Pet lover available for walks and sitting

Pet care experience

Please note I can currently only accommodate one overnight sit per month, so my diary fills up quite quickly! I’ve had pets in my family my entire life - mostly dogs, some rabbits and the occasional cat. Friends and family have been trusting me to take care of their pets for around the past ten years, and in the last year or so this has grown through recommendations, so much so that I have now started offering my services full time. I’m simply an animal lover looking to make a bit of extra money. I’m very comfortable around both dogs and cats, and studied animal care at college so have a background knowledge of first aid, body language etc. I am now a certified dig first aider thanks to Dog First Aid Hertfordshire.

Kirsty was absolutely fab - great communication, very friendly and our pup Rizzo loved her. Kirsty sent us lots of pictures and left our house spick and span. We felt totally at ease knowing that Rizzo was in such good hands - thanks Kirsty!

Thank you so much Kirsty. We had pictures, videos and great communication with Kirsty and felt very lucky to have her look after Sassy. Can’t thank you enough :) Dave and Jen

Kirsty was great – good communication beforehand and very punctual for the walk. Daisy isn’t always comfortable walking with new people but was happy to go with Kirsty. Would definitely book again.

Kirsty looked after our three cats. She did everything we asked (which was quite a list)and more. Wouldn't hesitate in using her again.

Safety, trust & environment

I prefer to sit at the owners home, to ensure that the pet feels calm and safe in their own space. Of course, I like to meet pets first with owners present so that I’m not a stranger when it comes to sitting, this can be discussed/planned as and when needed.

Information Kirsty W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know in advance if your pet has any special needs or behaviours. I have experience with senior dogs, reactive dogs and am happy to administer medication if needed. But it is always nicer to know these things in advance

A typical day

If your pet has a routine that they are used to, I will always try to stick to that as best I can. But everyday will involve lots of play time, naps, meals and walks.

Availability

I am self employed and work from home, so with a little notice I can be very flexible when it comes to pet care and can fit my schedule around what you need. For longer house sits, I’ll bring my laptop and work from there!
