Kirsten and I have been friends for over 10 years now and she is one of the most organized, responsible, and loving people that I know. These qualities show every time that she interacts with animals. Kirsten genuinely understands dogs and cats. She knows exactly how to meet their basic needs. But, besides understanding how to walk, feed, and clean up after dogs- Kirsten knows how to love them. I have seen the way that she cares for her dog, Bella, and her two cats, Hershey and CJ and she does an exceptional job. As a pet sitter, I know that Kirsten will exceed your expectations because not only will she follow the instructions that she is given she will go out of her way to make your pets feel comfortable and loved. I have 3 cats at home and Kirsten has watched them for me many times when I have been away. She has watched my cats for an extended period of time and every time I return from a trip my house looks flawless. She keeps it incredibly neat, which is often difficult to do when there are 3 cats roaming around. However, more importantly, whenever I walk in the door after a long time away from my cats, they seem happy and well treated. It is clear that the while I was gone, Kirsten was providing my cats with the love and attention that they need. Additionally, Kirsten makes sure to communicate me whenever I am away. I can recall one circumstance when one of my cats wasn’t eating well, and Kirsten contacted me immediately so that we could resolve the issue. Kirsten is and would be an incredible pet sitter for your pet(s). She has a lot of experience working with animals and she knows how to meet their needs and love them for you while you are gone. She will make sure to follow the instructions given and exceeding your expectations. When you return home, your pets will be happier than when you left them if you leave them under Kirsten’s care.
