I do not have a dog friendly place of my own to take care of your pet but I wish I did! Sorry about that.

Information Kjirsten S. would like to know about your pet

I love talking with dogs the way they know; let me know what commands your animal uses! I love to adventure and bring a dog with, let me know what the animal is comfortable with.

A typical day

We will go on neighborhood walks, visit dog parks, hike, play fetch, and watch tv together! Let me know what your usual day is and I'll try to match that.

Pet care experience

Hey hey, I'm Kjirsten (pronounced K-year-sten) and I grew up on 7 acres of dogs, cats, chickens, and the occasional stray neighbor horse in the middle of nowhere Alaska. I've taken care of everything from pullets to pigs, goats to guineas, and everything in between. Obviously also the main event; cats and dogs. I've raised two hunting dogs that are click, whistle, signal, and verbally trained and two cats that were both incredible mousers. Animals are my first love but I travel too much to have my own which I believe is a smart though sad decision. Help me curb my need for pet cuddles and walks all while supplying your fur baby with plenty of Tender Loving Care while you are busy or away!

Kjirsten was very accommodating on short notice and always responded quickly. She got along well with my dog.

Good reliable service, great communications. We needed a drop-in visit to let our dog out for a potty-break at our RV. KJ was great, she did a meet-and-greet the day before and came to the campground/RV. Great service needed in this area as many tours are all-day. Thanks KJ.
