Caring for your pets just like you!

Pet care experience

Hello! Thanks for checking out my profile! I am a lifelong animal lover which led me to study animal science in school. I worked as a vet tech for quite a few years, owned a variety of personal pets, and spent a large part of my young adult life pet-sitting for friends, family, and recurring clients back before apps were a thing. I recently relocated to Maryland and decided to give pet-sitting apps a try. I am looking forward to meeting you and your furbabies! Growing up, I was that crazy horse-mom who thought no one could take care of my horse as well as me. Therefore, I totally understand when pet parents want things done their way. My goal with each and every animal is to care for them the same way you do. We all know change can be hard on our pets and by minimizing that change we can reduce the stress they may experience. By sticking to their normal schedule and routine, pets can stay happy, active, and loving life even when you are not able to be there! I am always happy to discuss what works best for you and your pet and I will do my best to accommodate. * For drop-ins and walks during the work week I am happy to do so for homes within 5-10minute drive of Prince Fredrick. ** As of right now I do not charge extra for multiple dog homes as long as dogs can walk together and are relatively simple to care for. If each animal requires a lot of one on one attention, extensive medical attention, or there are a large number of animals (3+) a small fee might be added per day. This will never be a surprise and I will always discuss with you openly.

Kirsten is amazing! Our three giant breed dogs and one pushy frenchie adore her. The humans of the family think she’s pretty wonderful too! It’s not easy to wrangle 4 dogs, trust me, I know, but Kirsten makes it look easy. She’s so patient and loving. I’m super picky about who I have watch our pack and couldn’t imagine anyone else watching our fur babies.

We love Kirsten! My dogs seem so happy when she stays with them and she leaves the house looking like she was never here. She sent pictures often and updated me on how things were going. She's my top choice for dog care.

Safety, trust & environment

Having a meet & greet is incredibly important to me. It is a great way to not only meet you and your pets but see the environment in which I will be staying. This allows me to ask questions about walking the dogs (for example if you are on a busy street), where the animals sleep, how to best feed them (if there are multiple animals), etc. ** Please note, I will only work in non-smoking households and only households with a basic level of cleanliness.

Information Kirsten C. would like to know about your pet

I think knowledge is power, therefore knowing what the animal likes and dislikes, any past behavior issues, quirks, things to watch out for medically, etc. Perhaps your dog hates small dogs or your cat needs insulin, all of this is important to know. Of course, I also love to know their favorite toy or where they best like scratches :).

A typical day

Every animal is different so each visit is going to be unique to that individual animal. For our senior animals a quiet stroll around the block might be fun or for our more adventure driven souls perhaps an adventure to the park. It all depends and I would love to work with you to find what your pet best enjoys and would benefit from!
