Pawsitively the best for all pets!!
Pet care experience
I have personally taken care of a wide range of animals over the past few decades! I grew up with my father always having a farm/farm animals and a horse during my yonger years. Had the best puggle furbaby for 14 years that had gone completely blind at the young age of 7 years old. However, that didn't stop her from being little miss independent and being full of personality for the last 1/2 of her life! <3 I also spent 5 years helping raise/take care of Doggos. (LARGE breed) I now have an 8-month-old Maine Coon, who is super chill and acts more like a dog than a cat but grew up with Himalayans. In between all of my own animals, I have cat/dog sat for many friends & family members and would hands down pet sit for just about anyone because furbabies are the absolute best!!! :)
Reviews
Kirstin took great care of our two dogs and was attentive and responsive!
Kirstin was absolutely wonderful with our two pups. They got lots of good walks and play time in the yard with her. She kept them on their normal routine while we were away. She was also very thoughtful in leaving everything in the house so clean and neat when she left like she wasn’t even here! We really appreciate her and would definitely have her back!

Safety, trust & environment
My Home: - Extra-large crate available. - Just under an acre with a nice big yard. (Not fenced at this time) - Lovely little neighborhood for walks (mostly flat with a small hill down one of the roads) and a private road/path between my yard and the farm behind me that I can also use for walks. - If your pup enjoys fresh air, I have a 2nd story back deck with "catio fencing" and a baby gate for the stairs. - I have an 8-month-old Maine Coon kitten who runs the household, but she was completely fine when my sister's pit bull recently stayed over for 2 weeks. **FOR DOGS: When I leave the house, I always lock my cat up in my bedroom and would put pups in the extra-large crate (or client provided crate) to ensure all animals were safe and sound while temporarily away. :) **FOR CATS: I would lock up my cat in my bedroom and have another bedroom w/ bathroom (for their own litterbox/food/water) that would be dedicated for your furbaby! The bedroom has 2 windows that they can enjoy looking out of as well! :) Client's Home: - Trust and respect are a HUGE must in my book and I feel this should be reciprocated for all/both parties!! Just tell me the do's and don'ts and I will respectively adhere! :)
Home
Information Kirstin S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if there are any specifics that I need to know about your furbaby!! After having a pup that was blind for half of her life, I personally know and understand the importance of accommodating these pets to make them feel comfortable and at ease! I even own a proper stroller that can be used to take smaller dogs with special needs on "walks"/strolls around the neighborhood!
A typical day
I live in an awesome little neighborhood with a farm directly behind my property that has a private road in between so there are plenty of walking paths/roads directly surrounding my home! If it's raining outside, cuddles on the couch! If your pup isn't allowed on the couch, no worries! I can place their bed close by so they still feel comfortable when not at home! :)

Availability
I recently parted ways with my full-time job in order to focus on real estate/investment properties, so my schedule is now extremely flexible and why I decided to pick up pet sitting!! I love driving so driving to and from to take care of pets is not an issue for me either!! :)
