Pet care experience

Hey! My name is Kirsten, I am a dog & animal lover in Seattle. I have a 5 year old Husky mix who I rescued after years of regularly dog sitting. I’m grateful for the opportunity to help out with yours! I love all dogs and being able to help the animals that bring me so much joy. I frequently go outside on hikes and walks- which are even better with companions! I have cared for all kinds of dogs of all ages, quite literally from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. A dog is considered a family member, and I promise to always treat yours with the same love I would extend to my own. *I work from home with a flexible schedule, have a huge dog proof fenced yard, live across from the arboretum & only take one pup at a time! My pup is a total sweetheart and loves making new friends. Please note that I live in a duplex, my downstairs neighbor has a small dog who you may hear but he would not be in my space. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or information and I would love to be of service! 😃

Kirsten was an exceptional sitter. She is a great communicator, sent regular updates with many happy photos assuring us that she was both safe and happy, and made Ruthie feel right at home. Will definitely reach out to Kirsten to watch Ruthie again in the future.
