Loving, outdoor and active dog adventures

Pet care experience

I have lots of experience looking after pets from growing up with my own two Labradors. They were perfect companions for long walks and outdoor adventures, having particularly big doggy smiles when at the beach and doing hikes. They still live at home with my parents but I borrow them for an occasional walk. Tudor and Margo had two litters of 9 and 8 pups which I helped care for, so I am able to handle a bit of puppy chaos! I’ve also helped out taking care of my grandparents and friends pets. From having my own dogs, I can understand the potential concern someone could have leaving their dog with a stranger. For this reason I would be more than happy to do a call or meet up before arranging sitting services to give you an idea of who I am and introduce myself to your dog. I currently work from home with occasional days in the office. I can easily do dog walks within a few miles from Pontypridd before work (I typically start at 9am), on my lunch break (which can be taken at flexible hours), or after work (between 4-5pm). If I am sitting at the dog owners house I would be able to let the dog out throughout the day on an hourly basis for around 10 minutes due to hourly work meetings and calls. Having looked after my own dogs, I am aware of things to look out for to take good care of dogs when at home or out and about. I am responsible and would be prioritizing your dogs safety when with them, whilst also giving them some fun and outdoor adventure. I am more than happy to send pictures and updates so you can check in on what your dog is up to so you can have a peace of mind for their safety.

All I can say is Kate is marvellous! She walked my dog when I was away for a month, as although my dog was with my dad, he couldn't manage taking him for walks. Kate is very friendly and I immediately felt as if my dog was in caring and capable hands. She texted me when the weather was too hot for a walk, and was willing to be flexible re swapping days and times when she could. I couldn't have asked for more. Thanks Kate xx

Having grown up with dogs I feel confident in keeping animals safe. I will check with you about your dogs requirements and needs. If I am concerned about anything I will keep you informed and also send dog updates.

Information Kate M. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know as much as possible about your dog before looking after them e.g their temperament, energy levels and habits so we can make sure they enjoy their time with me! I would also need to know anything to watch out for e.g dislikes or medical conditions to help keep them healthy and happy.

A typical day

I love being active myself so your dog would always be entertained and exercised with lots of play and interesting walks. Whether that is throwing a ball in the local park or going on bigger adventures like coastal walks (around Southerndown & Monknash beaches) and for dogs who are have lots of energy I enjoy longer walks in Breacon too. Walks nearer to me would be Pontypridd Park, Taff Trail, Garth Mountain and Caerphilly Mountain.
