Highlights
Pet care experience
Long walks, cuddles & happy tails
I’m an animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals. I live in Great Glen, near Oadby (South Leicester). I’ve volunteered at a dog shelter, walking dogs and helping with kennel care, and I’ve grown up surrounded by pets and farm animals in the New Forest. I have experience with everything from puppies and kittens to older dogs and shy or rescue animals. I can administer medication, manage safe off-lead time, and always prioritise your pet’s safety and comfort. I’ve also house-sat for family, friends, neighbours, and through this app. Living in the countryside has given me plenty of opportunities to take dogs on long walks, explore safe open spaces, and socialise them in new environments. I have a car, so I can travel to your home for walks or sitting. Most of all, I aim to make sure your pets are happy, active, and cared for, while sharing plenty of cuddles and fun along the way!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I currently live in Great Glen with my housemate’s small rescue Jack Russell X miniature pincher who can be a little stand offish. We recently rescued a cat and she’s very nervous so I am not offering boarding at this time. I have a garden and live next to a dog park and loads of fields with footpaths.
Ratings and reviews
Katherine was an absolute star. Nova was chilled and content when I got home and had clearly had a good time.
We booked Katie for a dog walk every day when we went away on our summer holiday for a dog Lola. She and Lola bonded very quickly and she took Lola on lovely walks and kept us updated with photos and comment, which we loved to receive. Katie is very professional and obviously adores dogs. We would definitely use Katie again in the future.
Katy is a sweetheart and has this inherent gift for connecting with cats . I couldn’t recommend enough .
As always, Dylan had a great time with Katie. She understands his needs and this helps me have the confidence to leave him for the weekend.
Katie is someone we use regularly for Dylan, he loves that she is relaxed and will let him lead the way.
Katie has been a superstar with Dylan. He likes to be fussed and walked and he had that in abundance. He’s a sensitive soul and Katie understands this. Would highly recommend.

Schedule
I am a PhD student & do delivery driving at Fosse Park, Leicester so I must be given ample time to make sure I ask for shorter shifts in order to care properly for your pet if required. I am very flexible with my schedule. I have a car & my housemate is a volunteer at a charity rescue shelter so she is always a call away if I need assistance! (Which I don’t anticipate but it’s helpful to have!)
