About Kinsey

Hi, I'm Kinsey! I'm a 28 year old designer originally from California- I moved here 5 years ago to get my Master's and have now transitioned to working life. I currently live in an apartment in Trudering with my cat Susha, who I brought with me from California, and our three rats Kiwi, Apple, and Mango.

I'm a lifelong animal lover- I grew up on a ranch with a veterinarian mother (good news for you, I have a vet on speed dial 24/7!) and at one point or another have raised dogs, cats, horses, chickens, goats, rabbits, rats, guinea pigs, and exotic birds. Over the years I've done house and pet sitting for all kinds of creatures from rabbits to dogs to horses. Since I love animals and don't nearly have the zoo I hope to someday have at home, what better way to supplement my income than by petsitting?

I'm comfortable around all types of creatures no matter the breed or how big or small. I know how to enforce (gently) good leash behavior, administer medicine (if I can give my cat daily hairball medicine, who turns into a tornado with claws, I can do anything), brush and trim nails, and most importantly make sure that everyone is safe and happy.

I know how precious pets are to their owners, and I also know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your pet in the care of someone else when you're away. So if I'm looking after your little one, my first priority is making sure that they're happy and healthy and that you can rest easy knowing that they're well taken care of-evidenced by lots of photos! I'm also happy to work on your pet's training, do some basic grooming, or take care of other small things around your house (plants, mail) by request. I'll spend as much time as I need to make sure that everyone is doing well, and since every animal's social needs are different, I like to discuss the exact time length on a case-by-case basis.

At the moment, I'm mostly only capable of offering sitting or walking services. Our neighborhood has tons of great parks for walks or playtime nearby! I'm happy to go on longer (hour+) or short walks as requested, and I'm a well-practice ball-thrower and tug-of-war-player. I'm generally available in the mornings or evenings on the weekday or anytime on the weekend. I live in Trudering but work in Obersendling, so something in the vicinity of either of those neighborhoods is most doable for me. Please note that dog boarding is ONLY available if your dog is trustworthy with cats.

Kinsey was a lifesaver: she helped me at the last minute, she took care of things beyond just the cats. Communication was excellent, got great pictures and videos :D

Kinsey was excellent with my dog, Jessie. She sent lovely updates every now and then, including videos of her on walks and reassuring pictures of my dog staying calm through thunderstorms. She seemed very caring, and Jessie looked relaxed and comfortable in her presence. Would highly recommend :)

Familiar with dog training techniques
I've been working with animals my whole life- a Labrador taught me to walk! I've fostered and rescued dogs and cats and raised rabbits, rats, guinea pigs, goats, horses, and birds. I've taken multiple dogs through obedience training and know how to teach and enforce basic commands and leash walking training. I've even taught my cat some tricks! I also spent a few years volunteering at my local animal shelter in California, where I learned how to work with skittish/frightened dogs and cats and get them comfortable with strangers.
