I have a lot of free time and a goal of starting dental school once I can afford it! If I can reach that goal by meeting and caring for your fur babies, it will be a blessing. I’m available anytime from 8:30 am to 10 pm any day of the week or weekend. I do ask for a 3-4 notice in advance for appointments (scheduling or canceling) please and thank you!

Safety, trust & environment

For coming to a clients home, I always ask questions and for detailed instructions of pet care. I will follow the schedule, measurements and rules made by the owner to a T. I make sure dogs are being well supervised as well as lots of pets and play time! I am able to take them on walks, give them baths, play, crate and respect the dog (or cat) and owners boundaries. Side note: I cannot do boarding in my own home due to roommates and their pets.

Information Kirsten H. would like to know about your pet

I do favor having a printed set of instructions for pets I am taking care of! The more detailed the better! I always make sure to adhere to the guidelines given to me for the safety of the pet and out of respect of the owner.

A typical day

I love being active, giving mental stimulation, pets, cuddles and lots of love to dogs and cats! Engagement is key for a happy fur baby!

Pet care experience

I have owned 6 dogs through my lifetime, two boxers (Chica and Bella), one fox terrier (Jack), a black mouth cur (Kimber), A pit bull mix (Charlie) and a one eyed Chihuahua (Zoe). I also owned a couple of fish (Cheeto and Elvis) as well as a ferret (also named Jack). I worked as a kennel technician, groomer (I bathed, blow dried and clipped nails only, I did not cut hair) and a doggy daycare counselor as well! I know how to feed, water, walk, bathe, dry and give medications. My love for animals has always gone above and beyond, they deserve nothing less🩷

Kirsten has been a godsend. We have three chihuahuas and one, Milo, is very particular and doesn’t like people outside of our family but he took to Kirsten right away because of her calm and loving approach. If not for Kirsten we would not have been able to make important family visits or go on vacation. She has been exceptionally careful with our 21 year old cat. I highly recommend her.
