About Kathryn

I have had pets all of my life and have currently got two cats and a very stubborn basset hound. I have worked at a boarding kennels/cattery for the past three years so feel confident working with dogs and cats of all temperaments.
I am happy to accommodate any special needs a pet might have, this includes behavioural or medical needs. I also have experience with timid pets and understand the extra care they require. Let me know if your pet has any additional needs ahead of time and I will happily accommodate them.
I enjoy hiking and often take my own dog for a walk in the Pentland hills. I am also a big believer in breed-specific fulfilment activities and will try to incorporate activities like scent work or herding games into a walk. I tend to stick to quiet walking routes that are ideal for reactive or fearful dogs.

I offer dog walking, daily home visits and house sitting. I have experience in all of these roles and will ensure your pet is happy and safe in my care. As a vet student, I am comfortable caring for medically complex pets and happy to give medication etc.

Each home visit lasts 30 minutes, this gives me enough time to feed your pet, as well as give them lots of cuddles and treats.

Dog walks can either be 30 minutes or 1 hour but tend to be longer if the dog is enjoying themselves. I have my own car and I'm happy to transport pets :)

I regularly update my calendar. On days I am available, I'm happy to watch your pet at any time during the day (7am-7pm).
