Online Grad Student & Animal Lover

I currently am doing a virtual graduate program and I love having a furry friend to keep me company and can spend all day with them! I have also been volunteering with shelter dogs for the past couple of years. Because of this I have experience with lots of different temperaments, and have received additional specialized training for both shy and anxiety prone dogs as well as reactive, high-energy dogs. Therefore, I feel very comfortable handling a wide range of dogs. I have also dealt with many different breeds such as very high energy huskies, strong pit-bulls, stubborn chihuahuas, etc so I feel comfortable around any breed of dog. I’ve lived with my roommates cats for many years so I am experienced in everyday care for cats and have cat-sit many times in the past. My cat is very opinionated so I have lots of experience with any quirks that your cat may have and am very respectful of their boundaries.

Safety, trust & environment

For booking, I typically like to do a phone call to discuss details to make sure that we would be a good fit and then I am more than happy to set up a meet and greet if it would be beneficial. I am very respectful of everyone’s boundaries and am happy to work up trust between us if needed.

Kirsten was great with Ernie! He has bad separation-related stress, and she made us feel so at ease while we were gone. She provided consistent updates and made sure to follow everything Ernie needed for his routine and comfort. Highly recommend and would happily use her again when we travel in the future!

Kirsten stayed in our apartment and took care of our dog for a week. Our dog is big and can be anxious, but Kirsten asked lots of questions, took detailed notes, and went above and beyond to make her comfortable. Kirsten also made communication easy while we were away. Highly recommend!!

Kirsten did a great job taking care of our pets. We have a dog and a cat, and really appreciate the peace of mind having a reliable sitter provides when we travel. I look forward to working with Kirsten again!

Schedule

I do all of my work online so as long as I have Wifi I am able to work from anywhere and also have a super flexible schedule because of that. I can typically spend almost all of my day with your animal because I work from home.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Kirsten can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
I would like to know any information about how they react to different stimuli, especially other dogs/animals and people so I know best how to ensure we have safe and fun walks. I would also like to hear about their attachment style so I know what kind of attention will make everyone feels cared for. I try to stick to the schedule they are used too so any information on feeding and walking times is much appreciated.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
