Your Dog’s Home Away from Home; 9 Years Experience
Hi, I’m Kate! 🐶 Lifelong dog lover + 9+ years of pet-sitting experience. Your pup will get all the love, walks, and attention they deserve—while you get regular updates and total peace of mind. I work from home, so your dog will never be lonely, and I’m comfortable with all breeds, sizes, ages, and special care needs. I follow routines, respect house rules, and treat every pup like family. Let’s make sure your furry friend stays happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away! I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, sizes, and medical needs, and I’m happy to stick to their usual routine, whether that means early starts, short frequent walks, or extra playtime. When they stay with me, I’ll follow your house rules—if they’re allowed on your bed, they’re welcome on mine! And if I’m in your home, I’ll treat it with the same care and respect I give my own. I know how much your dog means to you, and I’ll treat them like my own until you’re home. Let’s chat about how I can keep your pup happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away! 🐾

Ratings and reviews
Kate was great with Harley. Lots of playtime, walks and attention given to Harley and he absolutely loved it. Kate is very good with communication, sends pics and gives updates and replies to messages very quickly. Harley looks forward to seeing Kate again :)
Our Rosie took to Kate. Clear communication with Kate seeking to understand Rosie's routines.
What a joy to find Kate on Rover. Stan made himself at home straight away and was very contented staying overnight. Picked up a very happy dog.
Kate was an amazing sitter for my dog, she was attentive and gave him lots of attention! Kate provided lots of updates throughout the day and I felt so at ease. Highly recommend 🐶
Kate is flexible, easy to communicate with and took perfect care of my dog, Georgia. Cannot recommend her highly enough - thank you, Kate!!
Kate was perfect for us and our dogs. She popped out in just as discussed - gave them the company and love they needed while we were out. Very reliable and punctual. Will definitely be calling on Kate again.

Schedule
I work from home full-time, which allows me to easily adapt my schedule to suit your dog’s needs. By following their routine closely, I ensure they experience consistency and comfort. Just let me know their usual activities and preferences, and I’ll make sure to emulate their routine for a smooth and happy stay.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
For dogs staying at my home, I always arrange a meet-and-greet here to ensure everyone, including your dog, is familiar and comfortable with the environment. If I’m caring for your dog at your home, I prefer to visit your space beforehand for the same reason. This helps your dog feel at ease and ensures a smooth transition. I maintain any house rules you have, whether it’s sleeping in a crate or staying off furniture, to provide consistency and comfort for your dog. My goal is to replicate their routine as closely as possible, whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home.
A typical day
With multiple parks nearby, your dog will have plenty of opportunities for exercise through long walks, which are perfect for tiring them out before bedtime. I can also continue any training you’re working on and help socialise your dog by exposing them to various environments, like a dog-friendly pub. For dogs that prefer a quieter approach, we can enjoy some chill time at home. I understand that nervous dogs might take a bit longer to warm up, so I’ll give them the time and space they need to feel comfortable. Whether your dog needs stimulation, comfort, fun, or routine, I’m always attentive to their needs and ready to provide the best care possible.
