Ratings and reviews
I’ve known Karin for several years and met many of her own cats, who’ve all been looked after perfectly and all fit, healthy and happy cats. My experience with Karin professionally is that she never fails to go the extra mile and is a caring and experienced caregiver to animals. She’s been absolutely lovely with both my dogs (we had 2, but now just 1) and my daughter’s 3 gorgeous, but naughty mini-sausage dogs. I have complete trust and faith in her abilities to care for all pets with both love and affection, ensuring all of their needs are met and exceeded. I would highly recommend her, she’s reliable, trustworthy, and professional with a genuine love for animals of all kinds. I particularly like the fact that she’s animal first aid trained and can provide an up to date DBS check.
Karen B has been invaluable in providing care for our Jack Russell, Pablo. Karin has proved herself by being reliable, caring and trustworthy. Pablo loves her visits and greets her with enthusiasm. Her added first aid knowledge is reassuring. We know he is in safe hands.
Karin took care of my 7 cats whilst we had a family trip to Center Parcs, 1 of my cats is very nervous and she did a fantastic job taking care of her needs especially with medication. She kept us informed of the cats wellbeing, sent photos without us requesting and kept the place immaculate. Absolutely 10/10 service provided and would absolutely welcome her return for our future trips. Thank you again!

Schedule
I understand that many pet owners work long hours, enjoy evenings out, travel for business or simply need an extra helping hand. That’s why my services are focused around the times when they’re needed most, with lunchtime visits, evenings and weekends available to fit around your lifestyle. Whether your dog needs a midday walk to break up the day, your cat would benefit from a reassuring home visit while you’re away, or you need dependable weekend or evening pet care, you can count on me to provide reliable, compassionate and professional support. As a fully DBS-checked, fully insured and Pet First Aid qualified pet sitter, your pet’s safety and wellbeing are always my highest priorities. Every visit is tailored to your pet’s individual routine, ensuring they receive the love, attention and care they deserve in the comfort of their own home.
