Dedicated, responsible, flexible

Pet care experience

I know how hard it can be to be away from your pet, having been both a cat and dog parent. While you are away let me help give your dog or cat the extra love, attention, care and playtime you wish you were home to give. I will take your dog on a walk tailored to their needs and toss a catnip mouse with your feline friend. If you need overnight care for your pet, I will be able to provide this in your home and keep them to their regular schedule. I have been pet sitting for over 20 years with experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs and fish. I am reliable, responsible, and place a high value on excellent, professional customer service. Breathe easy to know your pet will be in competent hands. Families I have sat for in the past really appreciate the photo updates I send. I will send you photos from my visit through the app, keep an eye out for them! If you would like brushing, training, medication administration, specific type of playtime, or a potty break, companionship and love for an older dog, just ask. I want your cat or dog to have a great experience while you are away and will adhere to whatever training/care routines you have for your pet and protocols for being in your home. I am available to meet and greet prior to first walk or daycare. I do highly recommend a meet and greet prior to an overnight stay to assist with the transition of care for the longer period of time. Looking forward to caring for your dog, cat, or other furry, finned, or scaled friends!

Kirsten was great with our dog, Schuyler, treating her like a princess and making sure I had constant updates so my Christmas Holiday was as carefree as possible. From the moment I met her her maturity and priorities were clear; I was confident that I could depend on her to take care of my dog. My dog is friendly, but can be intimidating because she's big and can be intense. Kirsten befriended her easily and clearly wasn't intimidated. I'm really pleased with letting her into my home to care for my dog and won't hesitate to reach out to her when next I have need for dog-sitting. Thanks, Kirsten!

Kirsten was so so wonderful with our girl Daisy. She honestly gave her the best day- full of adventure, exercise, relaxation, fun, and love!!! Will absolutely reach out again as Kirsten was a wonderful friend and caregiver to our pup ?

We love Kirsten, and more importantly so does our dog! He’s older and needs extra TLC and Kirsten does a great job keeping him happy and meeting his needs, like carrying him up and down stairs. We were so comfortable having Kirsten in our home with our precious dog. Would highly recommend her!

I have used Rover with previous sitters, and I can confidently say that Kirsten is exceptional. She provided such thorough care of my two cats in the week that I was away. She provided me updates and photos twice a day. She went above and beyond, even cleaning up the cat vomit repeatedly. I will certainly be using her services again.
