Supporting pet health & happiness!

Pet care experience

Hello! Thank you for your interest in my pet care services. I am well versed in many aspects of animal care; I was employed as a Veterinary Technician at a local animal hospital for three years, exercised and led enrichment activities for special care dogs at a pet hotel in San Francisco, and am a trained volunteer at the local animal shelter. I love to be around animals no matter the type or size, and have worked with reptiles, small mammals, canines, and felines. I recently graduated from the University of California, Davis, and plan to pursue a career in Veterinary Medicine. My availability is flexible and I would love to spend as much time as possible with your furry family members! I have two lovely male dogs at home who like to have the house to themselves, and so I would be more than happy to visit and/or stay with your pet where they are most comfortable: at home! I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have, and I respond quickly to any messages/calls! I hope to see you and your furry friend soon!

Kirstin did a brilliant job taking care of our dog and home! We came home to a clean house, and she even brought packages inside. She sent regular updates, photos, and stories. We know that our dog missed her the first night she wasn't there. Very grateful to have someone we trust and that our dog loves to reach out to now!

Great dog and house sitter. She kept us up to date with cute photos and reassurance that our pup was happy at home. Took everything into consideration when it came to our high maintenance pug. Kirstin will definitely be our go to sitter!

On time and communicative sitter who took our dog for multiple walks in an evening and was attentive to his needs. Would be happy to work with her again.

Kirstin is sweet, conscientious, and just a joy to work with. My dogs love her and so do I. I 100% recommend her.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for your pet in your home, I will do everything possible to maintain their normal routine, and thus minimize the stress of them being away from you! I ask for detailed sitting guides before the beginning of each stay to ensure that your pet’s experience is as smooth as possible.

Information Kirstin C. would like to know about your pet

I would be happy to learn anything and everything about your pet, from their favorite toy or treat, to how they respond to new people, and how I can provide both you and them with the most enjoyable experience. I welcome every animal with open arms, though I have a deep love for large dogs!

A typical day

Whether your dog is as busy as a bee or a total couch potato, we will have a blast! I have favored spots for leisurely walks, more active hikes, and safe and enjoyable parks. I am also happy to take your pet to a spot that you are fond of! While at home, playing with toys or cuddling up are some of my favorite things to do, as well as whatever you or your pet has in mind!
