Pet care experience
A loving home away from home 🐾
Hi! I’m Kirsty, and I’m a huge animal lover with a particular soft spot for dogs. 🐶❤️ I’ve always loved dogs and spent my childhood wishing I could have one of my own. Unfortunately, allergies in my household meant that wasn’t possible growing up, so I made the most of every opportunity to spend time with friends’ and family members’ dogs. Thankfully, I’m now a very proud dog dad to Walter, my one year old pug! He’s incredibly friendly, playful and absolutely loves having other dogs around. He’s become a huge part of my life and has given me lots of hands-on experience caring for a young dog and everything that comes with it! I have a spacious, dog-friendly home and would love to welcome your furry family member into it. I want dogs staying with me to feel like they’re having a little holiday of their own, rather than simply being somewhere away from home. I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, affection, playtime, walks and, of course, cuddles! 🥰 I’m also very happy to follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medication, walks and any little habits that help them feel comfortable. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so communication is really important to me. I’m more than happy to send regular updates and photos so you can see exactly what your pup is getting up to while they’re with me ☺️ Every dog has their own personality and needs, and I’ll always take the time to get to know yours. Whether they’re an energetic ball of chaos, a professional cuddler, or somewhere in between, they’ll be treated like one of the family while they’re here. ❤️🐶
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I have used Kirsty’s services a handful of times and my boy could not be more taken care of. Kirsty made sure to get all the information needed for my dog’s care and was so attentive to his needs. I was kept updated throughout his stay and sent lots of pictures of him playing with her puppy Walter. I would 100% recommend Kirsty as a pet sitter.
I have known Kirsty for a number of years and they have always looked after my 2 dogs when I've needed them too. They have done check ins for me and send me lots of photos and videos from the visits. There was one visit where Kirsty picked up on one of my dogs being stung by a bee and they took them to the vets and dealt with it all while I was away and unable to do so. I am truly grateful for everything Kirsty has done for my dogs and I will always trust them to look after them.

Schedule
I work from home 4 days a week, with the exception of Tuesday’s when I’m in office, which means your pet will have plenty of company and supervision throughout the day. I’m able to give them regular attention, toilet breaks, playtime and cuddles, while also making sure they have plenty of opportunities to rest and settle. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I’ll always discuss their usual schedule with you beforehand and do my best to keep things familiar. This includes following their normal feeding times, walks, toilet breaks, sleep routine and any other care they’re used to at home. Depending on how long I have your pet for, a typical day might include: 🍽️ Breakfast according to their usual routine 🎾 Playtime and plenty of attention throughout the morning 💻 Company and supervision while I work 🌿 Regular toilet breaks and opportunities to stretch their legs 🐕 A walk or suitable exercise during the day 😴 Plenty of quiet time and naps 🍽️ Dinner following their usual feeding schedule ❤️ Evening cuddles, playtime and another toilet break before settling down for the night
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll make sure they are supervised appropriately, particularly when meeting Walter or exploring a new environment. Introductions will be calm and gradual, and I’ll always take their individual personality and comfort level into consideration. I have a fenced garden and a large park near to my house that your pet will be able to explore however much they need. I’ll also follow any specific instructions you provide regarding food, treats, walks, medication, allergies or anything else that could affect their wellbeing. I’m happy to keep certain areas of the home off-limits if needed and will make sure doors, gates and other exits are secure to prevent any adventurous escapees! I want your pet to feel comfortable enough to relax and enjoy themselves, while giving you peace of mind that they’re being looked after in a safe, loving home.

A typical day
I love to stimulate animals mentally and physically. We will play indoors with snuffle mats and tug toys, as well as going out and exploring my local park with some fun playtime out too.

- Please let me know if your pet has any specific needs or any concerns you may have before your pet stays with me. I am happy to accommodate all needs within my abilities. I will never take on a pet that I am unsure of caring for, as I would not want to put your pet at risk. They deserve the best!
