Availability

I currently work a set rotation of 5 night shifts, which means I can provide specific dates of up to 10 nights of 24/7 care on my off time (I’m happy to discuss longer durations if required, regarding my work status) This also allows me to provide walks at times during the day when pet parents are at work.

Between them they provide the best of both worlds with play and relaxation time being part of their daily schedule.

A run down of their usual routine helps me maintain as normal daily life as I can for your pet to reduce any stress while your gone.

Information katie p. would like to know about your pet

No information is irrelevant! It’s the details that help me keep care as close to normality as possible. I generally will have set questions that I feel are important for me to know in order to care for your fluffy friends, but please do not hesitate to tell me the specifics as these will differ for everyone!

A typical day

There are lots of places not far from where I live for engaging walks, including agility practice and swimming opportunities. I love teaching new tricks so please tell me if there’s anything you’d like me to achieve and I’ll see what I can do ☺️

Individually tailored, specialised pet care 🦮🐈

Pet care experience

I have worked in the veterinary industry since 2013 and qualified as a registered veterinary nurse in 2018. This allows me to provide a high level of care. I have experience in a range of species (furry and non-furry). Having volunteered at a wildlife hospital for 5 years and working a long time within the veterinary industry, I have hand reared many baby animals in my time. I have been providing advice to new pet owners for the majority of my career. Including training and general health advice, alongside training my own dogs from young puppies. I am able to provide competent care for more health challenged pets such as medication (to include daily injections) and mobility difficulties.

Katie looked after Freya while mum & dad got married for 2 nights 😁 Katie was extremely attentive as usual, took freya on lots of walks and she was so chilled when she came home. Thank you Katie for putting our mind at ease while we were so busy, she even sent us a cute photo collage of Freya to say congratulations the day after! Definitely our most trusted sitter. Can't wait to see Katie again!
