Pet care experience

Always covered in dog hair.

I have worked with animals most of my life. I have experience administering medication of all types. When I pet sit I will run, walk, and/or continue training with dogs and puppies. I will take the time to learn what both you and your beloved pet need while you are gone and update you as much as you prefer. ❤️

Kirsten was super communicative during our two dogs’ overnight stay and gave us a great first impression of the Rover experience. We have a senior dog with some special needs and she didn’t bat an eye regarding his health needs. A+

Kirsten was great! I could relax and trust that my fur babies were being taken care of while we were away. She went above and beyond!

Schedule

Working and caring for dogs is full-time career. I love caring for dogs in my home and offering my clients detailed communication regarding their dog(s) while away. My focus is boarding, drop ins, and walks. I gladly accept reactive dogs, special needs dogs, and high energy or high maintenance dogs.

Safety, trust & environment

When boarding, big dogs and little dogs are kept separate. During unsupervised times such as when we are sleeping dogs are either in a kennel or allowed to roam the household if they are not destructive and owners are comfortable! Generally, dogs eat twice daily unless otherwise discussed. Medications are given at the times they are needed and each dose is logged in the app for peace of mind. I send pictures and communicate each day. I also send videos if we are doing something fun. I happily work with dogs that are not dog or people friendly. With reactive or unfriedly dogs I ask for a little more notice so I do not book other dogs during that time frame. I usually host four dogs at once unless we have a reactive guest. Discounts offered, please ask me about them. :)

Pets

A typical day

We love hiking and exploring all the local trails. We also spend a lot of time in our yard playing and/or reinforcing training. A mentally and physically tired dog is a happy dog. Dogs are always supervised unless we are sleeping. Dogs are never outside alone and always have us near by to ensure safety.

Kirsten can host up to 4 pets per night
Please let me know ahead of time if your dog has any specific needs or quirks. When hosting I like to make sure I only have a max of 4 dogs in addition to my own. I also clear my personal schedule so I can balance caring for your dog(s) as well as my own without any distractions.
