I fully respect my clients' space, recognizing that I am a guest in their home, and will make sure to leave everything exactly as I found it.

Of course, I’ll always make sure to spend extra time showering the cat or dog with love and earning their trust. :)

Information Kirsten H. would like to know about your pet

Please feel free to let me know if there are any special care instructions or specific requests for your pet. Growing up with a diabetic dog, I’m comfortable and experienced with caring for animals with special needs, whether it’s medication, dietary requirements, or anything else.

A typical day

I love spending time with dogs and cats, whether it's going for a walk, playing, or simply relaxing together. Depending on the needs of the pet, I’ll do my best to be an engaging and fun sitter, whether that means taking them on a long walk or playing with their favorite toys.

Experienced in Pet Care & Cuddles

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up surrounded by a variety of pets, including our family dogs, rabbits, hamsters, fish, and a neighborhood cat named George. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of babysitting dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens for friends and family. I’m excited to connect with fellow pet owners in the city and rekindle my love for caring for animals, something I’ve truly missed in my life.

Kirsten is a WONDERFUL cat sitter!!! I was so nervous to leave for two weeks because my girl has never had a stranger watch her — but Büs was so well taken care of it never felt like there was a stranger in my home — I got daily pictures (which I LOVED receiving) and a short update — I came home to a happy (not sassy) kitty and trust the next time I have to leave my baby (if she’s available) Kirsten will be there with her kitty bells on — THANK YOU Kirsten for being such a great sitter

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
