Each and every pet welcomed as if they were my own

Pet care experience

I have always grown up with animals in the house, particularly dogs. They're a part of the family. I qualified as a veterinary surgeon in 1997 and currently work as a veterinary acupuncturist. I worked in small animal practice for many years so animals and in particular dogs have, and always will be a very big part of me and my life. Due to family commitments I am unable to commit to the responsibility of a dog full time right now but I have lots of free time every day to care for your pet and enjoy walking in any weather. There are many varied walks available nearby from grassland to woods to beaches. Every pet that stays or visits will benefit from enrichment to their environment which includes scatter feeding, lickimats and sniff-aris (to name a few!) I can provide a variety of services depending on your needs - dog boarding, doggy day care, dog walking and drop in visits. I also provide care for cats and small furries. New owner/pet bookings will benefit from £15 off their first booking by clicking on this direct profile link https://www.rover.com/sit/kirsth40895 and entering the promotional code KIRSTH40895. I look forward to meeting you and your pets :)

We've just collected Poppy from Kirsty after a week and although she was pleased to see us she kept running into the house and collecting toys and running around Kirsty! She clearly loved her holiday with Kirsty and her boys which was evident in the daily and numerous photos! It was so reassuring to see how well Poppy was getting on while we were abroad and made our holiday stress free knowing that she was being so well looked after. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Kirsty. She's brilliant!🥰

I would like to know dietary requirements and if your pet needs any medication. I would also like to know if your dog has trouble with anything eg loud noises, other dogs, traffic etc

I have many walks available on my doorstep from woodland or grassland to beaches. I love walking and am happy to walk your dog for as long as you'd like me to. I have four children so there's never any shortage of someone to throw a ball!
