Hi I am Kristen,
It is a pleasure to get to know your dog and enrich its life with its favourite pastimes whether that is walking, running, sniffing, training or play.
I specialise in Canine Adventure Walks through our local bushland taking in all of the sights and smells to enrich your dogs life physically and mentally.
I enjoy running in my spare time and have completed marathons so have plenty of energy to keep up with the bounciest of dogs. I have experience with large breeds as well as challenging behaviors. I am an Ex. Detector Dog Handler currently working casually as an Animal Attendant at the Animal Holding Facility and I would love to look after your pet. I am finding Pawshake to be a great way to use my skills while my children are at school and have a great work/life balance. I have over 10 years experience in dog training and animal care. I have TAFE qualifications in Animal Science, Dog and Cat Behaviour Modification and Animal Attending.
I am confident with all breeds and sizes as well as medications. My services include Pet Sitting, Grooming and Dog Walking. I have a professional warm hydrobath for a deep clean that helps with shedding and muscle soreness.
I would love to look after your pet in the comfort of its own home. I provide an sms or messenger photo diary to keep you updated on the daily activities when walking or pet sitting.
I also have experience with small animals and reptiles so please message me to discuss your specific needs :)
Areas serviced are roughly 5km radius of Winston Hills.

Kristen was fast to reply to messages. She is really bright and lovely. Leo liked her immediately and judging by the photos and videos Kristen provided he really enjoyed his walk. Also he was very tired when they got back so it was the great exercise that he loves.
Great meet & greet. I felt totally comfortable with Kristen taking Patch, a large and strong dog, for a walk. He came back panting & is now fast asleep! Brilliant service.
I am TAFE Qualified in Animal Attending and Animal Care
I have also completed Detector Dog Training Courses and competed in agility with my own dogs.
I currently work as an animal attendant and I am confident in administering any medications required.
