I'll run/hike/SUP with your pup!
Pet care experience
I have extensive experience with Pups and kitties and even some reptiles! As a former veterinary technician at University Veterinary Clinic in Fairfax, VA, I worked for Dr. Jackson, VMD, for over four years (part time to full time). I loved working for Doc Jackson and his clinic is where I rescued my first pup, Rain. I'm an outdoor enthusiast and love running/hiking and hanging out with fur babies on the couch or outside on a run/hike! Spent lots of time volunteering at the RDC at the National Zoological Park (as an Interpreter & Keeper's Aide) and sea turtle research so I am very comfortable around most animals. I recently moved to Annapolis from VA, and I continue to pet sit for a few of my long term clients and their "fur babies" in VA. I am totally happy to exercise your pup or snuggle on the couch if your pup is low energy, a senior or just a "couch pup-potato". My full time occupation includes: training on land/water, Stand Up Paddle Board Instructor and Brand Ambassador for Evolve Paddle Boards. I am very familiar with introducing pups to water and SUPing comfortably. My own pup, Rain, was a true SUP PUP!
Reviews
Kirsten has taken care of our kitty for the last two years while we have gone away for as little as a weekend or up to two weeks. She knows her habits by now, food preferences and always inquires if there is anything new that she needs to be aware of. Knowing that Kirsten has several years experience working with veterinarians makes us feel reassured that she can handle any medical situation that may come up. Most importantly is her caring and love of animals. We always know that we can truly relax and enjoy our time away when our cat is in such great hands.
Kirsten has taken care of my dogs Bandit and Buster for years. They just love her and she has become part of the family. I never worry about them when they are in her care. She is reliable, responsive and her previous vet tech experience has come in handy since my dogs are anxious and getting older. I always recommend her to friends and family.
Kirsten is amazing with animals! She's owned many different animals, she's worked as a vet tech, she's walked my dog for me, and she pet sits for friends. She absolutely loves dogs especially. I highly recommend her!

Information Kirsten M. would like to know about your pet
I have no breed preferences! My late pup, Rain, was a beautiful pit bull mix! Just let me know if your pup has anxiety or daily stress triggers and what those are, if they are food protective and if there are any challenges physically.
A typical day
Run, power walks, hiking, exploring the outdoors, perhaps even paddle boarding in the summer months.
