About Kirsty

Hello! I am an experienced and passionate animal caretaker with a comprehensive background in working with cats, dogs, and small animals. I have been a house sitter in the past, having looked after many cats and dogs in Auckland and London.

My journey in animal care began more than 20 years ago when I had my first pet, our fur babies, a lab called Fitz and a kitty called Mindy (both now sadly passed). I also grew up with birds and goldfish. Due to our current careers, sadly, we cannot own pets of our own at the moment. 

I have also had multiple experiences with cat and dog sitting for my neighbours and through other platforms, which included feeding and playing. I have also had experience with looking after my neighbour's dog, taking it on walks, etc. Our home, which we own, is fully fenced and we are within easy walking distance to a number of parks and the harbour.

I have also become familiar with administering medication – Fitz had arthritis near the end. 

I am committed to providing top-notch care, ensuring that all pets feel loved, safe, and well-taken care of in their owners' absence. My dedication to animals is evident in the quality of care I provide and the trust
I build with both pets and their owners. 

I look forward to the opportunity to bring my expertise and genuine love for animals to your pet-sitting needs.  

Please note for dog sits at our house your dog must be toilet trained. Overnight dog boarding (at mine or yours) - extra day boarding charge for dropping off before 12pm and picking up after 12pm the following day (e.g. dropping off at 10am and picking up at 4pm the next day
