Home FT-specializing in older dogs

Pet care experience

I'm a lifelong dog lover and companion, seeing three dogs from puppyhood through old age and across the rainbow bridge, along the way giving them the special care that's needed in each stage. From puppy training to middle age snuggling to elderly medication regimes and special diets, I've done it all! I will love and care for your pup as if s/he were my own, and they will be included in our regular family life as a welcome guest. I currently have a sweet and gentle 30-pound male terrier mix, Desmond, who will be a fun companion to your pet, as we play and explore the parks and trails of the East Side together. If your dog does better solo, that can be arranged as well. I have an SUV for transporting even larger dogs for day trips, outings and vet or grooming appointments. I'd love to meet you and your dog today!

Kirsten has looked after my pets on a short-term and long-term basis for several years. She is patience, gentle and understands my pets. I would trust her with my pets without reservation.

Kirsten is one of my favorite people ever, and one of the most compassionate animal-lovers I know. In fact it was seeing her with her own dogs, and her devotion and care for them as they aged, that inspired me to get a dog myself and to take that commitment seriously. Kirsten truly sees each animal as a unique and precious soul that deserves every possible kindness. You couldn't find anyone better to entrust with your pet's care!
