Availability
Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I have two cats of my own, and playtime is built into our mornings and evenings — it’s something my husband and I genuinely enjoy. We both work full-time (I’m a teacher and he works in the medical field), but during the day my mom or grandmother is home with my son, so there’s always someone around. That means pets are never left without care, attention, or a familiar presence, and I’m able to stick closely to each pet’s normal routine.

Safety, trust & environment
Pets will be safe and comfortable in my home. We own our house and have both a fully fenced backyard and a fenced front yard, giving pets plenty of secure outdoor space. We love getting outside and regularly go on longer walks and trail excursions, so active dogs will get plenty of exercise and enrichment. Daily walks are already part of our routine, often with my son along for the fun. Inside, pets have space to relax, and I can crate a dog if needed or requested. I also have a calm, quiet area of the house for pets who prefer a more peaceful space or need a break from activity.
Home
Information Kirsten & Nathan F. would like to know about your pet
I’d love to know anything that helps your pet feel comfortable and happy while they’re with me. Please share details about their daily routine, feeding schedule, walks, and sleep habits, as well as any quirks, fears, or triggers. Let me know how they do around other dogs, children, or new environments, and if there are any training cues you’re working on. If your pet has medical needs, allergies, medications, or special care instructions, please include those too. The more I know, the better I can tailor their care and keep things consistent for them.
A typical day
I provide a calm, consistent home environment while making sure your dog gets plenty of activity and enrichment throughout the day. We’ll enjoy regular walks, playtime, and engaging activities tailored to your dog’s energy level, along with opportunities to relax and unwind. I stick to familiar routines for meals, rest, and bedtime so your dog feels secure and comfortable, while still having lots of fun and positive attention. My goal is to make your dog feel happy, well-exercised, and right at home while you’re away.

Pet care experience
I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember and have basically never known a pet-free life. I grew up with my dad, who is a professional dog trainer, so learning how to understand and work with animals started early for me. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and even ferrets (yes, really) — I had two ferrets and a cat in college, and now I have two cats of my own. I regularly take care of my family’s pets when they’re out of town, and I take that responsibility seriously while still making sure pets feel relaxed, safe, and loved. I’m excited to expand my pet care and help more families feel comfortable knowing their pets are in good hands.
Reviews
Kirsten was wonderful with Uma! She took great care of her, kept me updated throughout the stay, and made me feel comfortable knowing Uma was in good hands. She was attentive to Uma’s needs, patient with her puppy energy, and genuinely cared about making sure she was comfortable. Communication was excellent, and I really appreciated the updates and photos. It was clear that Uma was well cared for and happy during her stay. I would definitely recommend Kirsten to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and caring sitter, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.
Ecco was relaxed and enjoyed the day with Kirsten Nathan. Very accommodating on an early start time.
Extremely nice, communicative, and accomodating hosts for our senior dog! Thank you SO much!
We are very appreciative of Kirsten & Nicholas for boarding our dog. With a nice backyard and comfortable home she had a great time and was well cared for. Will definitely use again! Thanks for taking good care of our friend.
