Highlights
Pet care experience
Professional animal carer and lover
I've worked in the pet trade as a reptile specialist and in the zoological industry as a professional aquarist for SEA LIFE centres in the UK and Australia, along with looking after my pet kids at home. I also possess a level 4 in Animal Behaviour and Wildlife Conservation from the University of Wolverhampton. I am confident and happy to care for dogs, cats, rodents, lizards, amphibians, non-venomous snakes, aquarium and pond fish, exotic birds and chickens (indoor and outdoor), and various mammals such as ferrets, skunks and tanukis. I pride myself on providing high quality care for any animals that I am responsible for, and I will follow any guidance or routines closely to ensure your pets feel safe while you're gone.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Home Care I always leave my clients homes in the same condition I found them in, I care for the home as well as the pets. This often includes: Watering plants Hoovering and mopping General surface cleaning in living areas, kitchens and emptying bins (provided the relevant cleaning products are available) Bathroom, shower, toilet cleans (after extended stays) Garden cleaning/tidying (poop removal) I also like to provide all of my own food, so you won't come home to empty food cupboards. My clients come home to happy pets and a clean happy house ❤️
Ratings and reviews
Katy looked after my fours dogs and cat for the week. Gave regular updates throughout the week. Very attentive and they dogs had a great week
I could not have felt more at ease knowing that my 3 dogs were with Katy. She was absolutely brilliant. Katy ensured my dogs were in their normal routine and gave them all the love they needed whilst I was away. I would 100% recommend Katy!
We couldn’t be happier with the care Katy provided while looking after our big cat Bentley and our home. From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing Bentley was in such capable and loving hands. Katy went above and beyond to ensure he was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Coming home was an absolute pleasure, everything was spotless, calm, and exactly as we left it. No mess, no drama, just a beautifully maintained home and a very content cat. Katy’s attention to detail and genuine kindness made all the difference. We wholeheartedly recommend Katy to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable sitter. Thank you, Katy, you are a keeper ❤️
Katy did an amazing job with Otto and he was so looked after. Otto loved his time and Katie kept a real eye on Otto and his recovery from surgery and acted when needed when she noticed Otto wound looked sore. 100% would recommend Katie
Fantastic again dogs love seeing both of you and always are extremely well taken care of thanks again
Absolutely fantastic sitters came back and the dogs were the happiest I’ve seen them and you could tell they’d been taken care off during our break highly recommend

Schedule
I'm currently unemployed while I'm building my artist business doing pet and animal portraits and pyrography, so I can be available most days and potentially at short notice. Your pets will be a priority and I will do my best to fit my routine around your pets needs.
