Highlights
Pet care experience
Purfect pet care, just for you!
I have grown up with all kinds of animals during my life. I mastered hands-on care for dogs, cats, many species of reptiles, small mammals, livestock, and birds. I am someone you can trust to keep your pets safe and loved while you’re away. I have experience with special needs pets and seniors. I currently have a total of 5 pets! I have two large breed dogs and three cats. For almost a year I worked for a doggy daycare as a canine coach! I started off as a playroom attendant where I cared for and monitored a room of sometimes up to 45 dogs in an open-play environment. Through the months I promoted to something called a Rover! I was a Rover and I also pet-sit through Rover! As a Rover I aided the playroom attendants by assisting in tough situations, bringing supplies, and retrieving potentially injured pups who may need medical intervention. I applied first aid to dogs, care for the overnight boarding pups during closed hours (feeding, medicine administration, potty breaks, and crating for the night), and operated the facility spa where I gave baths including blow drying, brush outs, nail trims, ear cleaning, blueberry facials, and teeth brushing. I am super dedicated to the care and well-being of all types of pets.

Ratings and reviews
Kirsten is the best. Great communication and takes care of the pups like they're her own.
Kirsten is wonderful! I love how she sends updates, pictures, and videos to let us know how our pup is doing. Thank you again! See you next time!
Great to work with
Thank you for taking such great care of my dog! It gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. He came home happy and well cared for. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter, and we will definitely be using them again! 🐾
Second time leaving Allie with Kirsten and as always she takes great care of our dog. Thanks Kirsten!
Kirsten was sooo great with our energetic playful pup! She sent us pictures and updates which really helped us since it was our first time being away from our girl. She took great care of May and you could tell is very well experienced in handling new pups and introducing them to other pups!

Schedule
I have recently transitioned to being a stay at home mom and petsitting full-time. This allows me to be home with your pets for most of the hours in a day. I believe my clients should receive the highest quality of care and my consistent presence helps me to accomplish this. My husband works full time during the day but is also able to help mentally stimulate and monitor any boarders in the afternoons and weekends when he is home. What pup wouldn’t love double the attention? Please arrive at drop-off and pick-ups at the scheduled times agreed upon in the booking itinerary. If something comes up that will require a late arrival, a timely notice is expected. If you are more than an hour late to pick-up, a late fee of 1/2 a nights stay will be issued.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a privacy fence in my backyard and a chain link fence in my front yard for your pups to enjoy. Although I do have three dogs of my own, our pups will never be left unsupervised. If your pup enjoys interacting with other furry friends, I can arrange a slow introduction with my pups. If your pup prefers their own space and isn’t a big fan of other pups, I can make that work as well through rotation and separation. If you prefer your pup to be cared for in your home, I can provide leashed strolls around your neighborhood if that’s what you desire! Any male dogs who are observed to mark their territory in the house during their stay may be required to wear a belly band (male diaper) while inside. A tinkle here and there is entirely normal, especially for male pups, and that would not be grounds to wear a belly band. Belly bands are used on excessive markers. I have two resident kitties. ALL DOG BOARDERS MUST BE CAT FRIENDLY! I do not require cats to be dog or cat friendly due to my ability to separate using my spare bedroom. For any dogs that I provide care to for a minimum of three consecutive nights, I can provide a complementary spa session (bath, brush, blow dry, nail trim/dremmel, deshedding, detangling) if you agree to it and if the dog is tolerant to it. De-matting is not a service I provide. I use groomer grade tools and products. If you would like the spa service, please request it during the booking process so that I can plan for it’s completion accordingly.

A typical day
If your pup has a high drive, best believe I will make sure they get all of that energy out! If your pup is older and enjoys slower strolls, that works too! My goal is to make this the most positive experience for your pet. I definitely try to cater to all individual needs and personalities. We get a wide range of energy levels and personalities!
