Highlights
Pet care experience
Let me help with your fur babies!!
Loving pet owner and dog foster looking to help take care of your fur babies. I have had family cats and dogs since I was little. I have also owned my own dogs during the course of my adulthood and I have been an approved foster for The Labrador Connection. I am able to also administer antibiotics and insulin should that be needed.

At this time I will not be caring for animals in my own home due to living in a small townhome and having a skittish cat.
Ratings and reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Care — A Truly Outstanding Rover Sitter I cannot say enough good things about Kirstin and the way she cared for my two dogs, Zoe and Zacy. She is, without question, one of the most professional, compassionate, and attentive sitters I have ever worked with. From the moment she arrived, it was clear that Kirstin has a natural gift with animals. She approached each dog with patience, warmth, and genuine affection. Zoe, who is older and recently had a neurological episode, requires very careful handling — especially with stairs and balance. Kirstin followed every instruction meticulously, treated her with gentleness and respect, and made sure she felt safe every moment. Her attentiveness gave me tremendous peace of mind. Zacy, energetic and full of personality, also bonded with her immediately. Kirstin understood his routine, managed his needs perfectly, and made sure both dogs felt calm, comfortable, and loved. What truly sets Kirstin apart is her communication. She updated me regularly, sent photos, and asked thoughtful questions when needed. I always knew my dogs were in excellent hands. Her professionalism, kindness, and dedication are exceptional. Caring for a senior dog and a small, active dog at the same time is not easy — yet Kirstin handled everything flawlessly and with a loving heart. I am profoundly grateful for the way she cared for Zoe and Zacy. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring, Kirstin is the person you want. I recommend her wholeheartedly and will absolutely be booking with her again.
Thank you so much for taking care if my crazy pack. Your kindness & compassion with my old Minnie attests to your large heart to make sure fur babies are safe and comfortable in their own homes. Highly recommend and will use in the future.
Kristin took fabulous care of our dogs! She left us detailed notes and took many pictures at each visit. I would highly recommend her and hope to use her again soon.
Kristin was wonderful with Bear while I was on vacation. It was wonderful not to have to worry while on vacation!
Repeat customer. My doggie’s have great visits with Kristin and I appreciate the update and photos. I feel relieved knowing they are in good hands.
I am so happy that my doggo’s had great visits with Kristin! I needed someone last minute and she was able to squeeze in a meet and greet. Great interaction then and made me comfortable with her past experiences with her own rescues. I will definitely will be having her come again.
