Will love your dog like my own!!
Growing up, my friends always called me the dog whisperer because wherever I went, the dogs would just flock to me (and I to them). I’d been bugging my husband Corey to let me get another dog but the timing just wasn’t right. So in July of 2019, he encouraged me to sign up to become a Rover sitter and here I am! We started out in Illinois and moved to California in March, 2020. In August, 2023 we relocated to Louisiana! We have 2 kids, both boys - ages 5 and 2 and they LOVE when dogs sleep over. I work from home so I can guarantee lots of attention for your pup! We live in a house with lots of space for running around and we have a partially fenced yard - it’s fenced in the front for safety but we have a woodsy backyard and we chose not to fence it in because our former dog loved to explore. The back is completely away from traffic but if your dog is known to run away, we will of course take extra precautions during potty breaks. Our dog Whiskey passed away in May 2026 and he was our child so it will be a long time before we’re ready to get another dog. But Rover has been incredibly healing following Whiskey’s loss and I’m so grateful I can still have dogs in my life through this service. My family is very active and we love being outside so you can be sure that your dog will still get several walks every day in addition to so much play time, petting and love! We are very easy-going and accommodating so we will work with you to make sure you have full peace of mind while your dog is in our care! And I will send tons of pictures and videos during your dog’s stay! All that being said, it would be an absolute honor to care for your dog while you’re away, and I promise you will not regret it! Thanks! Kirsten and Corey

Ratings and reviews
It was the first time my dog was left around kids. She did amazing and knew how to handle things. She kept me updated twice a day. My dog got to play with plenty of toys and when I finally picked her up from the house she was very tired and worn out on the way home. She had jumped up on me and got excited when I showed up. They made sure I had all of her stuff ready to put in my car. Now my dog has experience being around young ones. I was also able to pick her up earlier than the set time I had. Got back from vacation earlier than I thought. Extended the time out just in case.
We went on an extended vacation for over one month. Our Golden Doodle Prince is part of our family. In the past, we put him in a couple of different kennels with mixed results, but never felt comfortable. This vacation we left him with Kirsten. We received photos everyday. Prince was loved, walked, and cared for by her entire family. When we used kennels in the past, it would take Prince several days to get back to normal. After over a month with Kirsten, similar to summer camp for kids, we brought Prince home and he was his normal self. Thank you Kirsten for taking such good care of Prince.
Kristin did a great job taking care of Barney. Regular updates and photos. Thanks again
Could not ask for anyone or anything nicer or better. From the photos, Jazz was well cared for and fit right in with the family, including the resident dog. Makes us want to take another trip just to have Jazz stay with Kirsten again!
Kirsten W. thank you so much for the care and attention you provided to William. William is part of my family and I appreciate that you made him feel welcomed into your family. He enjoyed playing with you and your son. We look forward to his next visit! Thank you and your whole family!
Kirsten was AMAZING with our sweet boy TBuddy. He wasn’t feeling very well and she updated me several times a day on his care. She has such a kind and loving heart and it def showed. Tbuddy had a great visit and we will be using her again. You should as well! Emily Kercheval

Schedule
I work full time from home so I’m around to let your pup out as many times as needed and your dog will get at least 2 walks a day!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
At night, your pup will sleep in our bedroom on one of our many dog beds (unless your dog typically sleeps in a crate). During the meet and greet, we always ask what rules you have for your pup so that we can follow them to the best of our ability (i.e. you don’t allow your dog on the couch, no human food, etc.)
A typical day
We’ll do lots of playing in the house/our large backyard and we’ll go on as many walks as needed based on the weather/your pups energy level.
