Dog Lover working from home
Pet care experience
I am a passionate dog lover. Responsible, caring, attentive and experienced in caring for dogs. Living in Glendale, CA I share a large apartment (lots of running and playing space) with my boyfriend and our 2 pups. Max, a 15 LB Rat Terrier mix and Stevie (girl, named after our beloved Stevie Nicks) a 8 LB Chihuahua mix. Both dogs are well socialized and do well with other pups. Dogs staying with us must be friendly with Max and Stevie. We require that any dog staying with us has been given a preventative flea treatment within the last 30 days. I do not take in very young puppies, any dog staying with us must be fully up to date on all vaccinations. This is to ensure the safety of all dogs who stay with us. I work from home, occasionally taking meetings outside the home for a few hours a day. Working from home allows me to give lots of attention to the pups. We go for frequent short walks, on average 5-6 a day. Typically to break up the day from being one long nap, we have 2-3 playtimes full of LOTS of toys. We love to cuddle with the pups on the couches while we lounge. However we prefer all dogs sleep in their own beds, but in our bedroom is okay. Upon leaving the house, I separate all dogs using doors and baby gates, just to ensure the safety of everyone. Dogs that are well behaved and fully potty trained can hang out in their beds while home alone. If need be I have a small dog crate that can be used. We have a large apartment (about 1200 sq ft) with lots of windows. We usually keep the windows open (we are not on the ground floor) with about 5 fans running throughout the house. In case of very hot temps we have 2 rooms with AC.
Reviews
We are SO PLEASED to have found Kirstie! Our previous Rover dog sitter moved out of the country, and it was so sad to have to find someone new, but Kirstie is the perfect new sitter for us! She took great care of our dog and sent us a few pictures per day so we could feel connected still. She had a very minor health concern about our dog and communicated it to us right away which makes us feel so good because we can rest easy. Her place is also really spacious which our dog LOVED because she could run around and explore. I highly recommend Kirstie -- we will absolutely be using her again!
Kirstie is a true dog lover and my dogs both took to her right away! She loves to spend time with all dogs and knows how to handle them responsibly. Whenever I have had her watch my dogs they have had a great time and I never have to worry. I know they look forward to seeing her and I know I can trust they are in good hands with Kirstie!
