Availability

As a part-time worker, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent, attentive care for your pet. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits or walks, and I can accommodate overnight stays or extended check-ins as needed. My part-time hours give me the ability to prioritize your pet’s routine and comfort while you're away. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or weekend stays, I can create a schedule that works best for you and your pet.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pets safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s unique needs, routines, and preferences, and I always follow any specific instructions you provide. In your home, I maintain a calm, respectful environment and make sure your pet feels secure and loved in their familiar space. I also prioritize clear communication and send regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is in caring, capable hands.

Information Kirsten W. would like to know about your pet

I typically ask for basic details like the pet’s name, age, breed, and any medical conditions or medications they may need. I also inquire about their temperament, any behavioral triggers or fears, and how they interact with people and other animals. Understanding their daily routine, feeding schedule, favorite toys or activities, and exercise needs helps me tailor my care. Additionally, I ask about emergency contacts, and any special instructions or quirks the pet may have.

A typical day

A typical day with the pets I watch includes morning and evening walks, feeding according to their schedule, and plenty of playtime and cuddles. I keep pets engaged with fun activities like fetch, puzzle toys, and gentle training sessions. Throughout the day, I make sure they have time to rest, go outside for potty breaks, and get any grooming they need. I also keep owners updated with photos and notes to share how their pets are doing. My goal is to provide loving, attentive care that keeps pets happy and comfortable while their owners are away.

Pet care experience

I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, including my own pups and those of family, friends, and clients. My experience includes walking, feeding, administering medications, crate training, and providing enrichment through play and exercise. I'm comfortable with senior dogs, high-energy breeds, and those with special needs. I always prioritize safety, communication, and making sure each dog feels comfortable and loved while you're away.

Our girls were relaxed and happy after spending the weekend with Kirsten. She sent pics and communicated well with us. When we returned, our home was just as we left it. We greatly appreciate being able to relax and enjoy ourselves while away, knowing our girls are in good hands with Kirsten.

Kirsten was just wonderful: our insecure Penny adored her. Kirsten sent photos of Penny on her lap (a true sign of adoration!). Kirsten “doggy-sat” Tues-Sat in our home. Our home was left in perfect order, and Penny loved Kirsten’s TLC with walks and car rides and ball playing. We definitely will request Kirsten in the future. She a 10/10!
