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 took excellent care of our pup Enzo while we were out of the country! We were a bit nervous to leave as he had some changing health/medication needs, but she was happy to accommodate. Her very adorable pictures and frequent updates gave us a ton of peace of mind. Enzo loved staying with her and Mia! Thank you! ❤️
