Availability

I’m currently on maternity leave, so pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine and means I’m home most of the day. I have flexible availability throughout the week and can give pets lots of attention, company, walks and playtime. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and settled.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a house with a secure gated garden backing onto fields, so there’s plenty of safe outdoor space and lovely walks nearby. I have a baby, a friendly 10-year-old sprocker spaniel and two rabbits, so caring for animals is a big part of everyday life for me. I understand every pet is different and I’m happy to adapt to their needs, whether that’s sticking to routines, administering basic care, or giving them extra attention and reassurance.

Pet care experience

What sets me apart is that I’m home full-time as I am on maternity leave, so your pets will get plenty of attention, company and care throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. I have a 10-year-old sprocker spaniel of my own and have owned several cats in my life, I also have 2 rabbits so it’s safe to say I’m an animal lover! I’m very experienced with caring for pets and understand how important it is for them to feel comfortable, safe and loved while you’re away. I’m a genuine animal lover and adore both dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. Whether your baby loves long walks and playtime or prefers a calm, relaxed environment, I’m happy to adapt to their needs and routine. I’m especially patient with older pets and understand the extra care and attention senior dogs can sometimes need. I’ll always treat your pets like part of the family and make sure they get lots of love, cuddles, attention and updates while they’re in my care.

Kate was brilliant! She fed my cat while I was on holiday, her service was great, she was very friendly and caring! My cat was in safe hands! I will definitely be using Kate again!!

I can’t recommend Kate enough. She’s been looking after Olive my golden retriever whilst me and my partner both work 12 hour shifts. Kate sends us regular updates and photos about what Olive has been doing during their time together. Kate ensures that Olive has enough food and water for the day. Olive absolutely adores Kate and this makes the decision for us to hire Kate easy.

Cannot recommend Kate enough! She's such a genuine person which can be hard to find when trusting a stranger with your pet (aka baby). She takes her time and is so loving, my dog Vinnie absolutely loves to see her and it's nice knowing a trustworthy person is sorting him whilst I'm at work/away ☺️

Kate has looked after our cat several times whilst we have been away and her service is great. She’s always easy to communicate with and often available last minute with our changing plans. I’d would highly recommend her as someone to help out with your pets!
