Loving & Experienced Pet Caregiver

Hi, I’m Kirstin! I’m a lifelong animal lover with professional pet sitting experience and a passion for making pets feel safe, happy, and loved—whether it’s for a quick walk or a week-long stay. ✨ What I offer: • Administering medications (oral, topical, etc.) • Walks and playtime tailored to your pet’s energy level • Baths upon request • Vet visits if needed (especially while you’re away) • In-home stays to keep your pets comfortable and stress-free • Experience with dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments 🐾 I worked for a professional pet sitting company in San Antonio for over a year, caring for more than 15 families and their beloved pets. I’ve also grown up with both dogs and cats, so this is truly second nature to me. Whether your pup loves to run or your cat prefers a quiet cuddle, I adapt to their unique needs and personalities. When you book with me, your pets will be in caring, capable hands—and you’ll have peace of mind while you’re away. Let’s make sure your pet gets all the love and care they deserve!

Safety, trust & environment

• I have a fully fenced yard, perfect for safe outdoor play and exercise. • Your pet will have plenty of company—I live with three friendly dogs and a cat who love to meet new friends! If your pet prefers their own space, I can easily accommodate that too. • We have kennels/crates available for pets who are crate-trained or need a secure space while we’re briefly away from the house.

Amazing as always! Dogs were happy while we were away and we had no doubt they were being taken care of! Thanks again, already planning our next getaway and will book again!

Easy to communicate with. Our kitty got all of the attention he craves while we were gone. This was our first time using Rover/Kirsten and I would book with her again!

Really good with my elderly cat who’s afraid of the whole world. Took the time to come and meet her before we left for a week, and took the time to find her every day to send a picture. Even when I asked if she could water my flowers she did! Totally recommend

Kirstin went above and beyond for us! We had a last minute emergency vet visit the night before going out of town. She took care of administering our dog’s medications, checked on his wound, and gave us updates (with pics) and peace of mind. This is our 2nd time booking Kirstin and we highly recommend her! She communicates wonderfully and is very dependable. 💜

• Please let me know about your pet’s daily routine, including feeding times, walk preferences, and any quirks I should be aware of! • I’m happy to give medications, so let me know if your pet needs any and how they take them best. • If your pet has any behavioral issues (e.g., leash reactivity, chewing, separation anxiety), I’d love to know in advance so I can provide the best care possible. • I love active dogs, and we have plenty of toys and balls for playtime—just let me know what your pet enjoys most! • For dogs that will be walked, please provide a secure harness or leash that they’re comfortable with. • I treat all pets like family and want to keep your routines as close to normal as possible. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priority. Communication is key, so feel free to share anything that helps me provide the best care!
