When I got home from my trip Brody was very content and had obviously been well taken care of. Kirsten sent me multiple pictures of him while I was gone to help keep my mind at ease. I will absolutely use her again in the future.

Kirsten’s vast knowledge of canines is definitely reflected through her dogs, and there are no words to put into context how much she dedicates her time, love, and energy into them. I have never met anyone who compares to her interest and motivation to be the best possible pet owner she can be.

Kirsten has been watching and walking my dogs for about 8 months now. She truly loves animals to an extreme extent showing nothing but love to them. She seems to know how to calm my 4 year old Boxer down on walks and in the house. When she takes my dog on a walk, he always come back happy and ready for a nap. You’ll never find someone more perfect to watch or walk your pets as Kirsten has a high amount of love and passion in walking dogs and spending time with them. Big dogs , little dogs, she’s always ready for the challenge. If you don’t have the time to get your dog the exercise he/she needs, Kirsten would be an amazing person to help with That. I promise your dogs will love to spend the time with her and go on walks to get some energy out. I’m always going to continue having Kirsten walk my dogs in the future, as she is their best friend. Nothing but love and passion for these dogs.
