Hi, I’m Cat – a part-time pet carer with a flexible schedule and a big heart for animals! I work part-time, which means I have the time, energy, and flexibility to give your pets the care and attention they truly deserve. Whether it’s weekday walks, weekend check-ins, or holiday care, I’ll always do my best to fit around your routine. I offer morning, daytime, and some evening slots – just drop me a message and we’ll find something that works. I cover Rutland and nearby areas, and I’m happy to help with last-minute bookings whenever possible.

I also offer pop-in visits, dog walking, and cat care with plenty of love, patience, and respect for each animal’s unique personality. I’m available for daytime, some evening, and weekend bookings – just get in touch to see how I can help!

Information Catherine S. would like to know about your pet
What are they like with new people? Are they friendly with other dogs/animals? Any fears or triggers? (e.g. loud noises, cyclists, men, children) How are they on a lead? Any pulling, lunging, or reactivity? Any medical conditions or injuries? Are they on any medication or supplements? Any dietary restrictions or allergies? Are there any behaviours or issues you’re working on that I should support?

Your Pet’s New Best Friend–Safe, Insured & Trusted
Pet care experience
After working with at my daughters business Perfect Paws in Corby, I’ve seen firsthand how much our clients value a warm, reliable, and professional pet care service. With a genuine love for animals and years of hands-on experience, I’m now keen to set up where I live in the beautiful Rutland area to offer the same high standard of care. I believe every dog deserves tailored walks, positive attention, and a calm, confident walker they can trust. Whether your pup loves a countryside adventure or a gentle stroll, I’ll make sure they’re exercised, safe, and happy while you’re away. ✅ Fully insured ✅ Experienced and friendly ✅ One-to-one or group walks available ✅ Flexible bookings in and around Rutland
Reviews
Catherine is absolutely wonderful! Our dog Luna loves her! As soon as we met Catherine we knew our dog would be in safe hands. She comes over every week and nips our girl out for a walk, stays for cuddles and keeps her company whilst we are away at work. Excellent communication and even got sent some photos! **important to add that if you are serving in the military Catherine can access camp as she has a sponsor pass, this has been perfect for us**
Catherine was perfect for my cats. Very reliable and did everything I requested. The most important thing to note is the she actually cares about animals, this was clearly evident on our first meeting, the cats loved her.
Catherine was absolutely wonderful with our dog! From the moment they met, it was clear she has a natural way with animals. She was caring, attentive, and kept us updated with messages and photos while we were away, which gave us total peace of mind. Our dog came back happy, calm, and clearly well looked after. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Catherine and will definitely be asking her again in the future!
Catherine is amazing with animals—she’s the kind of person pets just naturally gravitate toward. She’s super loving, calm, and always makes sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or just keeping them company, she gives every pet her full attention. You can tell she genuinely enjoys spending time with them. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.
