Highlights
Pet care experience
Let us look after your best friend!
Hi, we're Kristen and Sam! We love dogs and would be happy to look after your pet for you! We make sure your dog gets lots of attention, play time and is always as comfortable as possible. We love walking, and would make sure that your dogs got lots of opportunities to go out for regular walks and pee breaks. We also love to take them on longer walks and adventures (depending on your dog's energy and your comfort!). Sam and I also work from home, so we would always be here to care for and play with your dogs! We don't have a garden bit we do have a balcony the dogs are welcome to use in between outings for fresh air. I've had dogs since I was 18 months old. When I was old enough it became my responsibility to feed, walk and pick up after them. More recently, my partner Sam and I have enjoyed looking after a range of amazing dogs through Rover!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Kristen and Sam have been absolutely amazing sitters for our Elsa. They kept us updated every day, often almost every hour, with lovely photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away on holiday. They took Elsa on so many walks and little adventures, gave her plenty of attention and affection, and cared for her with so much love. Their communication is always excellent, and they are incredibly reliable, thoughtful and attentive. Elsa is happy, relaxed and comfortable with them, and it is clear she had a wonderful time. We could not have asked for better sitters and would happily trust Kristen and Sam with Elsa again. Highly recommended! Thank you so much for taking care of Elsa!
Another great Kodi walk from Kristen and Sam. Very punctual, friendly and professional. Kodi recognised them from distance at pick up and got very excited. Great photos. Love the tracking and details of the walk too. Thank you.
Wonderful! Arrived early with many updates and photos of Kodi. Very kind, flexible and professional.
Kristen and Sam were great - Kristen walks Millie twice a week and she loves to see her. Very reliable and trustworthy and provides lots of updates!
Kristen and Sam take such great care of Sushi, she is always so excited to see them. They always make time to take her for a walk and send me photo updates during her stay. Would recommend them to take care of your doggo!
Kristen was an excellent dog sitter for Pippen. The stay commenced with a number of happy days and outings with Kristen providing great communication along with photos showing a very settled dog. Unfortunately Pippen came down with a spontaneous case of pancreatitis mid-way into the stay. She had never had this condition before and it came as a shock to all of us. We were out of the country on a bereavement leave and not able to immediately return regardless of how much we wanted to. Kristen really demonstrated that she was a safe pair of hands for Pippen. She was extremely concerned, provided ongoing communication with us and liaised with our vet. Kristen confidently stepped up to administer a complicated medication schedule once Pippen was released from the animal hospital along with a new diet. This was not the boarding experience anyone was expecting, but it ended positively with Pippen now making a good recovery. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kristen as a sitter because she really demonstrated competency during an emergency situation. Plus Pippen bonded readily to her and loved her!

Schedule
My partner and I both work from home so are available to care for your dogs most days. We always coordinate our office days when caring for animals so that someone is always home and the dogs can go out for when they need.

Safety, trust & environment
We will always be around to watch your dogs, to make sure we can stick to your schedule and can take them out regularly for walks and bathroom breaks.
A typical day
We love walking so will be happy to take your dogs out and about around the neighbourhood and local parks. We also love play time, we've got toys here to keep your dogs entertained, or are happy just to give cuddles on the sofa if that is more your dog's speed.
