I am a full time student at Iowa State and a part of the Equestrian Hunt Team. I have lots of free time that I would love to dedicate to checking in on your animals or giving them a chance to stretch their legs!

Safety, trust & environment
I would provide the best care and work with the pet owner on the specifics to what applies to their pet the best. If needed I can provide a leash for walks!
Information Kirsten M. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any special care instructions or any quirks so I can better plan ahead. I am happy to work with any accommodations needed!
A typical day
I love playing with dogs in and out of the house and even just relaxing with them inside or at a park. Playing fetch and going for walks are my favorite activities.

Your pet’s new best friend!!
Pet care experience
I have a 5 year old cattle lab mix who has a personality like no other. I have taken care of dogs my entire life. Whether that be family, friends, or neighbors. They have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and bathe their furry beasts. While I have lived with dogs my entire life I have recently (in the past 4 years) joined the cat family and am growing my knowledge on cats. I have taken care of dogs from the ages of 3 months to 18 years and am very familiar with puppy training (mostly potty training) and senior care (slow, medications, and weak hind end). I have worked with the friendliest of dogs and some with aggression issues that were slowly and correctly worked through. When someone trusts me with their animal I treat them as my own if not better. All pets deserve the most love, attention, and of course… treats!!
Reviews




Kristen took great care of my 4 mastiffs and my home during a snow storm! She kept in touch, sent photos, and texts. When I returned home everthing was clean and in order. Dogs were happy too.
Kirsten is an amazing person, she is nice and caring to everyone, but especially with animals. Kirsten has cared for my pets before, and she did a fantastic job. I know she has cared for a wide variety of animals, so she will be able to accommodate whatever needs your pet may have.
Kirsten has always been extremely attentive when caring for my dog Bear. I’ve seen her work closely with animals for quite some time and every time I am amazed with her grace. Whenever I’m in need of pet care assistance I turn to Kirsten. She is trustworthy, caring, kind, and communicative. Overall, such an amazing person to trust with your pets!
Kirsten has taken care of our boy Murffy since he was eight weeks old. She is very attentive and active with him - taking him for walks and even brings him special treats. He is so excited when she comes to the house and watches out the window when she leaves. He loves her so much! Whether it’s been checkins during the day or overnights, we trust Kirsten to take the best care of our pup.
