Pet care experience

Loving Dog Care You Can Trust!

I’ve been caring for dogs for over many years, starting when I got my first hands-on experience at my local kennels at 13. I worked there for three years, walking, feeding and caring for dogs of all different sizes, breeds and personalities. I also have my own dog, who I’ve had for the past six years. We’ve done lots of training together, including agility classes, and she has taught me just how important patience, consistency and getting to know each individual dog really are. I really enjoy spending time with dogs and getting to know their different personalities and what makes them happy! I’ve since completed an Animal Management Diploma and a degree in Zoology, which have given me a strong understanding of animal behaviour, welfare and care, alongside all of my practical experience. I currently work part-time at my local zoo, so dog sitting fits really nicely around my schedule. I’m reliable, responsible and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, and I’d love the opportunity to give your dog the same care and attention I’d want for my own. Whether they’re looking for a long walk, some playtime, company while you’re out, or simply a comfortable and calm environment, I’m happy to work around what suits them best.

Safety, trust & environment

I want pets to feel as comfortable and settled as possible while they’re staying with me. I’ll take the time to get to know their routine, personality and individual needs, and make sure they get plenty of attention, play and affection while also having their own space to relax. I’m also happy to take dogs out for walks and will tailor these to what they’re used to and enjoy. I’ll always follow your preferences around leads and off-lead walking and make sure they’re safe and happy while out. Above all, I’ll care for every pet as I would my own and make sure they feel relaxed, well looked after and part of the family while they’re with me.

Catherine has grown up with pets - cats, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs and most recently a dog. Due to her love of animals she studied animal management at college and went on to do zoology at university. She is caring, considerate and conscientious. A harder worker who is very polite. Catherine has recently started working part time at Bristol Zoo Project.

Catherine is such a caring, responsible and trustworthy person. She absolutely loves animals and you can tell how much she genuinely enjoys spending time with them. She is patient, attentive and always puts the animal’s needs first. I would have no hesitation whatsoever leaving my pets in Catherine’s care and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and loving to look after their furry friends! 🐾❤️

Schedule

My schedule I currently work part-time on a changing rota, so my availability can vary from week to week. However, with enough notice, I’m usually able to plan around my work schedule and make dog or cat sitting work. I’m happy to discuss dates and times in advance to find something that works for everyone. I will be the sole care provider.

It’s helpful to know about your dog’s usual routine, personality and any particular behaviours or needs before their stay. Please let me know about things like feeding routines, medication, how they are around other dogs and anything that helps them feel comfortable and settled.
