Based in East Oxford. I currently have 2 large dogs and 1Leopard Gecko.
I have worked with animals my entire adult career.
I provide dog walking and home visits for any type of pet. So for example, if you are going on holiday and need someone to come and feed, water and clean out your rabbit while you are gone.
I walk dogs on an individual basis, so the time spent with your dog/s is just for them. This is beneficial if you have a dog that can be reactivate with other dogs, recovering from surgery and needs one 2 one attention, has a disability that makes walking in groups problematic or an elderly dog that just wants a quiet gentle stroll and wouldn't cope so well being on a multiple dog walk. I am currently able to offer dog walks on weekdays only.
My standard dog walks are 45-60 mins long @ £12 each walk. I am able to offer shorter walks for puppies and elderly dogs approx 30 mins depending on requirements at a reduced rate, this can be discussed during our meeting.
I will provide a free meet and greet for you and your pet so we can discuss your needs and I can get to know your pet a little bit before starting any care for them.
The pet you wish to have care provided for should be available for me to see at the meeting (although I know this isn't always possible with cats!) this is especially important if I would be walking a dog.
I have been triple vaccinated against Covid19. If you need me to, I am more than happy to wear a face mask during our meeting and I always sanitise my hands before entering a customers home.
My main experiences have been with:
dogs, cats, guinea pigs, lizards, snakes, budgies, tropical and marine fish. And also have experience with rabbits, rats, mice, amphibians. I am also happy to deal with large birds like parrots and parakeets.
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
Katie is polite, conscientious and great with our pets. The pets seem to have had as good a holiday as we did!
Katie looked after our African grey parrot Alfie at short notice. We were so happy she agreed to look after him and we had no regrets. From initial contact, she was very professional. She paid a visit to see Alfie and seemed completely at ease with him. She updated us while she looked after him so we were able to enjoy your time away. Thank you Katie!
I am trained in animal care from the Institue of Animal Technology. I have also been trained in some medical aspects of looking after animals. I have over 20 years experience of keeping reptiles.
