Pet care experience
25+ Years of Loving, Experienced Pet Care
Hi, I’m Katie, I am a highly experienced animal lover with over 25 years of hands-on pet care experience. I owned my own dog for 17 years and have cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, goats and horses — including helping to deliver puppies and caring for large groups of dogs at once. I truly believe that when owners go away, pets should still have a holiday of their own. I focus on calm, attentive care, fun walks, playtime, routine, and lots of affection — always tailored to each animal’s personality and needs.

Ratings and reviews
Katie was excellent sitter to my two lively cocker spaniels, who seem bored now! !🤔 as they were taken out for long walks and completely spoiled, will definitely use Katie again if she is up for it 🐕🦺🐾🐕🦺🐾


This was our first ever experience having a dog / house sitter as opposed to using kennels, and we couldn’t be happier with finding Katie! Katie came to meet us before accepting the booking, and we were immediately put at ease with her warmth and clear love and understanding of dogs. Katie took great care of Tony, met all his needs and showed him a fun time too. As well as looking after our home at the same time. Thank you very much Katie and we hope to welcome you back again some time! X

We cannot rate Katie highly enough, and feel so lucky that we found her on Rover. Katie spent 8 nights/days staying at our home to look after our dog, Belle. Katie is so kind and caring and just has a very special way with animals, (she also cared brilliantly for our axolotls, which can be tricky little things to look after). Belle instantly took to Katie, and from the photos, video clips and updates that Katie sent we could see that Belle had the best week! Katie gave her so much love and time, and took her on wonderful days out - we had absolute peace of mind at how well Belle was being cared for. We are already looking to rebook Katie for next years holiday. Thank you so much Katie! Also Katie looked after our home and everything was perfect on our return.

I have had the privilege of knowing Katie for over 15 years, and during that time she has been a professional pet and house sitter. Caring for animals is not just her job, it is genuinely one of her greatest joys. Whenever I ask what she has been up to, the answer almost always involves animals of some kind, dogs, cats, horses, birds and tortoises, they are a constant part of her life. Katie is warm, attentive and deeply caring, and animals naturally feel safe and relaxed around her. This is reflected in the many repeat clients who trust her time and again with their homes and much loved pets. If you are looking for someone reliable, experienced and truly devoted to animal care, your pets could not be in better or more loving hands.
Katie has looked after all our pets for over ten years, first our Westie Poppy and then our two goldens - Peach and Honey. Katie’s has a love of animals that is natural and she is completely aligned to caring for animals. Katie walks our girls and looks after them when we go on holiday, she is completely trust worthy. Once you’ve had the Katie magic sitter experience you’ll be hooked! She is a lovely person and you will instantly feel comfortable with her being with your pets! Cats and dogs and other pets are all Katie’s bag!
I am delighted to provide a testimony for Katie, our wonderful dogsitter. I met her by chance 12 years ago, and it has been one of the best connections I've ever made for the care of my fur babies. Katie has a genuine love for animals, and it shows in the way she interacts with my two dogs. Over the years, Katie has house-sat for us countless times, always leaving our home clean, tidy, and well-cared for. She is incredibly trustworthy and responsible, which gives me peace of mind every time I leave my pets in her care. Her considerate nature ensures that my dogs receive the love and attention they deserve, and I can’t thank her enough for all that she has done for our family. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about animals and provides outstanding service, I wholeheartedly recommend Katie.

I work for myself so my hours are flexible and part time. I would only need to be out on a couple of days during the week for a maximum of 4 hours.
