Pet care experience
Experienced & Caring Dog Sitter
Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with two pups of my own, Wilma and Poppy, who are a big part of my daily life. I’ve been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember, regularly looking after family and friends’ pets of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog with someone who will treat them like family. Whether your pup loves long adventurous walks, playtime and enrichment, or simply snuggling up on the sofa for cuddles, I’m happy to tailor their care to what makes them happiest. Having my own dogs has given me plenty of hands-on experience with different temperaments and routines, so I’m comfortable adapting to each dog’s individual needs. My goal is always to make sure every dog in my care feels safe, loved, and right at home. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! 🐾

Safety, trust & environment
I currently offer pet sitting in the owner’s home, as I find pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own environment and routine. Before any booking, I always arrange an initial meet-up so we can get to know each other, make sure it’s a good fit, and go through your pet’s routine, needs, and any important details. During the sit, I focus on keeping things as normal as possible for your pet – whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication if needed, or plenty of cuddles and company.
Ratings and reviews
Second time Kirsten has looked after our 2 dogs, cat and chicken. They all love her and she is generally fabulous. Highly recommend her for all your pet sitting needs.
Kirsten was fabulous. Our dogs and cat (and chicken) all were very happy. Well walked and cared for, Kirsten even did a little painting of them which will soon be framed and hung on the wall. Would happily recommend her to others and will be booking again.
Kirsten is a huge animal lover, any animal big or small she always has time for it & a whole lot of love. Would absolutely recommend Kirsten at any time to look after my pets! She sets up a meet to ensure she gets to know your pet(s) before she agrees to a booking & I think that is genuinely so thoughtful for the animals wellbeing. Fair prices & fab service also is a bonus. Would absolutely recommend Kirsten to anyone!
Kirsten pet sat our dog Bailey in Oct 2025. She is a lovely friendly, capable and trustworthy girl. She was very good with Bailey and Bailey was very happy and well cared for. I would definitely get Kirsten to pet sit again.
Kirsten loojed after my older girl Bonny fir a few weekends. She was obviously a dog lover. Made us feel confident. Our dog suffers from anxiety and she had her wagging her tail immediately. So good to find someone to trust in our iwn home
Is a caring and respectful dog walker, takes are dog out for good long walks at different locations so she doesnt get bored. My dog gets so excited to see her as she has cultivated a loving relationship with her.

Schedule
I work as a support worker during the week and usually finish at 3pm, so I’m available for dog walks and pet visits from mid-afternoon onwards. I’m generally free most weekends as well, which means I can offer plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, or extra care when you need it. After-work walkies are absolutely welcome!

- Tell me about your pet’s personality, routines, favourite toys, walking style, and any quirks. I love tailoring walks, playtime, and care to what makes them happiest.
