Hello there! I'm Cathy, and after enjoying the Rover community for the past couple of years with my fur baby, I'm excited to officially become part of the Rover family as a dog walker and offer drop-in care services.

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritise the safety, comfort, and well-being of your pets when caring for them in your home. Here's how I ensure a secure and positive experience: Secure Environment: I diligently check and secure all entry points to prevent any potential escapes. Ensuring a safe environment is crucial for your pet's security. Routine Adherence: I follow the routines and schedules you provide, maintaining consistency in feeding, walks, playtime, and any other specific requirements. This helps minimise stress and ensures your pet feels at ease. Detailed Communication: I maintain open and transparent communication throughout my time with your pet. Regular updates include informative reports on their activities, behaviour, meals, and any noteworthy incidents. You'll stay well-informed and connected with your pet's daily experiences. Respect for Your Home: Your home is treated with utmost respect. I make sure to leave everything as I find it, keeping the environment tidy and secure. By adhering to these practices, I aim to create a safe, trustworthy, and comfortable environment for your pets in the familiarity of their own home. Your peace of mind and your pet's happiness are my top priorities. We are more than happy to stick to your pet's schedule whether that be feeding, walking, or taking medication. Just let us know what your dog requires and we will be happy to oblige. There's always free belly rubs available ;-)

We were very happy with Alfie staying with Cathy and her family. She sent us regular updates and photos during his overnight stay so we were reassured that he had settled in well.

Schedule

As I work from home, I have the flexibility to accommodate most schedules, providing reliable and attentive care for your furry companions. As I am self-employed, I have the freedom to adapt my day to meet the unique needs of your pets. Whether it's early mornings, late evenings, or midday visits, I can tailor my availability to ensure your furry friend receives the attention they deserve. During term time, we do have a school run from 8-9 am and 2:30-4 pm, Monday to Friday. However, rest assured that even during these hours, your pet's care remains our top priority. When it comes to school holidays and half-term breaks. With no fixed commitments during these periods, we can readily adapt to your desired schedule, providing continuous care and undivided attention to your beloved pet.
