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.
