Animal lover available to take care of your pets

Pet care experience

I'm honoured to have looked after many dog friends over the years. From the early years of secondary school, I've been dog walking, dog sitting and training dogs of all shapes, sizes, breeds and temperaments and I've loved every second of it. I adore dogs, as much as I love all animals, dogs are special. It's a privilege to spend time with them and my approach to dog care is to love and care for all dogs as though they were my own. That doesn't mean I will let dogs do whatever they want, I believe it's important to reward good behaviour and to maintain good behaviour even when the owners are away - you don't want to come back to a dog with bad habits! I'll happily talk through this with you to ensure you're happy with my approach and ensure we're on the same page. Most importantly, know that your dog will be cared for as though they were my own. With all the cuddles, pets, walks and play they want! I'm also a proud volunteer for Raystede Animal Sanctuary near Lewes where I've been volunteering fortnightly since May 2023. I've also worked for an animal talent agency whilst living in Australia, where I was lucky to work with and train animals used for TV, Film and in Advertising.

Kirsty was brilliant sitting our two dogs; she kept them engaged and content, and followed all our instructions/requests to the letter. We received regular updates while we were away and came home to two very happy girls who clearly adored their new “pack member”.

Kirsty looked after Ozzie for 4 days at our house. She was attentive and professional when we met, and we felt very confident leaving Ozzie in Kirsty's care. She sent us updates and photos whilst we were away, and Ozzie was very happy with his new friend! We wouldn't hesitate to ask her to look after him again.

Kirsty was absolutely fantastic, we booked her on very short notice and she was incredibly helpful and communicative. We did a house sitting stay and she left the house perfectly and our dog seemed to very much enjoy her time with Kirsty in the communications sent whilst we were away! I would definitely recommend.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a child and pet free home with a high-fenced small patio garden suitable for toilet breaks. There is a park 5 mins walk away from me, which is a common dog walk/play area.

Information Kirsty R. would like to know about your pet

I've worked with dogs of differing temperaments and needs from arthritis, other medical conditions and behavioural issues. I'm happy to administer any medications needed and ask that we have a clear schedule for me to know when medications are expected. In terms of other needs, quirks, fears, excited behaviours, please tell me anything I need to know beforehand or at our Meet and Greet so I know what's normal for your pup(s).

A typical day

I think for most dogs, learning and mental stimulation is just as important as physical activity and play time. I'd happily teach your dog a few tricks, how to walk to heel etc. There's also plenty of time for play tug, frisbee, ball, hide and seek - whatever your dog is into! I'm happy to take your pup to their favourite spot or mix it up to keep things interesting.
