Caring Dog Walker & Sitter in Bovey and Nearby 🐾

My story 🐾 I’ve always loved animals! I grew up with rabbits and in 2022 I spent time in Italy caring for 3 dogs, 4 cats, and a rescue bunny while helping on a house renovation. Later that year, my partner and I opened a Rover profile and cared for lots of wonderful pets. After some travelling, we’ve now settled in Devon with our 1-year-old dog, Alby 🐾. My partner works full time, and I’m reopening the pet business alongside my part-time work. Animal Care 🐾 I am available for day or night pet sitting, walking, and drop ins, and we are considering boarding in the future too. I can care for your pup, cat or small animal. I am happy to arrange a free meet and greet before walks and sits. I’m very active and enjoy walking and exploring so will enjoy taking your pup for walks or keeping your cats healthy and active. However, if you need me to be purely at the house then that is fine too. As an owner you can tell me how you would like your pet to be looked after, and I will look after them as such. So, if you have a super strict schedule for them that’s fine or if you’re really laid back, that’s fine too! I may bring my dog Alby on some walks too. Please let me know if you would prefer him not to attend. He is such a loving boy and has been attending daycare whilst we have been working full time – so he is used to a variety of other breeds and temperaments. He will be a great pal for your dog! I have administered medication for pets before and with clear instructions would have no quarrels with taking on that extra responsibility. Prior to a sit, please let me know your vet details, backup contact, feeding & walking schedule, or if they require any medication. I know how important it is to feel your pets are safe, happy and well cared for when you’re away. 🐾Whether it’s a fun walk, a cosy overnight stay, or keeping their usual routine. I have cared for dogs of different sizes, ages and temperaments and will tailor each booking as such. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout. Availability 🐾 I will be working part-time hours at my regular job so if my Rover profile is showing some unavailability please feel free to message me if you need care during these hours and I will see what I can arrange.

Catorina is lovely and our dog is very comfortable with her. Catorina keeps you up to date with how your dog is doing and looks after them with no issues. I would definitely recommend x

I will definitely rebook Catorina. She was punctual, friendly and lovely with our dog. She knew I was feeling a bit anxious so kept me updated to let me know how she was doing. Definitely recommend.

Catriona did a wonderful job sitting for my 2 whippet puppies. She treated my home well and was great at checking in whilst I was away. I would highly recommend her to any other owners.

Another five star review for a repeat booking. Catriona & Tim are amazing and we are so grateful for their help with our two cats and house sitting.

Poppy is blind and old so likes her space but wants to know she has company and she loved spending time with Catriona and Tim. They also looked after my house, leaving in neat and tidy. Many Thanks
