About Kirsten
Animals are a passion of mine and I've just returned after 4 years in London without any pets, so definitely keen to surround myself with them again. I was a volunteer dog walker there and worked with and grew to know a range of breeds.

We have always had our own animals- birds, rabbits, rats, fish and small/medium dogs (2 toy poodles and a collie) ourselves. We currently have two toy poodles at home- Moose and Yoshi. They are very well socialised and are used to being around other animals. Your dog will need to be vaccinated and desexed if my dogs are going to be around them.

I’ve worked with lots of animals including pigs, goats, sheep, cats, dogs and birds. I am happy to look after multiple animals, water plants, collect mail etc with overnight stays, just ask :). Happy to answer any questions so please get hold of me any time. I am a primary school teacher, so I get police checks regularly and I’m very trustworthy and respectful.

Public holidays price by negotiation (extra charges will occur!)

Description of my services:

Dog walking: is between a 30 minute and 1 hour walk

Pet feeding: I am at your house for around 30 minutes for some play/cuddles and to feed your pets

Pet hosting- is when they are at my house overnight.
**Please note: I have 2 toy poodles. If you select this option, your dog must be socialised and desexed. Please make sure they are not diggers or do any marking indoors. We will only accept small/medium dogs or poodles/oodles at our house**

Pet sitting- is when I am at your house overnight.

*Please note: madpaws takes 20% of the amount that you pay*

Absolutely lovely lady. Visited and fed our multiple parrots over Christmas 2023. Sent frequent status updates and multiple photos frequently. Even offered further service if our travel plans were delayed (but they were not delayed Iin The end), Would thoroughly recommend Kirsten for pet sitting services. Thank you so much Kirsten!
