I work for a school district which leaves me with an ample amount of free time! I am available all day on the weekends as well as in the afternoon/evening on weekdays. I also get all federal holidays off and have several week-multi week long breaks throughout the year (e.g. winter break, spring break, summer break) where I am available. I’d love to meet you and your pet and help out whenever I can! Current availability: Saturday/Sunday: 8:00am-10:00pm; Monday-Friday: 3:00pm-10:00pm (Message me for special requests)

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is my main priority while caring for your pets. I will be mindful of all gates and doors to ensure that no pets can escape. I will see that all collars and harnesses are properly fitted for our walks. Please let me know of any special diets/behavioral issues so I can make sure to provide your pet with the best care to fit their needs.

Information Kirsten B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any specific needs/diets/behaviors that I can cater to. What are their favorite treats/games/activities? Do they get along well with other animals? I have a ton of experience with large dogs, so their size doesn’t intimidate me.

A typical day

I look forward to keeping your dog active and stimulated! We will play all their favorite games and explore all of the neighborhood smells. I love taking dogs to the park or the beach as well and I will never say no to a good ol doggy cuddle. My 100 pound dog swore she was a lap dog :)

Reliable/Enthusiastic Animal Lover

Pet care experience

I have been caring for and loving animals my entire life! Aside from caring for my own pets, my neighbors and friends have also relied on me to look after, walk, and feed their pets. Whether your pet is high energy and loves long walks/endless rounds of fetch or more laid back and just needs cuddles and potty breaks, I am more than happy to help! I have experience with large and small animals including dogs, cats, and rabbits. I have cared for many large dogs all of which thought they were lap dogs, so I am not at all intimidated by their size :) I have also volunteered at animal shelters in the past and have experience caring for and walking multiple pets simultaneously.

We had Kristen walk our dog Mako and she did a phenomenal job. She walked him for an hour, and she was super comfortable with him, like immediately which I loved. I am 29 weeks pregnant and have a 10 month old as well so this was super helpful to have Mako go on an hour long walk with her. I highly recommend her and she seems like a true animal lover and although I just met her, she seems like she had a great vibe about herself.

Kirsten took great care of my cats. She followed directions per the notes I left. She had playtime with them and I didn’t have to ask. Thank you!

My husband and I are always so appreciative of Kirsten taking care of our Son Beau when we are away! She is friendly, warm,a great communicator and Beau seems to just adore her. We are always delighted to see his rover card and playful photos on each drop in visit.

Kirsten was great with our Kitty!! She did an excellent job staying in communication and making sure he was safe and taken care of! Definitely will be using her again to care for our sweet guy.
