Highlights
Pet care experience
Walks, Wags, & Belly Rubs 🐾
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
Kate was absolutely wonderful with our dogs, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands while we were away. 🐾❤️ She sent us lots of regular updates and lovely photos, which was so reassuring and meant we could relax and enjoy our time away without worrying about them. It was very clear from the photos — and from how happy and settled the dogs were when we returned — that they really liked Kate and felt comfortable with her. She also took great care of our home and left everything beautifully clean and tidy, which was such a lovely thing to come back to. We’re so grateful to Kate for taking such good care of both the dogs and the house. We would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable and caring dog sitter. Most importantly, knowing that our dogs were happy, relaxed and genuinely fond of Kate meant the world to us. Finding someone you can trust completely with both your pets and your home is such a lovely feeling, and we feel very lucky to have found her. We wouldn’t hesitate to ask Kate to look after them again — and we’re sure the dogs would be very pleased to see her too! 🐶💕
Kate was a lovely dog and house sitter. Megan enjoyed herself and had great walks in the park. Kate sent me regular photos and updates and the house was beautifully clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend her.
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.

Schedule
I now work part-time, so my availability is a little more limited, but I still love spending my free time caring for pets. I’ll always be upfront about my availability and work with you to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. When I’m with your pet, they’ll have my full attention, with plenty of walks, care and cuddles.
