Warm and welcoming dog lover
Pet care experience
I love dogs (and owners) of all shapes and sizes. Each dog will be warmly welcomed, loved and cared for. Dogs have freedom to join us on the sofa or wherever they are most comfortable. Having a whippet I am able to look after shy, particular or princess-like pups. She's also had her fair share of medical problems so I can make adjustments for care or ensure dog takes medication if needed. I've always been surrounded by dogs growing up and as an adult. I've taken care of a range of dogs from sighthounds to retrievers. All dogs welcomed equally and I'll listen carefully to the routine that is unique to your dog. We have a 3 bed house with an enclosed garden, pups are free to run around outside as much as they like. We have plenty of tennis balls too! I'm a particular lover of sighthounds.
Reviews
Katherine was simply amazing with Teddy! He had the absolute best time cuddling and going on great walks! Plus she sent plenty of photos of him throughout the day so I was never out of reach 😊 couldn't recommend her enough and will definitely book again in the future!
Katherine and I met out dog walking & have been great friends ever since. One of the main reasons being her love, kindness & compassion towards Winnie (her beautiful Whippet) and any other dog she meets. Especially dogs that need a little extra love. I was so impressed with how she cared for her own dog when she was poorly - it showed a real empathy for dogs and a great concern for their comfort. Their home is a welcoming, warm & safe space for dogs. We often call on Katherine to look after our dog Poppy. Safe in the knowledge she'll be totally pampered and loved. I'm so happy to recommend her to Rover & think any dog is lucky to be cared for by her (& Winnie or course!).
Katherine and Andy are fantastic dog sitters for our 2yr old spaniel. They managed his high energy needs and cared for him so well, even during a heatwave. The real highlight is their whippet, Winnie, who became fast friends with our spaniel and now they are always excited to see one another. Katherine and Andy are now our regular, go to dog sitters.
Kat is brilliant with our dog Mac and takes really great care of him. She is a highly reliable and trustworthy person, I can’t recommend her services enough!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I'm the kind of person that when I see a dog in the street I'll very gently approach and let the dog decide whether it wants to come to me or not. I can read dogs moods and needs very easily. My whippet is super sneaky so I know how to keep an eye even on the most troublesome of paws. I'll ensure each dog is cared for in a warm and welcoming environment. We treat dogs as part of the family.
Home
Information Katherine S. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs or characteristics, I will make sure to accommodate these. I'm particularly good with shy dogs or those that need extra support with walks or medication.
A typical day
Wake up, lots of fuss and cuddles. Breakfast and any medication served. A walk to sniff the surroundings. Living near fields for frolics. Snooze, play at lunch and a longer evening walk. Lots of cuddles.

I work from home and my partner is self employed. This means we have flexibility in the way we care for dogs. All dogs will have lots of love and attention, and dogs are treated as part of the family.
