Not every pet owner wants to put their pets in to a kennel or cattery when they go away. And not all animals settle in different surroundings. That's where Highland Home Pet Services help. I look after your pets in their own home for the duration of your time away, keeping them happy in their own environment. Meaning your pet is much happier and you have the security of someone in your house looking after your home whilst you are away. In addition to cats & dogs, I have experience with geese, ducks, hens, pigs, sheep & cows. If you own a small croft and have other animals that need feeding and caring for I am happy to discuss :) Your pets and or animals are looked after and cared for as if they were one of my own. I have an agricultural background of dairy and mixed arable (although that was many moons ago). And made the leap from the corporate world to pet services and haven't looked back! I can also offer emergency cover if you or a loved one are taken ill or are required elsewhere to deal with life.
All lead trained, obedient dogs welcome :)
PLEASE NOTE: I do not walk bitches whilst they are in heat.

We have 2 Jack Russells and a large cat - one of our dogs is fine but does have some little quirks that need careful handling and Kirstin just takes the time to understand each of your pets and work out the best way to make them feel safe and secure.
Kirstin is our go to dog/cat sitter - she comes to the house and loves your pets like they are her own and they really couldn't be in safer hands.
I would recommend Kirstin to anyone who is worried about leaving their fur babies at home - she is amazing.
