Highlights
Pet care experience
Providing loving care to dogs of all ages
I grew up with dogs from a young age, and until recently, I always had a dog in the home. I have 10+ years of experience caring for dogs at all stages of their lives, including special-needs dogs who require medication and close attention.

Ratings and reviews
Kat and Jason looked after out dachshund Roy this week while we went on holiday and they couldnt have been better, Roy loved them, didnt want to leave, we got lots of updates and photos of him relaxing and having fun, we have a very happy dog and are very happy owners, we would recommend them to anyone and had a great trip knowing he was being cared for so well! Thankyou!
Katherine is a wonderful dog sitter! She is hugely reliable and professional-very flexible and super helpful. She obviously loves dogs! She looked after Eddie beautifully and sent me photo updates during the day. I recommend Katherine most warmly.
Kat was fantastic with Alfie whilst we were away for 5 nights. She kept us updated and most importantly he seemed thoroughly relaxed and at home. Would definitely recommend Kat to anyone.
Katherine knows dogs well and Mylo seemed very happy. Would strongly recommend.
Kat and Jason have been fantastic with our puppy Brownie! Having previously looked after our older dog who passed away last year, we were more than happy to trust them with our new puppy. Literally this 21 days of boarding have been like a second family to Brownie, we have been constantly kept informed with photos and videos, additionally we were very impressed on how well they dealt with a sudden tummy ache, giving us lots of reassurance. I can really tell that Brownie misses Kat and Jason already and she is looking forward to her next stay very soon!
Kat and Jason looked after Peyto for 8 nights whilst we were away overseas. They were absolutely amazing. Right from the start I felt that Peyto was in good hands, with people who really understand dogs well and love looking after them. Kat sent me regular updates and photos whilst we were away, showing Peyto having a great time on his many walks and adventures with them. They were patient with him when I first left him (he was a bit anxious) and did all the right things to help him settle quickly. I’m so grateful to them for providing a warm and loving home for Peyto whilst we were away and would feel very happy for them to look after him again in the future.

Schedule
I work from home, so can easily adapt to your dog's personal needs. I live 5 minutes away from a large park with a canal and plenty of other neighbourhood dogs for socialisation time.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have dog-proofed my home, having until recently lived with a high-needs senior dog. I am also aware of dogs' individual levels of need for attention - whether they be independent lone wolves or highly social with a need for play.
A typical day
With a park right on my doorstep, it is easy to introduce your dog to the local dogs in the neighbourhood either on-leash or off-leash (with recall). There is a long canal for walking, a huge field for running and playing fetch, and lots of pubs in the area for a chill day with lots of attention!

- I will need to know your pet's dietary limitations, recall ability, potty-training level, any medications or chronic conditions to watch for, amount of time typically spent outdoors, and behaviour around other dogs, both on- and off-lead.
