Pet care experience

Trusted care, happy tails

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.

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.

Kirsten and Nathan went above and beyond to make sure our pup felt right at home while we were away. They kept us updated with great communication and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. So grateful to have found them! Highly recommend.

I’m truly so lucky to have found Kirsten to watch my pets! She is always the first person I call because I know how much she loves and cares for each pet she meets. She goes above and beyond every single time and even purchased my dogs a new toy to play with! When my cat was sick and needed some medication, she didn’t hesitate to say “no problem”. Couldn’t recommend her more. If your pets are as much your fur-children as they are mine, then you’ll have peace of mind with Kirsten.

Kirsten is incredibly knowledgeable, responsible, attentive, and truly loving with ALL animals. She treats every pet like her own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I would trust her with any pet without hesitation!

I have known Kirsten since we were in High School. She has always been caring, loving, kind and patient to both humans and animals. We lived together for a while in college where I saw her care for her own pets, our roommates cats and she would help with my dog while I was at work. I would trust her with my current dog and definitely recommend her as a pet care provider.

Love for pets and taking good care of them runs in the family and continues to be a part of her day-to-day life. From ferrets to dogs to cats and more, she is naturally caring towards all creatures. She has the integrity, knowledge and intuition that you would want in a pet sitter and will provide immediate relief to any worries about leaving your pet in someone else's care.

Schedule

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.

Pets

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.

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.
