Responsible Dog Sitter! Love dogs!

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Kirsten and I want to be your dog sitter. I have been around dogs my whole life, and have experience dog sitting dogs of all sizes from a 5 pound yorkie to an 80 pound Pitbull to a 130 pound Great Dane. I can handle dogs of all sizes with ease. As an experienced dog sitter, I have experience giving dogs their medications and have given shots in the past when it is required. I keep dogs on their daily routine of eating and exercise. I also make sure the dog gets plenty of exercise! A little about me- I am currently a graduate student pursuing my MBA. My schedule is flexible. I also have a friendly yellow lab that gets a long with all dogs that is always looking for a buddy. If you have any questions please let me know and I'd be more than happy to answer them for you!

Kirsten is very reliable. She took good care of Juliet while I was away. Received daily picture & report. Definitely will use Kirsten again if she is available. Thanks Kirsten!

Kirsten was a very considerate house guest and took great care of our pets! She moved around her daily schedule to accommodate the needs of our dog. We appreciate her going that extra mile to make sure our house was taken care of and our animals were happy!

Kirsten was great! She was very communicative and prompt with replies and while we were gone sent us updates everyday with pictures of our puppers. At the conclusion of the visit she left a recap of the stay and handled an inconvenient situation perfectly. We will definitely be looking to have Kirsten again!

I strongly suggest hiring Kirstin to watch your dogs. She watched our two large dogs and house-sat over a weekend in Fall 2014. One of our dogs is difficult to manage (eats garbage, variable with bathroom abilities, barks a lot, etc), and our house was still in perfect condition when we returned-- which is often more than I can handle myself! Even more impressive-- they were calm when we returned! I know they got plenty of exercise and love while we were gone. Kirstin clearly not only loves dogs, but understands their needs as well. I have no doubts that she will care for other dogs as well as she cared for Louie and Penny.

I like to spend time with dogs. I will hang out with them a lot such as watch TV with them inside. But, I will also play fetch (or whatever kind of play that the dog prefers) or take them for long walks. I will also feed them on their regular food schedule.
