Dog lover with space & time for your beloved pooch

Pet care experience

I’m an experienced & responsible dog owner who has had reactive and senior rescue dogs while growing up in the family home, and now a gorgeous golden retriever of my own who I have raised from a pup. I regularly dogsit for a family member’s cockapoo too, all sizes are loved in our house! We also have a great network of dog walking friends with a range of breeds, reactivity and socialisation.

5* review - Katy is extremely passionate and knowledgable with dogs, she treats your fur baby exactly like her own. Biggie had a lovely few nights staying with her, Chris and Tiger. She sent regular updates & photos of what they had been upto and it totally put my mind at ease. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and reliable dog sitter then she is your woman! 😊

Katy was wonderful, Freida loved her stay there and especially her new friend Tiger. Freida is an old lady 16 plus years old and right from the meet and greet Katy was gentle with her and just let her settle in. Would definitely recommend and will hopefully book again

Katy and Chris were fantastic! Ruby had such a good time while she stayed with them. She got on so well with her buddy Tiger their golden retriever. We felt very reassured throughout her stay because Katy was excellent at keeping in touch with us with pictures and updating us what they all got up to. Will definitely book again and highly recommend Katy and Chris for your furry friends :)

Information Katy P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any reactivity or triggers I should be aware of on walks. I’ve been through lead reactivity with my golden retriever so feel confident with handling that! Also, if there are any medication or meal requirements, allergies for treats, or toys/routine that make your doggo feel comfortable.

A typical day

A typical day involves a 45min/1hr morning walk to the field for a run around and play with the ball before work starts at 9am, then some snuggling and quiet time before breakfast. Afternoon walk around 2pm for 45 minutes and then back again to chill or play at home for a while. Dinner at 5pm and evening lead walk at 7pm followed by snuggles on the couch then bed!
