Here to Accommodate YOU & Your Pets

Pet care experience

Accepting new clients! Currently servicing Hamilton & surrounding - anywhere between Hamilton to Niagara-On-The-Lake I can easily accommodate! I have several years of pet care experience, between family pets, my own pets, pet sitting services, volunteering and fostering. I am a proud pet mom to a black lab, Luna and 3 young cats, Jack, Nala, and (my foster fail,) Snickers. I am a volunteer with Niagara Dog Rescue and recently fostered a high-energy, anxious/reactive border collie mix puppy, Rusty, for almost 3 months. I've owned pets all my life and can't imagine my life without them. I have been providing pet care services for many years now. I previously provided daytime drop ins and walks for 5 repeat clients, which included up to 4 pets at a time in my care. I also do house sitting and boarding in my home. My experience includes small to extra large dogs, puppies, kittens, cats, as well as more anxious and reactive dogs. I am currently a foster team volunteer at Niagara Dog Rescue (whom I also fostered with), I previously volunteered for the HBSPCA, and also fostered for the Abandoned Cat Rescue. Although I do work full-time, I am able to work from home and will ALWAYS try my best to accommodate you, and your pets schedule. I’d be honoured to be chosen as your pet care provider for whatever you may need.

Kirstyn was absolutely lovely to work with. She took wonderful care of our cat while we were away, sending updates and pictures each time she came by. It was such a weight off my shoulders knowing he was given a ton of love and cuddles while we were gone. Would definitely book again 😻

We had requested Kirstyn for drop in visits to check our 2 cats while we were away. She was very diligent with time, take note of all the instructions, and kept us posted about everything. Would surely consider her again.

Kirstyn was amazing! She took amazing care of our two pets Luna and Leo. She was extremely friendly and has great communication skills. We got lots of pictures and updates on how our two fur babies were doing. We would most definitely recommend her and will be using her services in the future 😊

Kirstyn made our first Rover experience a memorable one and will definitely use her again. From our initial visit, right through until our return from the trip her communication was solid and prompt, providing daily photos and updates. Thank you again for the great experience.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a slight preference to services in your home as it allows your pets to feel safe in their own space, rather than having the extra stress of a whole new space, a new person and new pets. But knowing that is not always an option, my home is prepared for your pets, I have extra bowls, treats, even a crate, my home will be their home. I will follow your routine and instructions on how to care for your pet. I do ask that we do a meet and greet before any services are confirmed. It's important you, and your pet feel comfortable with me and vice versa. But also that I am able to accommodate yours and their needs.

Information Kirstyn K. would like to know about your pet

For me, its important to know the basics - age, size, if vaccinations are up to date, vets office and emergency contacts. I'd also like to know normal routine, cue words, any habits I need to be aware of/watch out for, and any other details you'd like to provide. If they will be boarded in my own I need to know how they are with other dogs and cats.

A typical day

I am happy to do activities that your pets enjoy.. whether that's cuddles, walks, mental enrichment, fetch, etc. I would also be happy to bring them on hikes on nearby trails.
