About Cathy

Hi, I’m Cathy, a mum of three and a passionate animal lover with years of hands-on experience. I’m qualified in Animal Management and have received animal first aid training, ensuring your pets are in safe hands. Throughout my career, I’ve worked in dog kennels, doggie daycares, zoos, and as a college lecturer in animal care. I also have experience in the care of exotic animals, which allows me to cater to a wide range of pet needs.

What motivates me to be a pet sitter?
My motivation to be a pet sitter stems from my lifelong love for animals and my desire to provide them with the care they deserve. As a busy mum of three, I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy and experienced looking after your pets. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether it’s going on walks and providing them with the attention and affection they need in the comfort of their own environment. .

Previous Experience
I have extensive experience caring for all kinds of pets, from our cats, Bambi and Belle, to our guinea pigs, budgies, chickens, and loan pony, Beauty. With experience in dog kennels, doggie daycares, and zoos, plus a background in animal management and animal first aid, I offer the highest standard of care for all animals, including exotics and farm animals.

Child and Cat-Friendly Boarding
I welcome all pets for boarding as long as they are child and cat-friendly. My home is a safe and loving environment for pets, where they can feel comfortable and secure during their stay.

Whether it’s taking your dog for an exciting walk or providing comfort and care for your smaller or exotic animals at home, I’m dedicated to ensuring your pets are happy, safe, and well-cared for while you’re away.

In addition to pet sitting and dog walking, I also offer extra services such as gardening and plant watering. Gardening is one of my passions, I’d be happy to help care for your plants while you're away!
