Responsible, fun & loving, pet carer.

Pet care experience

I'm often described as very compassionate, highly attentive and attuned to dogs needs. They love me and I love them. I love going the extra mile for you and your 4 legged family members, to ensure you feel peace of mind knowing that your furry family member is in good hands and even having a mini pampering holiday herself (/himself)! I have a fully enhanced and clear DBS Check - evidencing my good nature. I'm happy to provide this on request. I provide a highly individualised service, to cater for you and your pets needs. Requests for one-to-one care are welcome and I only take a maximum of two dogs at a time, unless the dogs are from the same owner/family - please enquire for more details. I'm passionate about ensuring both your dogs happiness and your satisfaction. I genuinely love giving dogs lots of attention and engaging with them in the ways in which they and you prefer. For example, plenty of walks, play and affection. I also welcome feedback and look for ways to enhance your pets happiness further. I have cared for dogs for over twenty years. I am practised at reading and managing situations well. For example, I rescued a German Shepherd dog, who presented as very nervous, she also received a diagnosis of epilepsy. I managed potential challenges; trained her; and regularly took her for physiotherapy and hydrotherapy as a preventative measure in relation to a predisposition for hip dysplasia. She was very intelligent and needed a lot of mental and physical stimulation. Alongside a special diet, medication, grooming, playing and lots of love. I am a responsible dog carer, with many years of experience. I am practised at identifying and proactively managing potentially challenging situations. Such as reading others body language in the environment and how to keep your pets and others safe and happy. If you have any questions or would like to discuss how I may cater to you and your pets needs, you're more than welcome to contact me.

Honestly could not rate & recommend Kirsty highly enough…. From our initial messages, to meet and greet through to collecting Luna from her first night away, Kirsty was so so kind, considerate and professional. The care she provided to Luna was second to none. Kirsty is so knowledgeable when it comes to all thing dog and their care - her passion for, and connection with, dogs really does shine through in every part of her work. Luna came home such a happy, content girl having had amazing walks, attention and play time. Kirsty accommodated to all Lunas needs and the updates and photos we received were very much appreciated. We were able to relax knowing that Luna was in the safest hands. Luna can’t wait for next time already ?❤️ thank you, Kirsty.

Honestly the best dog sitter we've ever had. Our border collie is such an anxious dog and is very reactive on a lead and it gave me such high anxiety leaving him with someone because I'm aware of the opinions of leach reactive dogs. Kirsty was AMAZING. From the minute we got there and how the dogs reacted to her I felt instantly at ease, she gave me such reassurance and we went for a test walk and she has such confidence around animals. Throughout the weekend regardless of whether we replied or not, she sent many photos of their walks and them playing and one before night time to let us know they'd settled. She took all of our worries away and did a fantastic job. Would recommend her to absolutely anybody!!

Kirsty has just looked after our greyhound, Kuro, for a week. I can't thank her enough for the outstanding care she has given him. She has made every possible effort to make sure he's happy and healthy and has been a pleasure to deal with in every way.

Kirsty is just wonderful. Her love, care and attention for her four-legged lodgers is incredible. She provides regular photo updates of their adventures so we can see how Dexter is getting on and he always looks so happy! He can’t wait to go back. If we could give more than 5 stars, we definitely would!!!
