About Katie

I have always loved animals no matter big or small, and believe that all animals deserve the same love and care that humans do. I also have a degree in animal behviour. I have always been surrounded by animals from birth whether that's cats, dogs, reptiles, guinea pigs, or other small rodents. I have rescued animals from rats to blackbirds and don't discriminate based on species or breed! I have pet-sitted for the last 7 years from family, friends, to then recommendations by them to others. This has included day sitting of cats, to house sitting dogs for 3 weeks at a time. 

My apartment is one bedroom with a study, and a small, fenced balcony. I have the benefit of Carlton and Fitzroy gardens within a 10 minute walk, and the Royal Park close by as well. My partner (male) will sometimes accompany me for walks/sitting and will be present for boarding, please me let know if your pet doesn't like males and I'll make sure it's just me! :) I do work and so does my partner, so for any boarding/sitting, I cannot guarantee that your furry friend will be supervised at all times so please make sure this is suitable for them! 

I offer dog walking, pet sitting (at your home or mine), and day visits/care. I have just moved to Australia and leaving my own cat behind for this length of time was a hard decision but I know she's in great hands with my mum at home. I would love to look after your beloved pets with the same care that I provide my own, and offer them a companion whilst you're away. I'm a pretty laid-back person and love walks and being out in nature.

Katie was very easy to work with and provided wonderful updates on our two cats. On top of that it seems like the cats absolutely loved her and we will be sure to be booking again for our next vacation :)
