I treat your pet like my own!

Pet care experience

I am experienced with a variety of animals. I have previously been a Doggy Daycare Attendant, an Animal Care Technician at the ARL, and I am currently a Veterinary Assistant and Veterinary Rehabilitation Assistant. I can administer medications and will clean up after any accidents. I will always put the pet’s safety needs first. I always look forward to spending time with all types of pets. I have experience with blind, deaf, arthritic, and seizure-prone dogs, as well as those with other ailments and medical conditions . I love going on walks and runs with dogs; and playing with them is a wonderful experience. I am very comfortable with handling all sizes of dogs and all energy types of dogs and cats.

Kirsten did a great job with my high-maintenance cat. She came to the house twice a day, fed him, cleaned his litter box, PILLED him, and went above and beyond to play with him. I highly recommend her for your pet-sitting needs!

Kirsten stayed at our home for 9 days while we were out of state. We have 2 dogs and 1 cat. She did incredible. This was our first time using Rover for an overnight sitter and I couldn’t give Kirsten a better recommendation. She was wonderful. We will be using her again.

Safety, trust & environment

Due to having no fence and 2 dogs of my own I will not board any pets in my house, unless there is prior discussion, meeting, and all animals are vaccinated and on a parasite prevention. I am more than happy to care for your animals inside their home, where they will be the most comfortable, and least stressed.

Information Kirsten S. would like to know about your pet

I would need to know about any reactivity to anything. I would also need to know about medications, allergies, or medical conditions. Also knowing about any abnormal behaviors the dog might exhibit.

A typical day

I love to take dogs to nature trails for a fun adventure. I can provide enrichment with Kongs, Lick Mats, Toppls, Lick mats, and more. I love making special treats too for my furry friends.
