Highlights
Pet care experience
Friendly, experienced, & new pets best friend
With 10+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, I specialise in personalised care for dogs of all ages and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention. Dogs have been an integral part of my life since and meeting new dogs brings me great joy in bonding and looking after them. Spending quality time is very important to me. Any dog I look after becomes part of my daily life with walks, trips out and even walks to the pub for a Sunday lunch. I love nature and going for long walks. I make sure that every dog receives a balance of exercise, mental stimulation, and rest, while prioritising their safety and comfort. My approach is always reward-based and force-free, creating a stress-free, positive experience for you and your pet. Whatever your pet needs, I will endeavour to meet those needs and I understand every pet has their own personality, just like us humans! I have my own loving 2 year old spaniels, so if they come and spend time at my house they will have an instant buddy. I always like to meet your pet before taking on any bookings so we can both feel at ease that our time together will be a good fit.

Ratings and reviews
Katarina was absolutely wonderful with Mala. She was caring, reliable, and kept us updated, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Mala was very well looked after and comfortable in her care. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Katarina again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and trustworthy sitter 💛
Katarina kindly agreed to take care of our little one on the 23rd of December with only a day’s notice. She took great care of Bemmie, sending updates and pictures throughout the day.
I hired Katarina to visit my two cats for 16 days while on a holiday, to both care for the cats and give one of them daily medication - pills and apply a cream. She was absolutely brilliant - she sent daily photos of the cats and gave updates on an ongoing skin condition she was treating on our elder cat, Leo. She communicated everything well, and even went above and beyond to collect some extra cream from the vet when the one we had supplied had run out. She genuinely cared for our cats as if they were her own, and made sure they were both safe and happy before leaving the house every day. On our return, our cats werent too bothered we were back, which tells me they were so loved and cared for that they didn't feel us being gone at all. She was also trusted with a key to access the house unattended, and she made sure our house was secure too. I would absolutely recommend her to take care of your pets!
Katarina did a fantastic job of looking after my dog and cat whilst we were away. She sent regular updates with photos and videos. My dog has definitely found another friend! She is very friendly, approachable and responsible - I would without a doubt recommend her
I can't recommend Katarina enough. She took such great care of my dog Ruby aswell as also looking after my home whilst I was away. She provided regular updates, photos and videos, which put me at ease. My pup quickly warmed to Katarina and her dog Nala and I came home happy and relaxed. She treated my Ruby, like her own, offering plenty of playtime, walks, and love. Her professionalism, reliability, and genuine love for animals make her an exceptional dog sitter.
Kat has looked after my dog Scamp on a few occasions now. The latest being a few weeks ago. He had a fantastic time with her dog Nala and was absolutely pooped when I picked him up. Kat is friendly and a great dog sitter. I would highly recommend her to look after your pets. Additionally, she is surrounded by lots of fields and great walks for your dog. She is an absolute pleasure.

Schedule
I’m available for dog sitting, walking, and overnights during the early mornings (before 7 a.m.) and evenings on weekdays (after 5 p.m.) and all day on weekends. I also offer overnight stays any night of the week, so your pet will have company and care even while you’re away. If you need someone for evenings or weekend care, I’m flexible and ready to help!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a house, with a fenced garden. In my house, there are lots of places for your dog to take lots of naps. I have a crate at home if that is your dog-safe place. Your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities. I take great care to ensure a secure, comfortable environment, whether we’re out for a walk or relaxing at home. I’ll always keep a close eye on your pet and carefully follow any specific instructions you provide. I believe in building trust with you and your dog, so you can feel confident that they are in good hands. I’m committed to open communication and will keep you updated with regular check-ins and photos, so you know your furry friend is safe and happy.

A typical day
There will lots of dog cuddles and treats :-) !! It depends on your dog's needs. If your dog likes long walks, there are many woods and parks nearby. For mental stimulation, I have puzzles and snuffle mats. I have a lovely garden for the dog to play in.
