Sandy's Story: The Heart Behind At Your Bark & Claw Pet Concierge

At At Your Bark & Claw Pet Concierge, every service we offer is infused with compassion, understanding, and a deep appreciation for each animal's unique journey. The inspiration behind our mission comes from a very special companion named Sandy—a Dingo hybrid whose story is both heart-wrenching and profoundly inspiring.

A Journey from Trauma to Trust

Sandy came into our lives as a rescue, bearing the weight of a traumatic past that left her anxious and wary of the world around her. Being part Dingo, she possesses a strong survival instinct, a trait common in her wild counterparts. This instinct, coupled with her past experiences, made her cautious and hyper-vigilant, often keeping her at a distance from those who wished to help her.

From the moment we met Sandy, there was an unspoken connection—a silent promise to help her heal and rediscover the joys of companionship. Kirsten's background in animal studies and first aid equipped her with the knowledge and patience needed to reach Sandy on her own terms.

Lessons Learned from a Special Soul

Through countless hours of gentle interaction, observation, and unwavering dedication, Kirsten began to understand Sandy's unique needs. She learned that traditional methods weren't always effective and that flexibility and empathy were key. Sandy taught us that every wag, hesitant glance, or quiet sigh holds meaning, revealing the inner world of a pet who longs to feel safe and loved.

The Birth of At Your Bark & Claw Pet Concierge

Sandy's journey was the catalyst for Kirsten to establish At Your Bark & Claw Pet Concierge. Witnessing the transformation of a once-anxious Dingo hybrid into a more confident and trusting companion highlighted the profound impact that personalised, compassionate care can have. Kirsten envisioned a service that extends this level of understanding and dedication to other pets with anxieties and quirks.
