Highlights
Pet care experience
Walks, Wags, & Belly Rubs Guaranteed.
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.

Qualifications
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.
Ratings and reviews
I love it when Kate comes to look after me. Mummy and Daddy say that I’m the most special border terrier in the whole world, and they are really picky about who cares for me. They call me their baby! Kate takes me on walks across the fields to the beach and the forest. I am a very social creature so I love it when she takes me around the village and lets me sniff everything and find out what’s going on in the doggie world. Kate makes up really fun games for us to play, especially when it is really hot and I can’t be out for too long. Keeps me from getting bored, as I am a very clever boy! She takes photos of all the fun things we do and sends them to Mummy and Daddy. I love her so much that I smile for the camera. Yes, really! Just take a look at her photos. You know what? Kate cleans up the house before she leaves, even places where I haven’t shed my fur, and that’s a lot of places because I am allowed on the furniture. I told you Mummy and Daddy spoil me. The only thing they don’t do is give me enough treats. I keep telling Kate that it’s okay to give me more and Mummy and Daddy won’t know, but she must be scared of them because she doesn’t. Kate has looked after me twice and I am so excited because she is coming back two more times. I wag myself in half when I see her and can’t wait for all the cuddles and the fun we are going to have.
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!
Fantastic with Dilly and just so accommodating highly recommend
Kate, is just a fabulous house sitter. My 'boys' absolutely loved her. Can highly recommend.
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.
We couldn’t be more happy with Kate as she’s been looking after our 2 boys, Stewie (2 year old rescue Dachshund) & Biggles (6 year old Jack Russell). Pro-active communication, lots of photos (which we love) & an obvious connection with the two dogs which she clearly loves (and they love her). We couldn’t recommend Kate more.

Schedule
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.
