RN, Reliable, Responsible

Pet care experience

I’m an RN who’s been house/pet sitting on the side for about 6-8 years. I love animals and am respectful, clean, and attentive to pet/s’ needs. I’ve cared for cats, dogs, fish, a snake, and a hedgehog previously. I grew up with Guinea pigs, rats, and snakes. I’ve also experienced the joy of raising a puppy and am currently cohabitating with a cat 😉 I’ve learned a LOT about cats since adopting my little Zoe in 2020. I happened to rescue a very vocal and bossy cat, lol! She’s also very sensitive and has had skin issues that I’ve had to treat with medications. I’m also happy to take care of your pet’s medical needs. Many of my nursing skills are transferable and I’ve taken additional training on how to provide first aid, emergency care, and medication administration for cats and dogs. Lastly, I’ve learned how reassuring it is knowing I have a trustworthy and caring person to take care of my beloved pet when I’m gone. I want to be that person for you and am happy to send photos and/or videos while you’re away.

Kirsten is excellent with animals! Our dog and 2 cats took to her kind demeanor immediately as if they had known her their whole lives. She took the time to play with our 16 mo old puppy Nugget and create new games for him. She is conscientious about feeding times, play time and the quirky habits of our animals. I trust her completely with our fur-babies and know she looks out for their safety and best interest at all times.

Kirsten is great with my puppy. Third time she has walked Zahra. I will continue to use her going forward.

I accommodate your pet/s’ needs at your home whether it be a drop-in visit to feed your pet and give them attention or stay with your pet/s while you’re away on weekend vacation.

Information Kirsten O. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet had any special needs or particular behaviors, so I’m aware of how best to take care of your pet.

A typical day

I’ll give your pet my undivided attention and accommodate their preferences. If i’m taking care of your dog; I’m happy to take them on a walk, let them run around at the dog park (with permission of course), play fetch, or play their preferred game. If I’m taking care of your cat, I’ll ignore them properly at first , haha, so they get curious about me and then I’ll play with them and give them some love and affection. If you have a pet other than a dog or cat, I’ll provide stimulation that is appropriate for your pet.
