Pet care experience

Caring and Knowledgeable

I was a Pre-Veterinary student who loves taking care of animals. I am a very capable and compassionate individual, who will give your fur baby all the attention they deserve and love her like she is one of mine. They will experience a great time in my house and back yard while you enjoy the convenience of my inner city location and my affordability. I was professionally trained as a veternary assistant, and I am fully capable of working with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I have a spacious home in the city with a fully fenced yard, full of fun things for your dog to play with. There is a splash pool for summer fun, and plenty of fun things to smell in the grass. I enjoy interacting with pets and your dog would feel right at home with my dogs. From Canada? No problem! If you would like to book my services but you are from north of the border, all your pet needs is their current rabies vaccination certificate to cross over to the US side. The owner should have their passport as well. It's that easy!

Her and her husband were amazing with our little guy Cooper♥️ We are very grateful that they were able to take him in last minute and that our pup had a lot of fun!

Kirsten is so great with our scaredy dog! Flowey does not kennel well, but she thrives with Kirsten's kindness and the attention of her best buddy Scarlett. Thank you Kirsten!

Kirsten is so wonderful with animals, she took the extra time and effort to help our nervous dog settle in for a long stay. She is so knowledgeable and kind. Her dog became best friends with my dog and helped her to feel at home. In a kennel, our dog gets too stressed out, but she loves staying at Kirsten's peaceful house! We will definitely book again.

I would like to know if the dog is friendly to other people and animals, how they behave on leash, if they are escape artists, and if they have ever been around cats.
