Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. With my extensive experience caring for animals, you can feel confident they’ll be in safe and capable hands! I’m attentive, reliable, and always happy to follow any specific instructions you have - whether that’s for walks, feeding routines, or special care needs. I’m also very respectful of other people’s homes, keeping everything clean, secure, and just as you left it.
Ratings and reviews
Kate was amazing with Ralph and I had great communication throughout his stay. Ralph can’t wait to see her again already!
Kate has pet sitted for my crazy cocker spaniel and he absolutely loves her, she adapts to all his needs, and he is one needy dog 😂. Elvis loves Kate and so do we, always so punctual and professional and goes the extra mile for our pets!
Kate was so good with my little Luna, would highly recommend! You can see Kate just genuinely loves animals and she’s so good with them! Luna loved spending the day with her, will definitely be booking back in for my next holiday.
Kate is such a fabulous pet sitter and has looked after my cats on a few occasions. I always feel relaxed knowing they're in safe hands because she genuinely cares and makes sure they're happy and comfortable. She's great at keeping in touch and sending updates, which I really appreciate. Shes kind, reliable, and treats my cats like her own. I'd happily recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to look after their pets.
I’ve used kate a couple of times when I’ve been short on pet-care. Very grateful for her kindness, and my dogs love her! Thank you Kate x
Gentle and kind with all animals but a special bond with dogs most specially senior dogs as Kate is so patient and loving with them. She always speaks gently to them and seems to know when they want quiet or play. Puppies bound up to Kate and feel safe when she is around. She can train and teach and keep calm in any situation which means she can be trusted and will keep your pet safe. Highly recommended.

I’ll be heading to Zimbabwe for a few months in May to look after orphaned animals, so have some immediate availability to look after your cat or dog. I’ll be returning in September, when I can have more permanent availability!
