👋🏻 Hi! I’m Kate. I'm based in Manchester (recently moved back after a 2 year gap travelling) in a dog friendly flat with my senior chihuahua, Louis. We have a large balcony and are nearby to lovely walks. 🐶 I have been professionally dog and cat sitting for over 11 years, including rescue dog volunteer experience at the Dogs Trust charity. I have extensive experience in caring for puppies, older dogs, dogs with behavioural difficulties and other animals, including cats and non-domestic farm animals. I am an animal lover and vegetarian of 14 years! 🌱 🏡 I work remotely from home, so my schedule is flexible and I'm able to provide a relaxed and comfortable experience for the animals I board. 🚶‍♀️I’ll start the morning off with a walk to the local park. I then come home and make breakfast. By this time, the dog/s I board are usually ready for a snooze, breaking up our regular short walks every 3-4 hours. I like to make sure the dogs I look after get fresh air and a chance to go to the loo regularly. Throughout the day my apartment is quiet, I have lots of soft toys and blankets for the dogs to get comfortable in. I also have an endless supply of Tripe and Dental sticks! 💛 Unfortunately I can't take dogs who are not housetrained or are extremely boisterous as my senior chihuahua is deaf and going blind so prefers more gentle / calm interactions
