Pet care experience

All creatures great and small. I love them all

I have been looking after pets and animals from the time I could walk. Living on our family farm In Somerset was the gate way for my love of all animals. Growing up I was surrounded by dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, ducks, sheep,cows. To help me understand life and to understand responsibilities my mum and dad gave me the responsibility of hand rearing the lambs and calves that had been neglected by their mothers. This to me was something I did with passion and love. Fast forward to adulthood. I moved away from England and made a life in Australia. There I had my own three fur babies. They were all either rescued or adopted. These guys were my life. We had a great pack and they were very loyal to me and I to them. Where I lived we could go to the beach, the park or down to the lake. I love being outside in nature and so did my boys. Then the time came for me to move away from Australia. My babies had passed on and I wanted to travel. The past 5 years I have been living part time in the USA. I met an American man and we got married and have a beautiful baby boy called speck. He is a chihuahua x Boston terrier. Who my husband rescued. He didn’t have a great start in life. But we have made up for that as he is spoiled rotten. He is now 19 and still acts like he’s 9. In America I started taking care of friends and family pets. Which led me to rover. I love the company and the joy it brings being around animals.There is no animal I will not care for. As I love them all equally. I am now back in the U.K and miss having animals around me. I help take care of my stepdads cockapoo Stanly most days. He is a energetic ball of love and my bff. I would love to help you care for yours whilst you are away. Your babies will be treated as if they are my own. I will care for them as if my life depends on it I have tried to put photos of all the animals I have cared for over time and some of me just loving on them. So as well as dogs and cats if you have any other pets that need looking after. I can do that for you.

Katie was amazing! Our old dog Izzie loved her. Katie stepped in at the last minute. Katie was very reliable. We had absolutely no worries about leaving our home and hound in her care. We received regular updates. Our hound and home were well cared for, left very clean and tidy. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Katie and we will definitely be asking her to sit for us again. 5 starts all round ☺️

Karie is our new go to! She was amazing, updates whilst we were away, which were lovely given how important our baby is to us. No drama’s. Our little man loved her and was super relaxed in her company. Would highly recommend.

Kate was lovely and our dog certainly missed her after she was gone. We were kept up to date with photos and messages whilst we were away to keep our minds at ease and when above and beyond with our dogs needs. Our home was kept lovely and tidy too. Thanks Kate

Katie was very friendly when she popped in to meet Dexter. We felt very comfortable leaving Dexter. She sent me lovely pictures & videos of him which was nice to receive and I could tell he was very happy in her company

I love all dogs big, small, old, young. To be able to care for your babies at the highest level. I would love to know everything about them. Their loves, hates, quirks, favorite pastimes. This way I can make their stay with me as fun and comfortable as possible.
