Kind, Caring, Reliable and Experienced

40, Carer

Hello, I'm Katherine, a 40 year old animal lover currently living in the North East of England, but I also spend a considerable amount of time in London.

I have for many years been a full time carer for a close family member, a job which although challenging at times, I have loved every minute of.

I have been brought up around dogs,cats and horses, and have owned a bouncy Beagle, a beautiful Dalmation, a Boxer, two cats, Tiger and Bramble, and numerous ponies.

I enjoy reading, baking and walking in my spare time, and love visiting family in throughout the UK.

I have previously worked as a groom, on stud farms in Devon and Hereford, that bred Coloured horses and Morgan horses. I have experience with large breeds and small dogs, puppies and older animals. Horses, ponies,cats and kittens.
I also have experience of administering medication to horses, cats and dogs.

I'm quiet, reliable and trustworthy.
I will follow any routines you have already established for your animals, and provide regular images and updates for your piece of mind.

I am clean and tidy and will look after your home like my own.

I have an up to date DBS and will be fully insured shortly too.

I do not currently have a driving licence, but I'm happy to use public transport as necessary and can travel throughout England and Scotland, often at short notice.

I am more than happy to have a telephone/Whatsapp video call
with yourselves beforehand if you would like, and I also offer free meet and greets beforehand too.

I do not smoke or vape or drink alcohol.

Please do contact me if you think my profile may suit. 😊

* I do respectfully ask that my travel costs are covered. I always purchase train tickets as far in advance as possible in order to keep prices down*

Kind regards
Katherine

Katherine did a great job of looking after Kizzy and our home. We would welcome her back when we go away again

Communication before sitting was good, we agreed on train ticket reimbursement, sitting was good but on the other side the house was left in a bad condition. I found dog pee inside the house and lot of fouling in the garden (looks like no cleaning at all during all week). Dog looks good and happy during the sitting (and this is the most important matter) but I expect to find the house in the same condition I left it.

Katherine was great. Loads of communication beforehand. Barlow took to her immediately. She kept in touch throughout with updates on how he was doing. Happy contented dog on my return.

Katherine looked after our cat while we were away for the weekend, she stayed in touch, kept us up to date with excellent communication, and clearly was fond of our sweet girl Penelope. Our home was immaculate upon our return and most importantly, cat was happy and well cared for! We would absolutely recommend Katherine as a sitter and hope to see her again in future.
 
ANNA (London England, Aug 2024 - 2 nights)
Katherine kindly took good care of our cats at short notice while we were away for 10 days. It was helpful to know that the cats were in safe hands and to have someone to look after the house. We appreciated it and would recommend Katherine to others.

We joined your site a few months ago and this was our first experience using a house/cat sitter. Katherine was fantastic!! After answering our advert we met on a WhatsApp video call and we liked her immediately. We kept in touch by text over a number of weeks until the date when she arrived. Our cat took to Katherine straight away which was lovely. She kept in touch while we were away and it was obvious that both cat and house had been well looked after when we arrived home. We were so ... MORE

I really enjoyed meeting Katherine over the phone a few weeks before the sit, followed by various messages to clarify details. During the sit Katherine kept me up to date with Suki's antics, which was appreciated. The flat was as tidy and clean as I'd left it! And Suki looked healthy and happy. Thank you, Katherine, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and spending time with Suki!

Katherine was great and looked after our puppy so well. She communicated well and left the house very tidy.

Green garden!

Make sure the garden and pot plants are thriving when you get back - get a house sitter.
