Always looking for a puppy playdate
Pet care experience
My name is Kirsten (I'm the brunette)! I am a former student athlete and graduated from George Mason University in 2017. I played soccer and am now living in Arlington with my fiancee Sarah (the blonde), our two cats, both of which have been around dogs for most of their lives, and our small pup Bruce. I've loved animals all my life and when I think back on my life I can't remember a time when there weren't animals around. I've had cats and dogs and even a bunny while in college. I had a Pomeranian, a Lab/Boxer Mix, and a Rhodesian Ridgeback/Lab Mix and they were my best friends, we would walk around the lake and parks near my house where we loved exploring and being outside. Over the years I've boarded dogs on numerous occasions, while in my care my tasks included feeding, walking, playing, and in a couple cases administering medication. So, if there is any special treatment for your pup we can work it out. The neighborhood around my apartment is close to a nice sized park and there is a courtyard right outside my building. If your dog is okay in the car, I'd love to take them down to the monuments to do some exploring, or if not we could walk down to the Air Force Memorial not too far from me. They could even just relax and lay in the grass while I lay in my hammock outside. The options are endless! I can't wait to meet your dog!
Reviews
Kirsten was amazing during Troy’s boarding experience!! Troy definitely got the royal treatment with all the toys and the loving attention from Kirsten. We received many pictures of Troy being pampered along with the multiple walks throughout the day. We are so happy with Troy’s experience that we’ve already booked his next three day weekend stay with Kirsten!
She is absolutely amazing! Accommodate perfectly with my last minute plans.
My dog Daffodil loves every time Kirsten comes to walk her. She is always on time for their walks and takes the care and time to play with her and not just rush through the task. Kirsten treats Daffodil as if she were her own dog. Any one would be truly lucky and grateful to have Kirsten walk their dog!
Kirsten was by far the best pet sitter I've had. She was highly attentive and nurturing to my golden retriever puppy, I was almost convinced that she was her owner!

Safety, trust & environment
Animals are treated with the utmost respect and are loved just as much as my own pets. I understand how important it is to care for someone else's fur baby and the trust that it takes to leave an animal in someone else's care. I hope to help make your time away even better knowing that your animal is well cared for.

Information Kirsten G. would like to know about your pet
Since I have a small dog (chihuahua, 6 lbs) we only abl to accept small - medium sized dogs, but exceptions can be made if a larger dog is gentle with small dogs. Also, the dogs must be friendly with cats as I have 2 of them (they are dog friendly.) Also, how many time's a day they need to be taken out so I can adjust my schedule during the week.
A typical day
We can take nice long walks around the neighborhoods near my apartment, running on the tennis courts nearby, walk on the trail near GW Parkway, play at Gravelly Point, Air Force Memorial, or Potomac Park near the monuments. The possibilities are endless.
