Hello, my name is Kate. I'm 35 and work as an editor for a digital publishing company. I'm currently based in South Wales but grew up in the Irish countryside, where my family had many cats and dogs.
My Dad was a vet and my Mum used to be a veterinary nurse, so a love of animals is in my genes.
I'm drawn to petsitting as it gives me an opportunity to spend time with and care for animals while their beloved owners are busy or away. I also know how much easier it is to relax on a holiday when you know your pets are being well looked after at home!
A responsible, reliable, and trustworthy house-sitter and pet-sitter, I have looked after many dogs, cats, rabbits, and even a few birds in the past.
I also have lots of experience looking after rescue animals and those with separation anxiety. I always send lots of pictures so that owners can see how their pets are doing, to keep their minds at ease.
As I work from home, my time is very flexible, so I am lucky enough to be able to participate in Pawshake to both supplement my income and to get the chance to meet some lovely pets in my vicinity.
Thanks for reading and have a great day!
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. 7 days before the booking, 50% refund afterward.

A massive thank you to Kate and Luke for looking after our 2 dogs Ralph and Sky and our house whilst my wife and I got married in Cyprus.
Kate was attentive from the first message and was happy to answer any questions we had as this was the first time we'd used pawshake.
When we had a meet and greet the dogs were loud as they usually were but soon took a shine to them and even more so on the 2nd meet where we went out for a little walk the day before we left.
The whole week we were away we received regular updates and pictures and the dogs looked so happy and well looked after.
When we arrived home from holiday we arrived into a spotless home and was left a lovely gift to congratulate us on getting married.
It's the little touches and the love and respect for both our home and our dogs is one of the main reasons I would recommend Kate to anyone looking for someone to look after their dogs and house the way you would.
We will 100% be using Kate again and again thank you so much for everything you did for Ralph, Sky and us.
Kate gave Gypsy a safe, loving and comfortable week while I was away. She sent photos which told the story of a very happy dog...sunbathing, snoozing and generally having an all-round super time thank you very much! If you are looking for a calm and worry free place for your pet to stay, look no further. Kate will give your pet such a lovely time and you peace of mind. What's more she couldn't be more accommodating and flexible. Totally recommend. Thank you Kate. ❤️
