Dog & Cat Care 🐾

Pet care experience

Dedicating my time to animals - whether that be my own, fostering, volunteering with various rescues, or caring for your pets! Several years of experience providing pet care services, I have been providing services on Rover since 2021. Insured. Animals have always been a huge part of my life and I can’t imagine it any other way. Growing up I was involved in caring for my family pets, and now I have a lovely lab of my own, Luna, as well as two cats, Jackson, and Snickers - my first and only foster fail. I’ve had experience caring for a variety of furry friends, including all sizes - small to extra large, puppies and kittens, high-energy breeds, shy pets, anxious and reactive dogs, and more. I’m familiar with both dog and cat body language. I have had experience, and am comfortable providing pills and oral medication, and injections to both dogs and cats. I am happy to work with your pet to ensure they are comfortable and content, I’m very patient and understand that some animals take more time to warm up. I am also happy to continue working on already established trainings you do with your pup. Currently, I primarily foster cats and kittens, although I have previously fostered under-socialized, more behaviourally challenged large breed puppies. *I kindly ask that there is some flexibility in terms of timing of drop in visits, if possible*. Please let me know your ideal timeframe for visits (ie. between 5pm-7pm). I understand that that is not always possible, and if your pet requires care at a specific time due to medication or any other reasons, please let me know and I will try my best to accommodate that, OR will let you know if I am unable to accommodate due to other commitments. Please note, additional rates may apply based on the care requirements of your pets - if your pet cannot be alone for more than 4 hours or requires constant care, if timings for visits/meals are strict, if you are out of my general service area, etc. If you have any questions regarding my services, rates, or any specific needs, please don’t hesitate to reach out, I am very happy to discuss further!

We had such a great experience with Kirstyn. She went above and beyond to care for our cat while we were on holidays. He loved her so much that showed off his zoomies while she was here. This was our first time using a pet sitter, and she really exceeded our expectations. We are forever grateful.

Kirstyn was absolutely amazing! She arrived right on time and actually spent even more time with my cats than expected. She went above and beyond by cleaning the litter boxes, washing their bowls, and even taking out the soiled litter. Most importantly, she genuinely cared for my two cats and showered them with love, they absolutely fell in love with her! It’s clear that she’s reliable, compassionate, and such a genuinely kind person. I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in her care. I highly recommend Kirstyn to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter!

Kirstyn did an amazing job looking after my two cats for a week while I was on vacation. She followed their care instructions perfectly and treated them like her own. She gave daily updates with photos which helped give me peace of mind. Will 100% rebook for my next vacation.
