Pet care experience
* A little note and update. Unfortunately my mom passed away last year and I have moved to Langford BC for a new beginning. So to any previous clients from Burlington that I haven’t spoken to before my move - I’m unfortunately no longer living there. It was a pleasure to work with you ! Everything else below holds true. Please read my profile carefully before booking to make sure I’m a good fit for your dog. I have over 18 years experience caring for animals. I’m an intuitive energy ( Reiki Master ) healer which allows me to connect and understand your dog’s needs at a deeper level. If your dog is nervous or afraid of new people and/ or surroundings, i’m able to calm them with a little energy treatment. I also have many years of teaching and practicing first aid under my belt, as well as 11years of caring for my first dog Charlie. Over all, I have a tremendous love and understanding of animals, which I believe makes me a great choice for caring for your beloved fur babies. I know how incredibly precious they are to you, and will ensure they are loved and cared for as if they were my own. I am writing a film, doing pack walks and running my energy healing business from home - which allows me a flexible schedule to give your animals the care they need. For overnight / daycare : we live in a coach house in Langford BC - a close drive to Royal Oak Beach. It’s such a beautiful, safe neighbourhood to explore and go for walks. Sooke Hills Wilderness Park is just 3mins away. Note there is a set of stairs leading up to my living space so for those dogs that can’t do stairs I might not be a good fit. I am available to sit at your home though if it’s easier.
Reviews
As usual, Kirsten was great. She takes great care of Ellie 💜
My dog Sky absolutely loved Kirsten the moment she met her. Sky stayed with Kirsten for a little over a week and I felt so at ease the whole time we were gone. Kirsten is so personable and you can just tell that she has the biggest heart ( especially for our furry friends)
Ellie loves her!! They spent Christmas together and Kirsten brought presents and homemade treats! How kind :)
Kirsten is amazing. Just a lovely spirit for your fur angel to hang out with. She’s attentive and kind and affectionate and Ellie clearly loves her. She’s also reliable and flexible. We feel really lucky to have found her. :)

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Dogs are always leashed and well cared for when out for walks. I don’t have a yard or anywhere they can escape from. Their safety will always be my first priority.
Home
Information Kirsten S. would like to know about your pet
Any behavioural issues I should be aware of ? Any issues with other dogs on walks ? What are their favourite treats, toys ? Any allergies or food sensitivities ? Any medical issues I should be aware of ? Any anxiety or fears that I should be aware of ? What is their regular feeding/ walk schedule ? * I like to keep their routine the same as their regular schedule to reduce the stress on your beloved animals. Does your dog like to get into anything that I should take precautions for ? * eg. Kleenex, garbage, counter surfing
A typical day
Walks by the Ocean. Dog friendly Hikes and playtime for higher energy dogs. Nothing strenuous when temperatures are high. Playing fetch or other mind stimulating games. Not all dogs are the same, so discovering what games they like and creating activities around that.

I’m currently working from home writing my film. My schedule is flexible, so I have plenty of time for play and walks. Your pet is always my first priority though and I will customize my days around their schedule and care.
