Pet care experience
I have always loved animals of all sorts and have never met a dog or cat that I don't like! I've been pet sitting on and off since I was about 10, so I know what it takes to care for someone's furry family member. I will treat and care for them as if they are my own pet. I've grown up with dogs and cats all my life, so I have a lot of experience taking care of not just others animals. My schedule is flexible and I can work late hours or stay overnight. Since it's sometimes hard for animals to be left with a stranger, my vet assisting experience has helped me learn how to take care of stressed animals and help them ease their anxiety. I also have a degree in animal behavior, which gives me more insight into seeing how certain things are helping or not helping your pets! I have worked in several dog day cares as well so I have experience with taking care of more than one animal at a time.
Reviews
Kirsten has been fantastic house sitting my dog. Communication with her has been a breeze and she sends constant updates along with pictures of Zeus. I would highly recommend her to anyone. I have already rebooked future dates because she has been so reliable and dependent.
Kirsten is a kind and loving person. She is responsible and loves animals. We have three puppies which adore Kirsten. She will take the time needed to ensure that your animal is loved and cared for. I would recommend her to care for your animals.
Kirsten has a special way of connecting with even the shyest or most scared animals. We used to volunteer together at adoption events, and she was always given the “toughest” ones because she made them feel safe. She is responsible, compassionate and trustworthy. I highly recommend Kirsten for pet sitting!

Safety, trust & environment
I have one cat currently, so my own pets will not get in the way of me taking care of yours! I have had dogs in the past so I am aware of the work that is needed to take care of them and provide a stress free environment for them.
Information Kirsten W. would like to know about your pet
I have no breed preferences, I love all dogs. Before pet sitting a dog I would like to know some of their behavior such as what sets them off, if they get aggressive over certain things, what they enjoy, etc.
A typical day
I love running and walking with dogs. I take my own dogs to the dog park and the beach and will happily take your pet to either of those when you want.
