About Kirsty

I am a qualified Animal Carer with three year diploma in Animal Care Management. I worked for the RSPCA for 4years which gave me great skills with working with scared/anxious animals. 

I have always had dogs growing up so am confident in walking, feeding, grooming and playing with all dogs of all sizes. I have done plenty of work experience with animals throughout my time at college. I regularly look after two cats for a family members neighbour.

I have always wanted to work in the animal sector and being able to do pet sitting is honestly the best thing. I just like to be there to help owners who struggle with putting pets into kennels/catterys. Animals are more relaxed in their home environment. 

I offer for pets who can be left for some time during the day, one or two visits a day, this includes feeding, changing of water, grooming if needed (brushing), cuddles, walks, play time and cleaning up (litter trays) And administration of medication if necessary. 

My visits are usually 20-30minutes for small pets and cats (This can be reviewed on the clients pets circumstances). 

I am also available for dog walking services. As I have had dogs all my life, I am used to walking dogs of all sizes. Walks vary depending in the size of the dog these can vary from 20-1hr walks. This can vary depending on the circumstances of the pets needs. 

My availability:

  •  includes mornings and evenings Monday - Friday. 
  • Weekends I am available throughout the day so morning, afternoon and evening visits. 
  • If you require any plants to be watered or your mail to be brought into the house I can do this. If you require any ad-hoc duties to be carried out we can discuss this further. 

    I will always check all windows and doors are closed/locked before I leave your property. 

    I will keep hold of the keys which will be attached to my car key to keep these safe. If you have a key safety box outside your property and wish keys to be placed back after each visit this is also fine with me. 

    If you would like to know more about me or the services i provide please do not hesitate to contact me, i am happy and willing to answer any questions you may have.

    Great communication prior to the first booking. Kirsty took time out to visit Kobe before his booking to get acquainted, which was lovely. Kobe was looked after and cared for. Will book again soon
