Kirstin's Dog Sitting
Pet care experience
Hi, Im Kirstin. I am a 26 year old Nurse who is obsessed with dogs, “weird” pets, and farm animals. Ever since I was born, our house has always had pets. I currently have 2 sweet dogs - Blaze, 4yo Boarder Collie, and Winnie, 1yo Aussie Doodle; and Fin, our 1yo cat. I have been house sitting on Rover for a few years and have met some amazing pets and people along the way! No dog is too big or too small for me! From greyhounds, working dogs, little puppies, a few beautiful hens, and even some fainting goats! I currently work casual as a nurse, so my hours fluctuate. I can always pop in the house throughout the day when Im working if your little one needs out frequently or doesn’t like to be alone. Drop in visits available during high peak times / if night visits are booked - please reach out if you have any requests for custom sitting schedules. Flexible schedule if requested for 24hr care. Negotiable on rates and services for longer stays, special needs, multiple animals, etc. Thank you for reading my profile and I hope to hear from you soon!
Reviews
Kristin is amazing!! Charlie is our rescue and in 3 years we had never left her with anyone and we were very nervous because we tried a daycare once and she did not do well. Kristin did a meet and greet with Charlie and our other dog, Ollie, who is a very chill dog. The meet and greet went well so we scheduled an evening for her to stay with the dogs for a few hours and that also went well. She recently had the dogs for 5 days and we are beyond pleased with how well it went. We got to meet Kristin's 2 sweet dogs and did a dog meet and greet with them as well. Kristin has a very calm demeanor about her and that really helped to put us and our dogs at ease. She was able to take our dogs to her cottage with her dogs and they all got along fine and Charlie and Ollie were good and tired by the time we got home. Kristin made sure our cat, Sarah, was well taken care of also. We will absolutely be getting her to take care of our pets again and are already planning our next trip away.
Kirstin was fantastic, sending me updates & photos during our vacation for our cat Maggie. 10/10 would recommend hiring her for your own pet(s)! The house was spotless when we returned & Maggie was a very happy cat.
Kirsten did an awesome job at my house with my dogs they didnt even miss me. I look forward to the next time i can go away and hire kirsten to watch daisy and lily
Our booking with Kirstin was an ideal sitting experience. Communication was efficient and courteous. She was flexible, professional, and receptive to all of our needs. Both Watson and our home were very well taken care of, and we hope to book with her again in the future.
