Pet care experience

Dog loving family available to you!

I have been caring for a wide range of pets since I was 10 years old, growing up with dogs, cats, and Guinea pigs. As a kid I would frequently walk neighbors dogs and look after pets when my neighbors were away. My love for animals led me to volunteer at a veterinary hospital when I was 14, which turned into a job at 16. I have 8 years experience working with a local vet and 30 years experience as a pet caretaker and owner. Our family currently has our big boy, Bear. He is a calm and patient 8 year old 150lb silver lab with food allergies and other medical needs, so we have experience in administering oral, topical and injectable medications, as well as dealing with dietary restrictions. We look forward to caring for your dog!

I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Kirsten! Because he was adopted, we're not sure this was Tucker's first daycare experience, but it was an amazing day for him! The photos and report card are a great touch and he obviously had a great time. We will be using Kirsten's Rover for daycare and for boarding when needed. Thank you, Kirsten for showing Tucker a good time!

Kirsten and her family are the best!! They always take such great care of our boy Zuko. 💙 He loves staying with them and I have peace of mind knowing he is safe and happy in their home. 😊
