Highlights
Pet care experience
Calm, quiet, dependable dog care
Please send me your dogs. I will love them like my own and probably form a healthy obsession with them - please consider that a good thing. I have experience with nervous rescues as well as lead reactive dogs, and have good instincts and intuition. I am confident handling dogs and responsible when out and about.
Cat care experience
Katie also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Ratings and reviews
Teddy absolutely loved his stay with Katie! Katie took the time to meet Teddy before he stayed with her, and from that moment she gave him so much attention and made him feel completely at ease. She made it feel like a true home from home and went above and beyond to cater to his every need. I’m not sure Teddy even wanted to come home! Katie kept us updated throughout his stay with regular messages and lovely photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. It was so reassuring to know he was safe, happy, and so well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Katie to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy home-from-home for their furry family member. Thank you so much, we’ll definitely be booking with you again!
I cannot recommend Katie highly enough. We have a Doberman who, while has been in kennels, hasn't boarded before. Katie has a wonderful energy, came for a meet and greet beforehand and sent up pupdates while we were away. Will definitely use Katie again to look after Ellie ❤️
Katie did a wonderful job babysitting our dog - he's a nervous boy but he warmed to Katie and her partner really quickly. They sent lots of updates and when we got home, he was happy and settled. Would definitely hire again :)
Thanks Katie for having Luna. She was well looked after, and I appreciated the updates even though I was out of signal range!
Katie was very friendly and really good with our nervous rescue terrier, Todd. We'd happily book her again soon. Thank you Katie.
Katie did another drop-in for our Golden Retriever. She is very reliable and spent an hour with him when we were out for the day. Communication was excellent and we came home to a very happy dog. Would definitely use her again.

Schedule
I work a full time Mon-Fri job at The University of Bath. It’s a hybrid role so some of my days are at home (or at your house, looking after your pet), and I can typically choose these days. My Thursdays are committed to an existing dog sit arrangement, on a weekly basis.

Safety, trust & environment
Lots of love. Lots of attention. I have strong instincts for looking after pets, having grown up in a busy household with many dogs, cats, horses and more !
A typical day
I am super active so if your dog is high-energy, I can offer both walking options but would happily take them on a run, either on the paths or out in the fields and tracks for more of a fun trail run. I'm also equally happy with a gentle stroll - whatever the dog needs to get out their system!

- I would appreciate knowing about any habits out on walks, or things you like to maintain consistency with (i.e. sitting before crossing a road), or about any lead reactivity issues etc.
