I'm currently taking a break from my full-time job, which is great because it means I have a completely open and flexible schedule. Pet care is my main focus right now, so I can be available whenever you need me. This allows me to completely tailor my day around your pet, ensuring they get all my attention and their routine stays the same while you're away.

Safety, trust & environment

I do not offer pet care in my own home. All of my services are provided in the pet owner's home, which I believe is the best environment for any animal. My priority is to ensure your pet remains comfortable and stress-free in their own familiar surroundings, with their routine completely uninterrupted. I take my responsibility to look after your home just as seriously as I do your pet. Having sat for dogs and cats all over the Dorset and Hampshire region, you can trust that I am a reliable and respectful presence in your personal space.

Information Kate P. would like to know about your pet

Health & Safety: Any pre-existing conditions, allergies, or medication schedules. Please provide your vet's contact details. Routine: Food type and schedule, exercise and walking needs, and where they sleep. Personality: How they behave around new people and other animals, and any fears or triggers I should know about. Supplies: The location of their food, treats, toys, lead, and any emergency items. Home Instructions: Any specific instructions for the home, such as alarm codes or security details.

A typical day

A typical day with the pets is all about settling into their normal rhythm. My main priority is to keep to their schedule so they feel comfortable and stress-free. For the dogs, our mornings will start with an energising walk, and throughout the day, we'll get out for more adventures, with walk times ranging from an hour to two hours, depending on their energy. This could be exploring local routes, visiting a dog-friendly park, or enjoying a fun game of fetch.

Pet care experience

I believe in providing customised care that makes every pet feel safe, happy, and loved in a home environment. My approach is defined by my special skills and dedication to peace of mind for pet parents: Customised Care: I make an effort to understand a pet's unique personality and energy level to create a personalised routine that goes beyond a standard walk or feeding. Tidy Home Guarantee: I will always clean up after every visit, ensuring your home is left just as I found it. Specialised Skills: I am experienced with puppy training on basic commands and comfortable with the specific needs of senior pets, including oral medication administration and managing slower paces. Reliable Communication: I provide regular, detailed updates with photos and videos to give you complete peace of mind while you're away.

Kate was wonderful with our big dog, she kept us updated, sent us photos and gave our dog lots of love whilst we were out for the day. We would definitely book with Kate again!

Kate looked after Ozzy with so much love, care, and attention. It was clear from the start that she genuinely cares about animals, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such capable hands. Ozzy was happy, relaxed, and very well looked after when we returned. Kate also went above and beyond by watering our flowers during the heatwave, which was such a thoughtful and appreciated gesture. She is responsible, reliable, and kind, and we couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. We highly recommend Kate to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pets.
