Highlights
Pet care experience
Special Needs Dog Expert
**I'm only available in the Wolseley, West end & St James, Osborne and surrounding areas for dog walks, drop-ins** I worked in the pet health industry for many years as a pet health insurance adviser and a pet health nutritionist. Not only have I had dogs & cats my whole life, I cared for my own disabled Italian greyhound named Milly for 11 years. I basically provided geriatric care for her on a daily basis, so nothing phases me. If your dog requires medication, I have no problem administrating it. My friends always say they wished someone loved them the way I love my dog, the Milly way. I'd be sure to give your dog the same love and care I give my own, plus all the photos you'd ever want!

Ratings and reviews
Kirsten is the perfect first sitter for Boo! I love how she sends pictures and videos of boo day to day, I can really tell that she loves her just as much as we do. So happy with the service and how well she’s fit in our lifestyle!
Kirsten is amazing and our puppy loves her always thinks it’s her knocking at the door and goes to check for her. He comes homes tired until I’m home from work!
Came home to a happy and tired puppy. Thanks Kirsten!
Great communication before and during, totally reliable and punctusl. Kirsten clearly loves animals.
I've known Kirsten for nearly a decade and through this time have seen her wear many different hats. The most prevalent hat of these, however, is that of animal caregiver. She has had several pets over the years and has always shown them love, compassion and has provided for them a safe and healthy home. I have also seen her interact with tons of other animals, and she has always offered them the same level of care and respect that she would her own pets. Further to all of this though, is the dedication she has to her current dog, Milly. Milly lives with a handful of disabilities, some to certain extremes that would cause other pet owners to jump ship. But not Kirsten. Kirsten has devoted her life to ensuring that Milly not only receives a standard quality of life, but that hers goes above and beyond. And I have seen Kirsten go above the regular call of duty for Milly, time and time again. I can say with confidence that Kirsten is the best person with whom you could entrust the care of your animal, and would also consider any animal fortunate to share their time with her.
Kirsten has an unbelievable amount of patience and love for animals. She takes incredible care of her high needs dog, always making sure that Milly is the priority. Kirsten has also cared for my cats when I'm travelling and I trust her immensely with their needs.

Safety, trust & environment
I always do the sniff test before I get too close to a dog. It’s important to me that they trust me. Always ensure dogs are in leashes in public areas.
A typical day
I love running, living with a greyhound that was our go to activity. But I am up for anything your dog likes to do especially long walks
