About Kathryn R.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I prioritise maintaining their familiar routine and environment. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walk times, medication needs, and household rules (such as crate use, furniture rules, or boundaries). I keep the home tidy, clean up after the pets, and ensure their living spaces—like litter trays, beds, or food areas—are well maintained. I offer playtime, companionship, and regular check-ins so pets feel secure while their owners are away. I also provide consistent updates, photos, and communication to keep owners reassured.
Information Kathryn R. would like to know about your pet
Health and medical needs: Any illnesses, allergies, medications, or past injuries, including instructions for administering medication. Behaviour and temperament: How the pet interacts with other animals and people, fears, triggers, or any aggressive tendencies. Daily routine: Feeding times, portion sizes, walk schedules, play preferences, and sleep/rest habits. House rules and boundaries: Areas of the house pets are allowed in, furniture rules, crate use, and any restrictions. Likes and dislikes: Favourite toys, games, treats, or activities that help them feel happy and comfortable. Emergency contacts: Vet information and the owner’s preferred method of communication in case of any issues. Knowing these details ahead of time helps me provide tailored, safe, and stress-free care, while keeping owners fully confident that their pets are in good hands.
A typical day
I make sure every pet I care for gets plenty of mental stimulation, exercise, and companionship, tailored to their age, breed, and personality. Some of the activities I include are: For dogs: Walks at a pace suited to their energy level, games of fetch or tug, training sessions with positive reinforcement, puzzle toys, and supervised playtime with other dogs if appropriate. For cats: Gentle interactive play with toys like feather wands or laser pointers, puzzle feeders to stimulate their minds, and quiet cuddle time for more relaxed cats.

Pet sitting and walking
Pet care experience
I have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of dogs with different needs and temperaments, supported by a lifelong passion for animals—especially dogs. I regularly cared for an elderly German Shepherd, providing gentle walks and consistent pet sitting support. I also own a six-year-old Jack Russell with a history of dog aggression, which has given me strong skills in managing reactive behavior, reading canine body language, and maintaining safe, controlled environments during walks and social situations. In addition, I frequently look after my auntie’s two Labradors, ensuring they receive plenty of exercise, attention, and routine care. I also completed an Animal Management course at college, which included grooming training and further strengthened my understanding of animal care and welfare.

Reviews
Kathryn was amazing again at last minute. Codi loves her coming and looking after him. See you next time.
Kathryn stayed with my dog Mollie while we went out for boxing day drinks. We kept in touch and I got sent photos and Mollie seemed happy and calm with her. Thank you. I will use Kathryn again. :)
I would highly recommend Kathryn. She walked and fed both of our pets whilst we were away. Thanks Kathryn
Kathryn was great with codi. Booked last minute, she turned up early so she could ask some questions. Sent lots of updates and photos. Codi loved having her here to stay and cuddling with him whilst I was away for the night. Will definitely use Kathryn again. 5*
