Pet care experience

Experienced Pet Caretaker

Over the past 10 years I have taken care of a variety of pets including dogs, cats, fish, and even the occasional chicken! I am comfortable around animals of all shapes and sizes, and truly enjoy spending my time caring for them. I have experience doing overnight and extended stays, as long as short-term check-ins and walks. This fall I will be in grad school and would love to do more daytime visits with my increased availability!

Kirsten took the best care of my little goldendoodle Reggie. She sent us updates throughout our trip and I could tell how happy and safe he felt in her care! 10/10 recommend, she is awesome

Kirsten was absolutely awesome! We needed a sitter for an extended time as we were on vacation for about a week and a half, and we got updates and adorable photos every day. Kirsten was great at administering Skippy's medication and helping him with his mobility issues (he's a senior, tripawd pup.) It was clear Skippy got comfortable with her very quickly, and Kirsten also provided comfort to him during the bane of every dog owner's summer...the fireworks during 4th of July. We came home to a happy dog and a very clean house! Highly recommend...thanks so much for treating Skippy like your own, Kirsten!

Provided excellent care, as always! Third rebook. Kirsten is a caring, reliable, kind human- she helped us with last minute care needs for our three fur babies (two require medication). Thanks so much Kirsten!

Kirsten went above and beyond during a time of great need, the sudden death of a parent. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your responsiveness, flexibility, and readiness to help. Kirsten is thorough, kind, reliable, and a good human.

Kirsten did a great job taking care of my cat and was communicative and flexible to accommodate the days I needed. I’d be happy to book her again in the future. Thanks Kirsten!
