Highlights
Pet care experience
Care for all different pets
IMPORTANT RE DOGS: The size & age as listed in my profile is not so much a concern, more the temperament & how they walk on a lead. My main pet sitting is cats, with many (many!) years of experience caring for feline family members. I've also looked after rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters & birds & a snake & will consider others with clear instructions. I'm happy walking dogs on lead, giving meds, feeding and playing with dogs. I'm not a trainer, but will continue using voice commands and hand signals owners have implemented. I have a keen interest in dog behaviour.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I visit the pet in their home and care for them as requested. I'm used to keeping doors closed and being wary upon entering with indoor cats who may try to escape, have looked after cats with definite meal times and timed cat flaps, and sat for cats who are free to come and go as they please. I can visit once and use a timed feeder machine (owners own) for other meals, or visit twice per day. Some are fed once a day. I can also stay overnight if your pet needs company then. On overnight stays, I would go out in the daytime for a couple of hours (longer on my volunteer days)
Ratings and reviews
Second time booking with Kat is she was amazing. Went beyond the basic cat and flat sitting duties and washed the guest bed linens and towels, put on the dishwasher and lefth entire flat in great condition.
Kat was wonderful with Beau, visiting him twice a day, spending time with him to keep him company and sending us lovely pictures and videos. She also kindly looked after our greenhouse plants and veg plot in scorchingly hot weather and did a fabulous job. I would definitely recommend her and use her again.
Thank you so much Kat for the exceptional care and attention you gave Kushboo while we were away. You looked after her so well that she didn’t even miss us when we returned home! Thank you also for taking care of stuff at home - we are truly grateful! ❤️
Kat was great and ensured that my cat was well-looked after while I'm away.
Kat was amazing again with our cuddly old boy. Came home to a very happy relaxed cat. Highly recommended!
Kat is the best! She took such good care of Blu. He adores her.

Schedule
I volunteer part time, so have time to spend during the week and at weekends with your companion animals. How much time I spend depends on the individual animal's needs: some cats love company, so I'll stay a while to relax and be a comforting presence, while others are anxious about having an unknown person in their home - I do the care needed, then let them have their space back, if that is better for them.
