Information Kirsten M. would like to know about your pet

Dog must be good with kids. If the dog has special instructions or needs an accommodation, we are willing to take that on. Just need to know ahead of time to understand that it can be accommodated.

A typical day

Dogs will go for walks daily and will have as much attention as they can manage. A typical day would depend on the dogs needs.

Pet care experience

Are you looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter who will treat your furry companion like family? Look no further! Our small family would love to house your dog, so you can enjoy time away with ease of mind. I had dogs for 13 years; Papillion (14) and Terrier (15) until they passed away. I also have experience with larger dogs (pitbull, German Shepard, border collie) from partners and family members owning them and asking for doggie care. Currently our family would love to have a dog of our own, but mama is still hesitant due to a broken heart. Our 2 young kids (9 & 11) have grown up with dogs in mom's and dad's homes and are very gentle and loving with animals. Promo code for new clients. https://www.rover.com/sit/kirstm15144

Our dog received excellent care with Kirsten! She was treated like family. Kirsten is great at communicating. She kept us informed on how our dog was doing and sent pictures. We could see that she was being well cared for, which made it possible for us to relax and enjoy our vacation.

Kirsten was wonderful with my dog. She kept me posted, and was flexible with a later pick-up. Her kids were great with my dog, and kept her entertained, which I appreciated a lot. ☺️

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
