About Kristy

I am an animal lover and have two dogs of my own and had a 15 year old cat that has recently passed over the rainbow bridge. I am a foster carer as well a volunteer Pound Coordinator and volunteer IT Manager for the non-profit organisation Hunter Animal Rescue. I have been involved with animal rescue for over 8 years now and have rehomed many animals in that time. I have a large backyard and two cat enclosures if you are seeking away from home care. I am a responsible, trustworthy person if in-home care is required.

I have always been an animal lover since I was quite young to now. I can't really say if I am a dog person or a cat person. I guess I just love them both. It has been challenging sometimes with the amount of animals I have had in care. Some very shy pets that needed a little extra tlc, and some sick cats that have required in-home medical care. I have enjoyed having them all and learning new skills such as in-home veterinary care and basic dog training.

I ensure for all animals to feel safe and happy in my home environment. For the cats, I have two large play catteries in the backyard where the cats can get some exercise and experience the outdoors in a safe way. For the dogs, I have a large backyard for the dogs to exercise and to play ball. For those pet owners that require in-home pet care, I let the pet tell me what they want, with limits of course. I live with only my brother and two fur babies. My beloved Pomeranian Peppy, and a Jack Russell x Foxy named Staria. Both a sociable dogs and are use to different animals coming and going, and they are great with the cats.

I am a uni student that studies from home. I also do some IT work from home, so I am there all day. If I am required to leave the house for a lengthy period at all, my father comes to mind the animals. The dogs are mostly indoors, but we have play time a few times a day out the back yard. However, the dogs can come and go as they please through the custom built doggy door. The cats stay in the enclosure, but I visit them regularly during the day.

The yard is secure with 6m high fences and a padlock on the gate. The cat enclosures have security bolts, and one enclosure has a secured walk in section for those cats that want to run as soon as a door is open, which prevents them getting away.

Kristy is lovely and provides an excellent service. My dog had the best day playing with her beautiful fur babies and we will be using Kristy’s doggy daycare services on a regular basis.
