i have recently transitioned from my long-time career job to a very part-time gig and have plenty of time and energy to work with dogs and their people. Many days I can be available last minute but advance notice is preferred.

Safety, trust & environment

Dogs need time to adjust to a new environment or person and I work with them to ease any anxiety then progress from there to trust and adventure. Plenty of exercise geared to their fitness level is key to their wellbeing as well as structured play. Dogs like routine so I try to match what they are used to as much as possible.

Information Kirstin P. would like to know about your pet

Please tell me of any special needs or circumstances your dog has. I can take them to places to avoid other dogs if necessary and I'm attuned to anxiety and energy needs.

A typical day

Walks along the creek behind my house and/or hiking one of Moab's beautiful trails are in the cards for your pup. All tailored to your dog's energy needs.

Pet care experience

I have a way with dogs and will happily escort your pup on walks, hikes and can board them in my home which is dog friendly with a large back yard for play. I've lived in Moab and roamed the trails for over 30 years with canine companions of all types including puppies and seniors and understand the needs of all ages of dogs. I do now have a year old female dog who loves meeting new dogs and isn't overly energetic but rather more submissive than dominant with others. I can also help with basic training using both voice and hand commands.

Kirstin was wondering with our little Yorkie. She was great managing his anxiety.

Kirstin was communicative and took great care of my dog. Would book with her again in a heartbeat!

Kirstin was able to accommodate my last minute request when my initial plans fell through for my pup! Her communication and overall care for my dog last minute was beyond what I expected. Very grateful and would absolutely recommend her without hesitation.
