Run, hike, walk, cuddle, I'm there!

Pet care experience

I am interested in helping busy people provide care for their dogs while selfishly fulfilling my desire to spend time with these wonderful animals. I'd like to describe my experience with dogs, my availability, and why I will be right for your dog! I had 3 rambunctious medium-large sized dogs growing up so have experience with raucous playtime. I've also worked at a doggy playcare/boarding facility where I gained experience walking dogs with various levels of training and breeds, from dog aggressive to anxious to overly excited, chihuahua to great danes. I believe that getting to know your dog and what they prefer when they walk will give both of us the best experience. I am open to dogs who need to get out energy and prefer long hikes, dogs who like to meander around the neighborhood sniffing the smells, dogs that want personalized cuddles and attention, and anything in between. Each dog interacts with strangers differently and I believe in getting to know your dog's preference to provide them with fulfilling exercise and social time. I work early hours from 5AM-2PM, but am interested in working with dogs before and after work, in the afternoons and evenings, and on weekends. I live in Beaverton and work in St. Johns, so I am willing to travel around to meet your dog and your schedule. I am comfortable driving dogs in my car if that is desired.

Kjersti has been great! Trace loves her stays with him and always has so much fun while I am away! She is also great at sending updates while I am gone! Thank you Kjersti!

Kjersti followed my written instruction to the tee. Sammy was very relaxed when I returned home.

I highly recommend Kjersti to walk and/or care for your dog(s). I would trust her with my own dogs without hesitation. She was a dog walker at a boarding kennel where I am the Lead. She's experienced with all breeds, mixes, and temperaments. She genuinely cares and is attentive and reliable. Choose Kjersti.

I can’t say enough about how amazing Kjersti has been with my Australian Shepherd, Scout. My dog is incredibly nervous around new people and comes off as aggressive. That said, Scout warmed up to Kjersti extremely quickly. I attribute this to Kjersti’s confidence around dogs and her understanding of their behaviors. Kjersti has looked after Scout many times. Leaving your dog with someone can be a stressful experience, but Kjersti puts my mind at ease; not only is Scout safe, she is also loved. (I always notice that her fur is substantially silkier when I come back home. That’s a lot of brushing!) Many people love dogs, but what sets Kjersti apart is her ability to read their behavioral cues and understand what they need. I’d recommend her any day!
