A Pets Best Friend!

Welcome! My name is Kirsten and I am a resident of Portland Tx! I’m originally from Austin where I began my animal care journey. I owned my own animal care service business in Austin for about 4 years taking care of dogs and cats from north all the way down to south Austin. I’ve loved every minute of meeting all kinds of personalities from all pets and giving them the love and attention they need. I’m happy to do a meet and greet with your fur baby. Look forward to meeting you!

Kirsten took excellent care of our kitties while we were away and sent updates and photos with each visit. I’d definitely recommend her for taking care of your pets.

Kirsten is just the BEST. She is loving and so sweet to my baby lab (six years old 😀) Rocky. She is so easy to work with even with 1 day’s notice. Rocky and I are so lucky!
