Pet care experience

Your pet’s new best friend 🐶🐱❤️

Hey!! I’m Kirsten, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pets like they’re part of my own family. 🐾 I’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my brother and I cared for our own pets and even helped stray animals in our neighborhood. That love for animals has stayed with me throughout my life. I also have hands-on experience working with an animal rescue, where I helped care for 14 dogs and 12 cats. My responsibilities included feeding, cleaning, providing basic daily care, keeping the animals comfortable, and—of course—giving them plenty of attention and love. I’ve also provided dog sitting and pet care for others over the years. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets while you’re away. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and comfortable following your pet’s individual routine and care instructions. I’m currently interested in dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, meals, companionship, or simply someone there to make them feel safe and loved, I’m happy to help. As a mom, I know how much trust it takes to leave someone you love in another person’s care. I want you to feel comfortable knowing your pet will be treated with kindness, patience, and lots of love while they’re with me. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! 🐶🐱❤️

Not a good experience at all. She thought my dog had worms and called me to pick her up. At the time I was waiting for a connecting flight in Chicago so that was impossible. My vet even called her and said my dog had already been wormed and she had seen the dog just days before and there were no worms. I had to pay someone to pick her up and keep her for the two weeks. Do not go with her!

Kirsten is amazing! She is great with our two dogs and takes good care of them. She is very flexible and communicates frequently. We have her walk our dogs multiple times a week and we highly recommend her!

Made sure my dog went out when she needed too and even went to the extent of making her special food when she wouldn't eat when I was gone! Extremely helpful and I didn't have to worry about my pup when I was away ?

Kirsten is fantastic with Izzy! I am glad that I didn't have to worry when on vacation for a week.

Are they spayed/neutered? Do they get alone with children? Do they get along with other dogs, and animals? Do they have gender preferences? Some are afraid of the other gender due to their pasts.
