I am on maternity leave and my partner works from home one day a week. Between the two of us, we would be able to provide both morning, day time, and evening walks/check-ins every day of the week. We dog sit for family members and friends all of the time, and love embracing pets into our routines.

A typical day

I love to ensure that all pets needs are met. - physical, mental, social etc. so take pride in engaging them in both indoor and outdoor activities. My partner, son, and I love playing catch/fetch in addition to long walks and off-leash dog parks (if okay with/approved by owner).

Holistic Pet Care

Pet care experience

Everyone in our home LOVES animals. Your pets will get all the affection, and walks. Our 4 year old son cannot get enough of dogs, and provides great exposure for animals to become familiar/socialize with small children. He has a very approachable demeanour, knows to put his hand out and let them smell, and is confident with all sizes. We also have a 10 month old who we want to continue exposing to dogs - she is a huge dog fan and so far very comfortable around all breeds and sizes we’ve hosted. Between my partner and I, we aim for 20,000 steps/day without a dog... so would love to add another four legs (or more) to our count. Taking in and loving other people's dogs is a great fit for us right now, as we determine what kind of dog to get for ourselves.

Kirsten, Nic and their wee crew took the very best care of Gilly. He was so happy with them, it felt like a coming home. They are the loveliest family - I could not have asked for more!

Kirsten immediately made me feel so comfortable leaving Max with her! She sent videos and photos throughout the day & when I picked up Max at the end of the day, he was a tired pup. Will be rebooking with her!!!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
