Highlights
Pet care experience
Holistic Pet Care
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.

Ratings and reviews
Kirsten and her family were fantastic! I knew my pup was in the best of care, got lots of attention and activity, and good communication and updates on top of that. Thanks Kirsten.
Kirsten and her family were great. My dog enjoyed numerous wonderful walks and play dates while I received enjoyable pictures and videos to let me know she was in good hands.
Kirsten and Nic are just awesome. Super diligent, accommodating and kind people. They took really good care of Theo on an overnight boarding. Sent us plenty of updates and some great photos, so we rested easy he was in great hands. Will absolutely re-book.
Judy had another wonderful stay with Kirsten & her family!
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!!!

Schedule
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.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have both a fenced-in front and back yard, but also have long extension cables/leashes we use to ensure they are safe/secure. We live close to dog parks/fields and have great elevation in the neighbourhood to maximize walks.
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).
