Hi there, I’m Cat, an outdoor enthusiast and lover of all animals little and large. I have 2 yappy chihuahuas of my own and recently said goodbye to my lovely Staffy girl after 13 wonderful years together. Throughout the years I have had many staffies, a rottweiler, an american bulldog, a labrador, a collie and now my 2 little ones, not to mention fostering many dogs from a great dane down to the tiniest puppies. This has given me plenty of personal experience. I am also an ex RSPCA officer so have worked with all sorts of animals over the years giving me lots of professional experience. I have an enhanced dbs available, I am fully insured and I have animal first aid training. I am also studying zoology at uni. I can often offer flexibility with bookings and am happy to adapt to your pets requirements. I can’t wait to meet your furry buddies :) I have been working in pet services for 2 years now. I offer sitting in your home, dog walking and drop in visits tailored to your pet’s needs. Also happy to assist with other non cat/dog pets. If you want any information or just a chat, feel free to message me.

Cat has been a star! Florence absolutely loves her and we had no hesitation in booking Cat for a week's sit. We get daily updates with photos of what pooch has been up to and it's so reassuring to know she's having a good time. I think Florence is sad to see Cat leave! House was left spotless too. Couldn't ask for better in a house sitter. Thanks Cat xx❤️

It was my first time getting a sitter and Catherine was so professional with everything that she put me on ease while I was on holiday. I have a very sensitive needy cat and she was the perfect person to take on the responsibility. She kept me updated throughout her visits and I was able to enjoy my holiday in peace

If it was possible to leave more than 5 stars we would! Cat looked after Florence and our house for us for nearly 5 weeks while we were on holiday. Florence had a great time and adored Cat and her partner. We had daily updates with doggy news and pictures. These were very much appreciated. Thank you Cat! 😁❤️

When a booking is in place, you can rest assured that I will not cancel. I understand the necessity for a sitter/walker to be reliable and not let clients down last minute. I offer services at the rate shown on my profile for addresses within a 10-mile radius. I can cover further afield for a charge of 50p per mile over the 10-mile distance.

I understand that animals are all unique with their own little quirks and ways and I’m totally happy to accommodate this. I have experience with abused and neglected animals so I am happy to work with more nervous animals. I’m clued up when it comes to older dogs and puppies and the extra time and patience they need. I have lots of hands on experience with confident and less socialised cats alike and have hand reared many rescue kittens. Thanks for checking my profile out.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
