Animal lover with years of Veterinary experience

Pet care experience

I've had multiple pets all my life and love all types of animals. I am familiar with many different breeds of dogs and cats and their individual quirks and special requirements. In my adult years I've had several dogs and cats, rabbits, birds and a horse. I worked at a Veterinary Clinic for 8 years and they specialised in small animals and also exotic pets. I have hand reared kittens and puppies that have only been a few days old. I assisted with the care of the animals at the vet and nursed several in need of special care. My work experience gives me invaluable knowledge into animal care.

We asked Kristy to do a drop in service to feed our cat while we were away for a few days. Kristy was brilliant on keeping us up to date with how Smoky was doing and sent us pictures each day. We came home to a content cat. Thank you Kristy!

Dear Kristy was fabulous with Pip who took to her immediately despite being a little unsettled in an unfamiliar place. Great communication. Highly recommend.

Safety, trust & environment

Usually I would prefer pet-sitting at the pet's home as its a familiar environment to them and makes them feel more relaxed and comfortable. I would try to stick to their regular routines as much as possible, take them out for regular walks and give lots of cuddles and comfort to them.

Information Kristy A. would like to know about your pet

I need to know whether they have any health issues, what activity levels they are used to and whether they prefer long or short walks. Also would need to know how well socialised they are and if they have any quirks or special requirements. Routine and diet is also quite important to make sure they feel safe and happy with a new person and so they get fed the correct diet so as not to cause stomach issues etc. A brief idea on their personalities would help too :)

A typical day

I love to go for walks in the surrounding area. I also enjoy taking the dogs to a nearby "run free" or "Zoomies" field. They are fully fenced and secure and have a lot of activities, toys and space for dogs to run and play. This is especially recommended for reactive dogs so that they can have plenty of exercise in a stress-free environment. I try to keep to their routine as much as possible and spend a lot of time with your pets so they are comfortable. There will also be lots of cuddles and treats ?

I have an online business and work from home. So I will be able to spend lots of quality time with your pet/s. I rarely go out for long periods of time so at most, I would be out for a few hours. I like to make sure dogs have regular walks and toilet breaks. I think it's important that they get a lot of attention, especially on the first few days, so they can settle in and feel comfortable.
