About Kathy

About me: Hi, I'm Kathy! 🐶 With over 70 five-star reviews and nearly 3 years of dedicated pet care, I'm Surbiton's go-to for safe, loving, and professional dog walking and sitting. 

Why do I do it? I love all animals for their love, simplicity, and honesty! Their unconditional affection and straightforward nature remind me every day why I chose this path. 

I don't just "watch" your pets; I go beyond simple supervision to become a trusted part of their everyday world. Whether it's a solo walk, a drop-in visit, or an overnight stay, your pet gets my full, undivided attention: 1-on-1 care tailored to their needs. 

Why Pet Parents Choose Me: 

Unflappable & Adaptable: I'm not phased by whatever your pet throws at me! From
muddy paws to nervous energy, I stay calm and focused.

Your Way, My Care: I will look after your pet exactly as you want them cared for, respecting their specific routines and quirks, while treating them with the love I'd give my own family.

Safety First: Fully Dog First Aid Certified (Jan 2024) with a clear DBS check. I'm trained to
handle emergencies calmly and confidently.

Proven Track Record: Over 70 glowing 5-star reviews from happy families who trust me with their fur babies.

Real Experience: I regularly volunteer at a local animal rescue, handling dogs of all sizes,
breeds and temperaments in a kennel-free environment. I also have several years of
experience with wildlife rehabilitation.

Tech-Savvy & Transparent: Every walk is GPS-tracked, and you'll receive regular photos, videos, and detailed updates so you never worry.

Special Needs Expert: Experienced with medication administration, senior dogs, puppies, and nervous pets. 

My Philosophy: I believe in the 3 Fs: Food, Fuss, and Fun! 🍖🐾 Whether I'm walking your energetic pup or cuddling a rescue cat, I treat every animal like my own. I understand that your pet is family, and I'm here to give them the love and care they deserve while you're not around. 

Services: 

  • * Solo Dog Walks: 30, 45, or 60 mins (Max 2 dogs from the same household). 
  • * House Sitting & Overnight Stays: Keeping your home and pets secure and happy. 
  • * Special Care: Medication, elderly/nervous pets, and puppy socialisation. 

Note: Due to high demand, I am currently not accepting new overnight house-sit bookings for 2026, but I have availability for dog walking! 

Note: My overnight rate is £112 but I can't make the site accept this figure!

Let's Connect: Ready to give your pet the VIP treatment? Send me a message for a chat or a quote. I'd love to meet your furry family! 🐕✨
