Hi I'm Katie, I’m a dedicated animal lover with hands-on experience caring for a wide range of pets, including a Labrador, several cats (one with medical needs), as well as hamsters, guinea pigs, and a tortoise. Through owning and caring for these animals, I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, and level of care required. I currently have 2 outdoor cats and a tortoise of my own. I homeschool my 2 Daughters aged 13 and 15, so I spend most of my day at home, with plenty of time to give your pets lots of attention. My Husband & 3 children also adore animals. I’m confident in providing attentive, reliable pet sitting tailored to your pet’s individual needs—whether that’s energetic walks, gentle handling for smaller animals, or extra patience and care for pets requiring medication or special attention. I take the time to ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after while you’re away. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. You can count on me for trustworthy, compassionate care and peace of mind knowing your pets are in safe hands. For cat, dog or small animal home visits I can offer 1 or 2 visits per day to feed them and spend some time with them. These visits last between 30 minutes to an hour each time. I'm also happy to help with jobs like watering plants and emptying the post box whilst you're away. For dog walks and I can tailor this to the needs of your dog, we can go in the countryside for a full afternoon, or just a slow amble around the playing fields or a game of fetch. For daily or overnight boarding your dog or dogs would have a comfortable bed in our kitchen area, separate from the cats. We don't have a dog of our own at the moment, and only take one dog or 2 dogs from the same household at one time. It is important they are housetrained and can live alongside cats and teen aged children during the day. In some cases I can also accommodate small animals for boarding, please enquire. I can also offer transport to and from our home between the hours of 9.30am and 6.30pm.
