Kirsten is absolutely amazing with animals, having grown up with pets ranging from fish to rabbits to parrots, and of course dogs. She's been lovingly taking care of and training her own dogs (English Pointer, Border Collie, and her mother's Shih Tzu) since the age of eight, and she's just as wonderful with them as they are loving towards her! She's incredible with my Shih Tzu, Ollie, and has been since he was only three months old! She's reliable, responsible, caring, respectful, trustworthy, and most importantly, great with dogs, big and small! I'm insanely protective over my little pup and wouldn't let just anyone watch him, but I know when Kirsten looks after him that I can trust that he's in great hands and also having the time of his life, as he's absolutely crazy about her! I can't recommend her enough, she'd make an amazing walker for any lucky dog!
