Pet care experience

A dogs life is short, make it great

I had a giant malamute who was very aggressive. Having to handle him for 8 years I can now handle any dog with any personality. I inherited an old shitzu from my grandma for 3 years. He was going def and blind, needed meds and help waking at the end. So I’m experienced for any type of dog situation. I also am comfortable rollerblading, running or riding a bike with a dog if they are really high energy and need more than walking. I now have another malamute. I love dogs so this is why I’ve cared for them for many years. I would do dog care full time if I made enough money to live. I part time nanny on the side. I come with tons of references including vet offices and Veterinarians , dog/homeowners and doggy daycares. I love the outdoors so being outside and exercising dogs isn’t like work to me. I enjoy it. Rain or shine. A lot of the dogs I look after need medication or special care because they’re very old

Doggy Day Care • Mar 23, 2026

Kirsten was able to watch our 4 month old puppy, Stevie, on super short notice and we’re so grateful! She provided us with updates and pictures throughout the day so we didn’t have to worry about how our little one was doing. Stevie slept so good after we picked her up, so I know she was well taken care of :) I’d recommend Kirsten to anyone!

Kirsten has been my dog sitter for several years. Not only is she extremely reliable but she has such a way with animals! It was so reassuring to see my dog happy and well-cared for in her capable hands when I take my work trips. My cockapoo loves Kirsten, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend if you are looking for a reliable new best buddy for your beloved dog!!

I highly recommend Kirsten as a dog sitter or walker as I’ve hired her for both. She has a great relationship with my dog (border collie) and is very responsible. she’s also able to manage the high energy and needs of my girl
