Highlights
Pet care experience
Safe, Reliable Pet Care
Hi, I'm Kat. I've grown up with dogs and cats and have several years' experience looking after pets for friends, family, and local owners. I've cared for everything from regular dog walks and day care to longer holiday stays. I understand how important routine is for pets, so I aim to keep things as consistent as possible while you're away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks and plenty of activity or prefers a quieter pace, I'll adapt to their needs and make sure they're well cared for. I'll keep you updated throughout their stay so you can have peace of mind knowing they're settled and in safe hands.

Ratings and reviews
Fred stayed with Katherine today. It was his first time away from us. Katherine kept us updated with photos and videos all day and Fred looked like he was absolutely loving it! I would definitely take Fred to Katherine again as long as she will have him ?
Katherine was an absolute life saver, our previous dog sitter suddenly became unwell a few days before our holiday plans, and we found Katherine soon after. She took great care of our dog Bluey, sent us regular video and photo updates via Whatsapp. We could just see how happy and settled Bluey was with her for the long weekend. She kept him entertained with beautiful walks, and we provided his favourite toys and bed. Could not have asked for better care. We will now be using Katherine for all our dog sitting needs in the future!

Schedule
I work from home full-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. This means boarded pets benefit from regular company, attention, and walks, while I can also accommodate dog walking and drop-in visits before work, during breaks, and in the evenings.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
work from home, so boarded dogs have plenty of company and supervision throughout the day. A typical day includes a morning walk, regular garden breaks, playtime, and a longer walk in the evening. I tailor exercise and routines to each dog's individual needs and always aim to make their stay as comfortable, enjoyable, and stress-free as possible.
Pets
A typical day
Every pet is different, so I tailor activities to their age, energy level, and personality. For dogs, that typically includes walks in local parks, playtime, enrichment activities, and plenty of opportunities to explore and sniff. For cats and other pets, I focus on maintaining their routine, providing companionship, play, and lots of attention on their terms. My goal is always to keep pets happy, engaged, and comfortable while you're away.
