My services are tailored specifically to the needs of your pup. I offer individual and small group walks, feeding, companionship and play visits, medicine administration and overnight and extended stays in their familiar space. Walks can be energetic or slow paced, long or short. I do not operate from a 'one size fits all' perspective - I cater to the needs of YOUR dog.

FAQs

Please contact me at kirsty@smallpawskapiticoast.co.nz if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Yes, I offer overnight pet sitting services. Please see 'Cosy Overnight Cuddles' in Services and contact me to discuss extended pet sitting options. 


Yes, this option is available upon request and is dependent on the availability of other dogs in my care. The walk is limited to 2 to 3 dogs to ensure proper attention, and control is given. I try to match dogs based on energy level and temperament. On or off-leash dependent on your dog's requirements.


Yes, I have a clean criminal record, which can be provided upon request. I understand that your pets are family and your home is your sanctuary. You can rest assured that when you entrust me with your keys and beloved pets, you are welcoming a vetted, trustworthy professional into your home. 


Yes. I take my responsibility to you and your pets very seriously. That's why I'm fully covered by public liability insurance. This coverage protects you, your property, and your furry friends in the unlikely event of an accident or incident during my care. 


Absolutely! See details below about my free Meet & Greet and get in touch during contact hours.


Payment can be made by cash or bank transfer. If you choose to pay by bank transfer, an invoice(via Hnry) with bank details are sent to you via email on Fridays. 


Certainly! I offer a 10% discount on all services provided.


Absolutely! The majority of my clients are senior dogs, and every walk is tailored to your dog's individual needs and comfort level. Walks are gentle, shorter, and perfectly paced, using flat, even surfaces and avoiding extreme weather conditions. Each outing is adjusted based on how your dog feels that day. I keep a watchful eye for subtle signs of discomfort or fatigue, and will never push beyond your dog's limits.



Yes, anxious dogs are one of my specialities. I create calm, predictable experiences that build confidence over time. We'll start with a relaxed meet-and-greet to understand your dog's specific triggers and comfort level. From there, we develop a personalised approach at your dog's pace. Our walks avoid overwhelming situations - no busy dog parks or large groups. We choose quiet times and peaceful routes where your dog can relax.
