Doggie/Kitty Lover at Your Service

Pet care experience

Hello! I have lived in an animal household for over 20 years of my life! My schedule is flexible and I work from home so can do house sitting and drop-ins any day of the week! I have 2 cats that I adore and my partner takes care of them while I am housesitting so I’m here for your pup/cat most if not the entire day! I’ve been taking care of pets with Rover for 3 years now and love meeting new dogs & cats to hang out and play with! It’s been a joy to experience such unique personalities in animals, and I’m always eager to meet more. A little history about me: As a child, I grew up with 2 cats and would stay at my friend's house helping walk her dog every weekend. I also took care of a family's dog as a full time nanny in the summer. In college, I had several pet-loving living situations such as taking in a street kitten for a year and nursing her back to health. Her name was tacocat, so full of energy, I love her! After that, I lived in a house with a dog named Jaxon and a little kitty. These were my roommates' pets and she frequently went home over the weekends so I would pet sit for her then. For a year in 2018/2019, I shared an apartment with 3 roommates. Two were cute kitties named Cheez and Cali. I helped with feeding them and cleaning their litter boxes. My roommate would often go home for the holidays, so I took care of them then. Now, I have several private clients that I house sit for with a variety of dog breeds and cats as well! I'd love to help care and house sit for your kitties and dogs! My schedule is flexible and I’m delighted to meet your cute pets!

Kirsten looked after our puppy, two cats, and apartment for ten days and we couldn’t be happier. We came back to the place spotless and all animals happy and well! Kirsten sent us daily updates with photos so we knew everything was ok. We were a little nervous at first having someone we don’t know stay at our apartment but she made us comfortable at every opportunity and we are so happy we found her. Our puppy can be quite difficult to deal with and Kirsten did so with patience! She went above and beyond and will definitely be using her again! She even left some cute Polaroids at the apartment of our animals. Definitely book Kirsten you won’t regret it!

Kirsten was wonderful, as usual! This is the third time we’ve had Kirsten and for the longest duration (2 weeks) It’s a huge relief not to have to worry about Ms. G because I know she’s in good hands—getting lots of belly rubs, walks and treats!

Kirsten is wonderful! She is very caring and attuned to my little doggie. I'm definitely a repeat customer. We're very happy to have met her.

This is the second time Kirsten has taken care of our dog and she did a wonderful job! Ms. G loved having her here. Kirsten communicated regularly with us while we were away.
