Highlights
Pet care experience
I'm Paws-itively in love with dogs!
Hello… I’M BACK! :D Welcome to my profile. My name is Katherine and I’ve always loved the company of four legged furry friends. I’ve had dogs in my family since birth and I had my own dogs at 16 and 22 (I’m now 35 :)). My Yorkshire terrier left to doggie heaven a few years ago after keeping me company for almost 16 years and my little Chihuahua/Bichon Frise also joined her after amazing 12 years. Both my furry babies were spoiled darlings, so I can assure you that your furry baby will be in the best care. Due to my love to travel, whilst working from home and been a passionate dog lover, I've had the chance to look after numerous small/mid-sized dogs, with separation anxiety, dogs who need a lot of attention, puppies (incl. miniature puppies) and have play time with dogs who just want to chill. I also have experience with medication if it's needed. I provide constant care, such as regular walks and feeding times if they stay long hours. Please note I do tailor my walk to whoever I’m with, taking into consideration their breed, age and health, to ensure they are exercised accordingly. My goal is to ensure you furry baby is entertained, happy and comfortable when away from his parents and home. My experience is mainly with Yorkshires and Chihuahuas, but all small/mid size breeds are welcome :). I will be happy to share pictures and videos with you, so don’t be shy and do ask for more if you don’t feel what I send is enough. Trust me, I understand its not easy to leave our furry babies with others. :)
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Magnus had a great stay. Excellent communication, very flexible and a lovely person to deal with. Received lots of photos and videos so never needed to worry. Highly recommend! Thank you, Katherine!
Absolutely fantastic! Looked after Cowboy so well. Very thoughtful and sent so many regular updates and loads of pics! Big recommend :)
Katherine is one of the most caring and responsible people I know, especially when it comes to animals. She’s taken care of my pets before, and I always felt completely at ease knowing they were in her hands. She also has a dog of her own who is not only incredibly sweet but also looks so healthy and well-cared-for—it’s a clear reflection of how much love and attention she gives. Katherine is reliable, communicative, and truly passionate about animals. Any pet would be lucky to have her around, and any pet parent can trust that she’ll treat their furry friend like family.
Choosing my cousin to take care of my miniature Yorkshire puppy was the easiest decision. I’ve witnessed her experience with dogs, so there was no hesitation. Katherine is kind, caring and very professional. Even when my little one is tricky, she is always patient and understanding. She has a heart of gold!. She has stayed with Zoe overnight many times and she is conscientious with regular messages and photos/videos of their busy play day and night. I can’t think of a better person to take care of my little Zoe. Thank you Kat!
Katherine is a wonderful sitter. A life saver when we have last minute trips. We are very grateful for her amazing care of our dog who sometimes has breathing problems. Cheeky loves spending time with her and we can tell Cheeky was well-loved and cared for when we pick her up. Katherine’s provide’s a brilliant time for our dog and communication is prompt always, which made us feel very confident Cheeky was in good hands when away from us. Kat, you made my life so much easier. You’re the best. Thank you!
She is a phenomenal, responsible, and, above all, trustworthy person. My pet always loves to stay with her. 100% recommended for those looking for someone they can trust.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live alone in a pet friendly one-bedroom flat in Dalston Junction. My flat is on the second floor of a small building (happy to carry dogs unable to take the stairs) with a living room where dogs can rest without access to the bathroom. If they’re comfortable, I’m very comfortable with them going on my bed and sofa :) . I often take dogs to my near by parks/green spaces as they are an enclosed and safe space. I’m happy to bring your dog on long walks and/or take them to the park and play with them. Building a trust relationship with pet owners is crucial for me, so I will follow any indications given by the book. Any questions, please just let me know!
A typical day
With dogs that are very active and need a lot of exercising, I enjoy taking long walks, exploring new smells and surroundings. With less active ones we will take shorter walks and I will only take dogs to busy parks if I am advised they are comfortable, otherwise we go to a more quieter one to avoid any stress.
