Pet care experience
Your Pets Favourite Full-Time Buddy
Having grown up in a multi-pet household in Manchester my entire life with three dogs and three cats, caring for and loving furry friends isn't just a hobby for me, it's second nature. I understand the importance maintaining the daily routines that keep pets feeling safe and secure, especially with a someone unfamiliar. I have relocated to Cheltenham and wish to turn this passion into my full-time career. Because this is my focus, I offer flexible, dedicated, and highly attentive care full of belly rubs and cuddles (if permitted, of course). Multi-pet environment: Comfortable and experienced in managing households with both dogs and cats, ensuring everyone gets along and receives equal attention. Active walkies: I love being outdoors with the company of a furry friend and am fully prepared to give high-energy dogs the long, stimulating walks they need to stay happy and healthy. Routines: From precise feeding schedules to administering basic medication or managing specific behavioural quirks, I pride myself on maintaining the exact structure your pet needs to feel safe. Update photos: I treat every animal as if they are my best friend from the get-go, whilst also understanding their boundaries, of course. I am highly communicative and will always send you photo and text updates so you know your pet is happy and having fun while you're away. Tailored check-ins and housesitting: While I cannot host pets at my current home, I am fully available for drop-in visits and overnight stays in your home to help your pet stay stress-free in their own comfortable environment.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Since I provide drop-in visits and house sitting directly in your home, your pet gets to stay where they feel most confidence and secure. I like to prioritise safety, trust and stress free environment through the following: In advance meeting: Before any booking, I am very willing to meet you and your pet in person to learn their personality, favourite sleeping spots and any dietary or house rules. Security: I ensure doors and gates are always double checked and keys are kept securely to maintain the security of your home. Emergencies: I am attentive to sudden mood, appetite or behaviour changes and any concerns will be expressed in my commitment to clear communication with you throughout my stay. Daily updates: You'll receive photo and video updates and a note after every visit so that you never have to worry how your furry friend is doing.
Ratings and reviews
Katie has been a regular dog sitter and walker for my dog Saba. Saba loves her and gets so excited to see her. She is very flexible and reliable and I have no worries when I leave my dog in her care. She is an animal lover through and through and that really shows when she is caring for Saba and any other pets she encounters.
"Katie has grown up with, loved and cared for family pets being both cats and dogs.” "Katie is incredibly dedicated, trustworthy, hardworking, reliable, caring, loving and has maturity along with common sense. She has had a strong bond with all her pets over the years and believes the ethos pets are family” When Peggy our family dog was terminally unwell, Katie tended to her every need ensuring that she was as comfortable as possible. Katie also made sure that Peggys quality of life was enriched up to the end by taking her to the beach in a dog stroller for one last visit and paddle in the sea” "I couldn’t recommend Katie more —with her experience and a genuine love of animals your pets will definitely be in the best hands."

Schedule
My current routine allows me to easily accommodate your pet's needs throughout the week: Weekends & Evenings - am 100% available every weekend and evening for long walks, dinner feedings, evening drop-ins, and overnight house sitting. Part-Time Days Off - On my days off from my part-time work, my schedule is completely open to accommodate any service you need, including mid-day walks and playing, check-ins or full-day care. Part-Time Working Days - On days I work, I am available for early morning walks/feedings and evening care to make sure your pet is look after before and after the standard workday. My routine is consistent and non-demanding so I am very flexible and able to adapt to your pet's preferred feeding and walk schedule.
