Kirsten is a dog sitter extraordinaire! My little dog is aging and quite neurotic, he has a hard time when I leave him even for just a short period of time. Ordinarily it takes him a long time to calm down after I return home following an absence, however brief. When Kirsten has been here taking care of him while I’m gone, my dog’s anxiety is not nearly as severe. I’m not sure what kind of canine magical Mojo Kirsten has, but whatever it is is very effective. I highly recommend person for any of your pet sitting needs.

Kirsten was wonderful with our three senior dogs! Anyone with seniors knows, caring for older pups comes with extra responsibility, and she made us feel completely at ease from the start. She was patient, attentive, flexible, and clearly took the time to understand each dog’s individual routine, personality, and needs. We really appreciated her updates, photos, and communication while we were away—it was so reassuring to see that all three were comfortable, relaxed, sometimes silly 😆, and well cared for. We came home to happy pups who had clearly had received lots of love and attention. We truly are grateful for the kindness and care Kirsten showed them while we were away. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, thoughtful sitter, particularly for dogs who need a little extra patience and TLC. We will definitely book with her again!

We had a lovely experience with Kirsten! She cared for our dog Rhett and made him feel so comfortable and loved even with him being a very anxious dog. We loved all of the photo and video updates she provided for us and her communication was always great. We will absolutely be booking with Kirsten for future trips and are so thankful to have found a reliable sitter nearby who we trust with our dog!

We booked Kirsten to watch our 3 dogs (2 of which are elderly) in our home for a short trip to see how she and they would do together. Things went great! The dogs were happy and healthy when we got home. Kirsten sent us pictures of the pups each day. The house was clean when we got home. Seriously a great test run!

Kirsten was fantastic with Maple while we were gone for the week. She sent lots of pictures and I could tell Maple was happy when we returned. Kirsten also was incredibly helpful housesitting with water plants and feeding the fish. She also helped us navigate the AC going out during a heatwave and made sure Maple didn't get too hot.

I have known Kirsten for many years. I do not know a more caring and conscientious person. She loves and adores all of her charges, whether they are cats, dogs, guinea pigs, or even small children! Kirsten watched over our cats and dogs, our home, and our children many times. I wouldn't hesitate to have her care for our home and pets again. I myself have been a Rover sitter for many families as well as a person who has hired Rover sitters. Honesty and integrity are huge when you open your home to someone to care for your pets and to respect your space. It's hard to find a person you trust to that degree. Kirsten is absolutely that person.
