Highlights
Pet care experience
Flexible, reliable & responsible
I have been an experienced volunteer dog walker with The Cinnamon Trust for nearly 16 years and during that time have had long-term commitments with five local dogs and their owners, walking most weekends and some evenings. I also regularly dog-sit for my family and friends with a variety of different breeds and ages, including puppies. I also currently have two rescue cats and have experience in administering medication and grooming long hair. Over the years I have had many cats, including kittens and the most I have looked after at one time is three. I regularly look after our neighbour's house while they are away. I am also a homeowner so would take the responsibility of looking after someone else's home very seriously, including jobs that need doing like watering plants, taking out the bins and tidying up after myself.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I would want your pet(s) to feel as happy and comfortable as possible while I'm with them so would only accept a booking if I could ensure that I can keep to their routine and carry out the owner's wishes fully. I cannot have pets at my home as my two cats would not take kindly to any visitors but am happy to stay over in a pet owner's home, carry out drop-ins and do as many dog walks as needed in terms of frequency and length - I know the local area very well and really enjoy getting out in nature with a four-legged friend!
Ratings and reviews
Friendly and responsive - Thanks for your help at short notice!
Lovely sitter, my greyhound is super nervous and Catherine really listened to everything I said and was easily able to win her over !
Cat is amazing with Clover, I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.
Catherine is fabulous, I have a new puppy and raising on my own, and Catherine provided some much needed relief for me and fun play time for Alfie. Would definitely recommend.
Catherine is a fantastic and diligent dog walker. She loves dogs and is always aware of their needs. I trust her with my dog (he might prefer her to me!) and recommend her.
I have known Cath for over 30 years, you won’t get a more reliable person. A massive dog lover and entirely trustworthy. She’ll treat your animals like they are her own.

Schedule
I don't have any children so have limited regular weekend commitments and can be flexible during the week as I work from home a few days a week. I have my own car.
