years of experience dog walking and pet sitting, and I have been a dog trainer since 2007. I look forward to helping you and your loving non-human family members with anything you need! My prices vary greatly depending on what services you need (for example I charge less for dog walking than I do for dog training). When caring for your dog I will treat them with the same care and attention that I do my own!!!

It was so great having Kirsten watch Boone! He was so happy to have a visitor to check on him while he was resting from a snake bite at home, and we loved the pictures and updates from her!

Kirsten was great with our Maximilian. She took care of our dog as if he was part if her own family. She thought him a great deal of self control and he was happy to be there. She is very atteentive with him. I will always refer anyone who needs their doggy watched to Kirsten. She is an awesome trainer and is one of the friendliest people you will ever meet!

Kirsten has helped us with our dogs for a few different issues. Our border collie mix annoyed the heck out of me when he would try to herd me as I walked from the bedroom to the kitchen. I feared that he would trip me as I started down the stairs. No amount of yelling at him had any effect. Kirsten showed me a way to train him with kindness that also resolved the problem. The other major help we received from her was when we walked our 2 dogs. They both pulled on the leashes. It seemed that they were walking us when we were supposed to be in charge. Again, Kirsten trained us how to modify our behavior which in turn changed how they behaved on leash. It has been particularly helpful to learn from her about the thinking behind the behavior of the dogs so that we can better understand why what we've been doing doesn't work and the reasoning behind why her methods work so well. She is very patient with us.

Kirsten transformed my relationship with my dog. She is the most responsible dog trainer and dog sitter I have ever had. She actually watched my dog for me for an entire year while I was out of the country. My dog loves Kirsten. They bonded instantly. She also helped me get my dog CGC certified and a certified therapy dog. Kirsten is a gem of a dog sitter. He home is an ideal lovely home for a dog. I highly recommend her.
