Passionate Dog Lover

Pet care experience

I have watched dogs since I was in my early twenties and have a TRUE passion for them! I own two Labs; they are brothers from the same litter and are now 13 years old. I'm very flexible regarding availability and am home full time. I've walked up to 3 large/giant dogs together and feel confident in my ability to manage a variety of personalities/temperments. Also, I've learned a lot regarding dog psychology and behavior through reading books, watching the "Dog Whisperer" and attending training classes. I feel very comfortable giving medicine or caring for sick/disabled dogs; I watched one the day of her surgery for a week and dealt with several medications and post-op instructions. In a nutshell, I would love the opportunity to meet and care for your dogs!!

Kirsten has been great to work with! She’s super responsive and seems to genuinely love walking our pup! Our dog is high energy and she has been handling her with ease. We feel great about her as our go-to walker!

I have used Kristin several times and will continue to use. She is thoughtful, loves dogs, and her updates are great! When we returned back home, the house and everything was clean and in order. My dog was well loved and taken care of perfectly according to instructions.

Kirstin was wonderful during a drop in visit with my puppy. She was able to keep him calm despite his anxiety around strangers. We loved the photos she was able to send of the visit!

Safety, trust & environment

I keep a very watchful eye on all animals in my care. I have a fully fenced backyard at my home and the doors and gates are locked at all times. I never let them out of my sight!

Information Kirstin J. would like to know about your pet

I would just like to do a meet and greet with each new client and their dogs. If there are any behavioral issues or health conditions, we would be able to discuss them there. I really don't have any breed preferences; although I do love large dogs!

A typical day

I live in the midtown area and there are so many beautiful tree lined streets for walking, as well as Capitol Park, Fremont Park and the new BARK Park on 19th Street. Your dog will also be playing fetch, frisbee and tug of war with me! They should be going home tired and happy!!
