Gimme Dog Break!

Pet care experience

I've been taking care of animals, both my own and watching others' animals, for about 25 years now. I have a Weimaraner, who has extreme energy, so I'm prepared for any dog (or cat) that comes into my care. I don't have a fenced in yard, but I am home all day which allows for plenty of time to walk outside and stretch. I can also do trips to the dog park down the street from me should you not mind. I'm achieving my professional ball throwing skill as well during these walks ;-) When your fur baby is here, it'll be like they're home and given the up most care to feel spoiled. I can't get enough of animals, so what better way than to watch and take care of yours!! I currently stay and work from home, so a daily and weekly routine is achieved to make sure their schedule is not interrupted. Walks galore! I'll worked with dogs long enough to know that being cautious is key, as you never know when one will try to escape when you go to leave your house or another owners house, as well as they are leashed before the door is opened. I also have baby gates to hopefully not use but can use in case of separation issues. I haven't had to do that yet. With going to another owners house, I make sure that all areas are secure before I leave as well.

Kirsten was amazing with our two pups! She even made the extra effort to come meet them before their stay with her. She communicated with me daily and was so friendly and loving to our pets. I’ll use her every time I travel. Super responsible and nice!

Kirsten was an amazing sitter! Plenty of feedback and flexibility. Apollo had a great and relaxing weekend with her! Will request boarding services again!

Kirsten was so kind and did an awesome job watching Gibbs. I felt so comfortable leaving Gibbs with her. Kirsten was flexible working around our schedule, she sent photos every day and I will definitely ask her again to watch Gibbs. Thank you Kirsten.
