Availability
I work remotely for my family-run business, which gives me full flexibility in both my schedule and location. This allows me to tailor my workday around your pet’s needs rather than the other way around. Because of this flexibility, I’m able to provide consistent companionship during house sitting, timely drop-in visits, and reliable dog walks throughout the day. I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, medication timings, walks, playtime, and any special routines that help your pets feel comfortable and secure. My priority is making sure your animals receive attentive, unrushed care while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible.

About Catherine G.

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I believe pets are happiest and most relaxed in their own home environment, which is why I exclusively provide care in your pet’s home. This allows them to stick to familiar routines, surroundings, and comforts while you’re away, reducing stress and helping them feel secure. I have many years of experience caring for pets in their own homes, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m reliable, respectful, and treat every home with the same care and discretion I would expect for my own. From daily routines to home security, everything is handled with professionalism and attention to detail. Your peace of mind is important to me. I provide regular updates, photos, and clear communication, so you always know how your pets are doing. You can trust that your animals are safe, well cared for, and receiving attentive, loving care in the place they feel most comfortable.
Information Catherine G. would like to know about your pet
Before taking responsibility for your pet, it’s really helpful for me to know about their daily routine, likes and dislikes, feeding schedule, and any special needs they may have. This includes medications, behavioural quirks, favourite toys, walking preferences, or anything that helps them feel comfortable and secure. The more information you can share, the better I can tailor my care — and nothing is ever too much trouble when it comes to your pet’s wellbeing.
A typical day
Pets in my care enjoy plenty of walks, playtime, enrichment, and affection, all tailored to their individual personality and energy level. Whether that’s a leisurely stroll, an energetic adventure, interactive games, or quiet cuddle time, I make sure every pet feels engaged, loved, and comfortable. I always follow your pet’s routine while adding lots of positive attention to keep them happy and content.

Pet care experience
Hi! I’m a dependable, experienced pet sitter with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all shapes and sizes. From tiny Chihuahuas to giant Newfoundlands, I’m comfortable and confident working with dogs of every breed, age, and temperament. I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walks, and I always focus on keeping pets happy, safe, and relaxed in their own environment. I understand how important routines are, so I closely follow feeding schedules, walk preferences, and any special instructions you provide. In addition to dogs, I have extensive experience caring for cats, horses, and farm animals, which has made me highly attentive, calm under pressure, and great at reading animal behavior. Whether your pet is playful, shy, senior, or high-energy, I tailor my care to their individual needs. I treat every animal as if they were my own and pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and respectful of your home. You can expect regular updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your pets!

Reviews
Catherine looked after our dogs in our home for a week and they had a wonderful time. Walked regularly and given lots of opportunity to play. The house was in a wonderful condition when we returned. Absolutely fab. Thank you.
