Highlights
Pet care experience
Work from home dog sitter
Myself and my partner Devante both grew up around dogs and have always been the go-to person for friends and family when they need someone to look after theirs. We are very calm, patient and attentive, and take the time to understand each dog’s routine and personality so they feel comfortable and settled. I work from home as a beautician, so I’m around throughout the day and your dog won’t be left alone for long periods. I genuinely love the company and it also gets me out for regular walks, so it’s a win for both of us. My partner is also great with dogs and will be around to help, so there’s always an extra pair of hands for walks, playtime and attention. We’re happy caring for different types of dogs, including puppies and those who just need a bit more attention, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos so you know they’re happy and in safe hands.

Ratings and reviews
Womble spent 17 nights with Katie and was very well looked after. He was a little unsure to start with as there were several other dogs staying when he arrived but soon started to feel at home. Katie made a huge fuss of Womble on his 5th Birthday and we were sent videos of Womble celebrating. Womble would be very happy to stay with Katie again.
Katie and Devante looked after Franklin for us whilst we were away on holiday for a week, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for better sitters. They agreed to look after him at very short notice after we were let down by another sitter, which we were incredibly grateful for. They kept us updated throughout the week, which was really reassuring, and when we picked Franklin up he was very happy and very tired, so clearly had a brilliant time! Katie and Devante are such a lovely couple and we felt completely comfortable leaving Franklin with them. We’ll definitely be using them again and would highly recommend them!
Franklin had a great time on his daycare with Katie and Devante. He came home very happy :)
Thank you for looking after Skylar for 6 days! She had lots of love and cuddles, and we appreciated all the updates on how she was doing!
Skylar had a lovely day with Katie and Devante, and came home happy and bouncy. Would definitely book again!
They took such good care of our Chester for the week, will def rebook whenever we need!

Schedule
I work from home as a beautician, so I’m around throughout the day and your dog will have plenty of company, attention and regular walks. I do have clients coming in and out, but this is all within the home so your dog is never left alone for long periods. My partner is also usually home in another room, so there’s always someone around. My schedule is quite flexible, which means I can stick to your dog’s usual routine and make sure they feel comfortable and settled.

Safety, trust & environment
Your dog’s safety and comfort is my priority. I create a calm, clean and relaxed environment where they can feel at home. I’ll always follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding times, walks and any specific needs they have. I never leave dogs alone for long periods, and I’m very attentive when it comes to behaviour, especially if there are multiple dogs. I can also keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel completely at ease while they’re with me.
A typical day
I love engaging dogs in fun, stimulating play-whether that's tug of war, chasing games, or simply showering them with the affection they thrive on, including cuddles, scratches, and tummy rubs. Each day is tailored to suit your dog's individual needs, with appropriate walks for their breed and energy level, along with enjoyable activities like fetch, ball games, and puzzle treats to keep them happy and mentally stimulated.
