Making 'fetch' happen

Pet care experience

I am an animal lover, but dogs hold a special place in my heart. Growing up, we always had dogs and we cared for them passionately as part of our family. I have three sisters and two parents who are all dog owners, some of which are rescue dogs. After moving to London four years ago, my husband and I adopted our beloved French Bulldog; Winston. He is very loving and gets along very well with other dogs. He is also very gentle with puppies. Because we spend most of our time at home, he gets lots of walks and attention. While dogs are not allowed upstairs or in our bedroom, we always make sure he has lots of cozy beds around the house for naps after long walks. He is neutered. Winston is a willful and demanding pup (as most bulldogs are), but I am always committed to meeting him with patience and compassion. It is my belief is that when dogs misbehave, it is usually because they have needs that are not being met. Every dog is unique, and when caring for a new dog it is crucial to remain calm and warmhearted. I do not believe in dog shaming or physical punishment. We live in a spacious home with an enclosed garden perfect for dogs to play in (and tons of toys to provide hours of entertainment!) Just across the road from us is a dog exercise area, perfect for any dogs that require enclosed spaces to roam free. There are also many beautiful parks around Fulham that are perfect for long walks. I fully understand the stress of leaving your dog behind when you are away, and the importance of finding a sitter who you can trust and rely on. I do pet care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so I will always be able to give your pet lots undivided love, care, attention, and cuddles. Rest assured, your furry friend will never get bored when we hang out! I have eight years of experience with both house dogs and working dogs. I offer a variety of dog sitting services at a reasonable price, and I am very flexible in terms of availability and cancellations. I am committed to working together with my clients and listening to both your needs and your pets needs in order to provide the best care possible. It is my belief that getting to know you is just as important as getting to know your pet. Your pet will be in great hands, and I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend!

Katherine was available in a pinch when we needed someone to watch Nelly and took incredible care of her. She sent us pictures and videos, and Nelly had a great time playing with Winston in the backyard and taking a trip to the dog park. Thanks so much Katherine!

Katherine is an amazing dog sitter!! She really understands how tough it can be to trust someone with your new puppy and I feel so relaxed whenever Sadie is with her. She’s always just a phone call or text away, and sends a bunch of adorable picture updates throughout the stay. She’s truly the best! Thank you Katherine!

I lived with Katherine for 3 years with my two King Charles Cavaliers. Katherine helped care for my dogs on a daily basis out of the goodness of her heart. And my dogs LOVE her. They would wait for her to come home and were always so excited to see her. Whenever I was away traveling, Katherine would watch my two dogs. She did a phenomenal job. Katherine would walk my dogs 5 times a day, including a long walk in the middle of the day. She would wipe their paws when they came inside and always made sure they had clean and fresh water readily available. She would play with them for hours! Every day Katherine would groom my dogs as requested - she brushed them, cleaned their eyes and ears, brushed their teeth, administered oral rinses and any necessary medications. But above all Katherine treated my dogs with love and respect because she is innately good with all animals - especially dogs- and it shows in how much they adore her. Any dog parent can rest assured that Katherine will take wonderful and diligent care of your fur baby!

Information Katherine M. would like to know about your pet

I love all dogs...but bulldogs always manage to steal my heart! When caring for your dog, it is helpful for me to know if your dog is safe to be off the lead in unenclosed environments and whether or not you would prefer solo walks or group walks.

A typical day

I enjoy long walks and would love take your dog on adventures around all the beautiful parks London has to offer.
