About Kristy

Hi there,

I have had pets my whole life from the ages of 1 until 32 years old. When I was younger we had plenty of cats and a dog called Rivo. In my teens my parents and I did puppy raising for the Guide Dogs. After doing that for a while, my parents decided to get two labradors that they would be able to keep forever, which they had for 13-15 years. Both have recently died. The eldest, Zorro was my best friend and he often felt more like my dog than my parents. He used to sit up waiting for me when I used to come home from night work and always wanted a cuddle. 

On two separate occassions, my parents bred them and so we had 5 cute little puppies around, which was a lot of fun. While I no longer live with my parents, I still house sit regularly, taking my mum's two new labradors for walks and swims, giving them lots of cuddles, checking them for tick bites, and feeding them. 

I've looked after cats too and horses too. I've ridden horses my whole life too. My sister lives in the country with 5 horses and 2 cats, who I look after sometimes too. I love animals a lot, but don't actually have any of my own, which is why house sitting is appealing to me. I'm interested in house sitting as a way to spend time with animals, and also just to get some alone time every now and then, I live with my boyfriend but do love my time alone from humans sometimes :) 

I promise to send you lots of pics while you're away so you know your pets are happy and safe. I'm a big believer in positive reinforcement (for both for humans and animals really), I promise I will always treat your dogs with love and care, not to punish them for bad behaviour and to respect their needs and how they communicate with me. 

I am keen for country housesits as well, like around Macedon etc.

I'd prefer 1 week+ house sits - to give enough time for your furry animal and I to settle hehe

Please contact me to see additional AirBNB & AussieHouseSitter reviews, so you have some assurance that I'm a kind, clean and responsible person.

I hope to care for your loved one soon.

Kindly,

Kristy.
