Highlights
Pet care experience
10 yrs + experienced dog owner
In my teenage and adult life I have taken care of dogs of many kinds. I grew up with rough collies, blue merles, terriers, and an old English sheepdog. As an adult I had a border collie of my own. I have also ‘house/dog-sat’ for families with vizslas, cavapoos and labradors.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I provide a safe, calm and caring environment, following owners' routines exactly. I ensure pets receive attention, exercise, companionship and responsible care at all times.
Ratings and reviews
I highly recommend Kathryn as a pet caregiver. She is one of the most caring, trustworthy and responsible people I know, and animals naturally seem to gravitate towards her. Kathryn has a particular talent for working with nervous, anxious and shy pets, taking the time to build trust and make them feel safe and secure. She has experience administering medication, including insulin injections for our diabetic terrier, as well as other prescribed medications, and always does so with patience and confidence. Dogs absolutely adore her, and she genuinely loves spending time with them. As an enthusiastic walker, she enjoys being outdoors and ensures dogs receive plenty of exercise, attention and enrichment. Kathryn is also exceptionally hygiene-conscious and maintains a very clean, tidy and safe home environment. Any pet in her care would be treated with kindness, affection and the same level of care she would give her own. I would have complete confidence leaving my pets with her and would not hesitate to recommend her to others.
Kathryn is an exceptionally reliable, responsible, and trustworthy house sitter. She takes care of your home as if it were her own, leaving it spotlessly clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. She is highly organized, respects house rules, and communicates perfectly, providing peace of mind. In addition to being a fantastic house guest, Kathryn is wonderful with animals. She is calm, attentive, and highly dependable with feeding schedules, walks, and basic routines. She understands how to keep pets comfortable and settled while their owners are away. I would highly recommend Kathryn to anyone looking for a conscientious sitter who handles both home and pet care with total professionalism.
Kathryn is the perfect pet parent. She care for my fussy Cavapoo Evie who has attachment issues, but she adores Kath. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave my beloved Evie and my kids with her at any time. She is absolutely amazing and I miss her since I moved away. 🙏🏼
I have found Kathryn to be a reliable, trustworthy, and responsible individual who takes great care in everything they do. She is attentive, organised, and genuinely caring; qualities that make her well suited to house sitting, dog walking, and pet sitting responsibilities. Kathryn is dependable, respectful of other people's homes and belongings, and can be trusted to follow instructions carefully. She is also patient and compassionate when caring for animals, ensuring that pets feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after. In addition to being reliable, Kathryn is friendly, communicative, and professional in her approach. I would have complete confidence in entrusting her with the care of my home and pets and would not hesitate to recommend her for any house sitting, dog walking, or a pet sitting position.
I've known Kathryn for many years and would trust her completely with my home and pets. She is kind, responsible, reliable and genuinely loves animals. Dogs seem to warm to her immediately because she is calm, patient and attentive to their needs. Kathryn is highly organised, communicates well and always follows through on her commitments. She treats every animal with care, affection and respect, ensuring they feel safe and happy. If I needed someone to look after my dog while I was away, Kathryn would be one of the first people I'd ask. I highly recommend her.
