Information Katie R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special requirements that I need to account for: Dietary Requirements, what kind of food, how often, and any known allergens; any medical conditions or medications I should be aware of; Temperament, any fears or triggers (e.g., loud noises, strangers), and how they interact with other animals or people; Routine, daily schedules/bathroom breaks, or specific habits I need to know about and finally, Emergency contacts, the vet's contact information and any specific instructions in case of emergencies.

A typical day

I’m extremely lucky to live in a beautiful country which has many different routes to walk your fury friend; I live near a number of different parks, beaches and nature reserves so the world is our oyster!!

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Katie - I am a PhD student and athlete, who is very passionate and experienced with dogs. I enjoy being outside and keeping active, and would be thrilled to take your dog for walks, and give them attention they deserve! Small/medium sized dogs, and puppies are my expertise, but dogs of all age and sizes are more than welcomed. I understand how special your furry friend is to you, and I will treat your pet as my own and give it all the love, care and attention they need! The 2 puppers featured in my profile currently live at my parents’, so won’t be with me when I’m caring for your fur babies. You’ll receive plenty of pupdates from myself during our time together, and I look forward to getting to know you and your lovely pets!

Katie was lovely with Pepper and she seems to have had a great time! Will definitely be using Katie again when I’m in Swansea 😁 thank you!

Katie was truly fantastic from the start of conversations, to the way she met us and the way she cared for Millie. Millie’s a nervy dog with mega separation anxiety but Katie clearly handled this with aplomb and managed to keep her happy all day long, m which is a real feat! Katie went out of her way to keep in touch, sending lovely photos and reassuring me all the way. You won’t find a more lovely girl to watch your dogs. Someone you can really trust your most special friend too. If I could give 100 stars, I would. Thanks again Katie.

Katie was absolutely amazing! We feel so lucky to have met Katie through Rover. She did a great job of looking after our 7 month old puppy husky. Very punctual with great communication throughout the whole process. She provided lots of love, fun and walks, whilst keeping us up to date with plenty of pictures. Burleigh loved Katie look after him! We can’t thank Katie enough for everything! We STRONGLY recommend!!!

I can’t recommend Katie enough! She stepped in short notice to walk my bulldog three times this week and was absolutely fantastic! She was reliable, caring and went above and beyond!! She sent lovely pictures of him smiling and having a great time along with detailed updates after each walk. My pup clearly had the best time. She even extended one of the walks because the weather was so nice, which was such a nice touch!!! I would definitely book again and couldn’t recommend enough! Thank you so much!!!!
