Pet care experience

Ever need someone to watch your beloved pets while you're out of town? Ever need someone to walk your dogs when times are tough or busy at work? I am your girl! I am Kirsten, a Veterinary Nurse. My profile is named after my border collie who had passed away about six years ago. I own one cat who was initally a foster but turned out to be my forever kitten. I also own two dogs who are super energetic. I am doing this because I love dogs, cats, and many other animals and I want to make them as comfortable as possible while their loved ones are away. I currently work at a Veterinary clinic so I have experience administering most medications. * I cannot diagnose your pet...but I can offer some advice. So if you need a sitter just message me, schedule a meet and greet, and we will sort out all of the details!

Kristen was fantastic and loved by all the animals. We'd have her back anytime!

Kristen was great and my pup had a great time. She has a great backyard and a nice puppy of her own. You could tell the whole family loves pets and treated our pup as one of their own. We got some great pictures which made us feel really good that he was doing well. It was also great how responsive she was on any questions or comments we had.

Kristen is very sweet. She came by for a meet and greet and I could tell instantly she was an animal person and didn't have to worry about Layla while I was away. She did a great job and I would definitely use her again!

Safety, trust & environment

If I have pet's in my home (boarding - currently not available), then I'd do as much as I can to make them feel comfortable as I anticipate they may be stressed in a new environment with out their owners. I would do the same if I were in your home (house sitting - currently available) and find things we can do whether it's playing with their toys or going on walks.

Information Kirsten O. would like to know about your pet

I dont have any breed preferences. But , I would like to know how the dog is around other animals like cats, other dogs, birds, anything. Just so I can prepare for whatever happens.

A typical day

If the dog were to stay with me, we would go around a high school I live by and walk around it. If they're up for it and no one is there, I could take them to the football field and let them run as much as their hearts desire.
