About Katie

About me:

I work remotely from home and I like to spend time outside, going on walks and hikes a couple of times a week. I think it would be great to bring dogs along with me! I am also a creative person, I have lots of hobbies including painting, writing, photography and videography.

I am offering my services as a dog walker and pet sitter because I already do so many activites that would be fun for animals too and would love to provide an opportunity for a pet to have things to do while their owner is away. I want to get my own pet soon so this would be a win win situation!!

Skills:

I am a gentle and patient person who will match the vibe of the animal. If they are playful and intense, I will play with them as well as soothe them with pats and cuddles. If they are an animal that needs a bit more time to build trust, I am here for that too! I will always pay attention to the pets needs to make them as comfortable as possible.

My experience with animals:

  • Claudia & Phoebe: My pets are a mother and daughter domestic short hair cats. Claudia is very anxious and shy but warms up when she trusts you. She loves to be brushed with her little hair brush. Phoebe is her curious little girl who is extremely interested whenever a new draw or door is opened and considers herself the neighbourhood watch for any cats that dare to come into our yard.
  • Baxter: Westy terrier who lives with my parents. I call him Lil Napoleon because he is the man of the house and everyone knows it. He is in charge and is very offended when you are not patting him!
  • Gus, Anouk and Atticus: My partner's parent's dogs, 2 Great Danes and a Vizsla. I walk them frequently with my partner, Tom and have a deep love for big dogs and the way they can hug you back!
  • Alice and Penny: A few years ago, I had my lovely pet rats that have unfortunately passed away. I adore rats and hope to get some in the future again.
  • Thank you for reading my profile, I hope you and your pet have a good day!

    Katie and her boyfriend Tom were the perfect people to look after both of our dogs. They were well loved and cared for the whole time we were abroad.

    Katie is extremely reliable and punctual in all of her dealings and you can feel calm knowing she is trustworthy and respectful. They even looked after our plants and the house to the highest standard.

    We can highly recommend Katie for her services and would definitely use her again!
