About Kate

Notice: I have one flight of stairs to get to my home, no elevator. If you have a large senior dog with hip issues, they may not be suited for my home. I wouldn't want them to get hurt. I can happily carry a medium or small dog.

I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember and have shared my life with dogs and cats for over 35 years. Friends and family know they can leave their beloved pets with me and have complete peace of mind, because I'll care for them as if they were my own.

Every pet has their own unique personality, and I love getting to know them at their own pace. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or shy and nervous, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I also have experience caring for rescue dogs and pets with medical conditions, including heart disease, kidney disease, epilepsy, and vision loss. I'm confident following medication schedules and giving them the extra patience, attention, and care they deserve.

Rescuing animals has always been close to my heart. Five of my own dogs were rescued from the streets, and I've also helped rescue and rehome many other animals over the years. During the 30 years I lived in Asia, I rescued many local street dogs and cats, helping them find the loving homes they deserved.

Because I work from home, your furry family member won't be left alone for long periods. They'll have plenty of company, cuddles, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I live in a spacious apartment with a secure enclosed balcony, and I don't currently have any pets, so your companion will have a calm, relaxed environment where they can settle in and feel at home.

We're also lucky to have a lovely park just a 3-minute walk away, perfect for regular leash walks. If your dog enjoys making new friends and, with your permission, I'd also be happy to take them to a nearby dog park for some extra fun and exercise.

My child is also a huge animal lover and has grown up surrounded by dogs and cats of all ages and personalities, knows how to be gentle and respectful around animals, so your pet will receive lots of extra love and attention while they're with us.

I have cosy bedding available for your pet, but you're very welcome to bring their own bed, favourite blanket, toys, or anything else that helps them feel relaxed and settled. I want their stay to feel as comfortable and familiar as possible—a true home away from home.

I also speak fluent Mandarin Chinese after living in China for 30 years. If it's easier for you, I'm more than happy to communicate in Mandarin.

我在中国生活了30年。如果您觉得用中文沟通更方便,欢迎随时用中文告诉我您的要求和宠物的情况,我会像照顾自己的毛孩子一样,细心、耐心地照顾它们。

I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone new. My goal is to make both you and your furry family member feel completely comfortable, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they're safe, loved, and well cared for.
