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!

Kate was fab with my little Milo. I was really nervous leaving him with anyone for the first time but Kate was really friendly and sent me a picture of him cuddled up on her lap and this put my mind at ease. Booked in again for June for a weeks stay 😊 thanks again for looking after him ☺️
Kate looked after our two dogs and three cats for two and a half weeks in our home. It's quite a full on task and yet Kate was completely at ease with all the animals, even when one of the dogs barked at her throughout the pre-meet! Arranging the details was easy and Kate was responsive and understanding of all the particular needs for each animal. They were all really well looked after and happy whilst we were away and we received regular updates and photos of them. The house was also really well looked after, it had clearly been cleaned when we returned and the bedding was stripped ready for a wash.
Honestly I can't recommend Kate enough to look after your fur babies. We will hopefully be able to use her again in the near future!
