About Katie

Hi there!

I have a deep love of animals of all kinds, I grew up in houses full of dogs, cats, horses, goats and chickens! I have lots of dog experience (no dog is too small or too big in my eyes!).

I am from Yorkshire in the UK and I still don't know for certain if I am staying here long term, so I am yet to commit to a little furry friend of my own, so I miss having them in my life dearly, which is why I dog/cat sit! I have so much love to give and I often spend my spare time walking and would love the addition of a four legged friend to enjoy my walks with.

I would love to offer my time and loving home for your special furry companion. I live in an apartment in the heart of Coolangatta, which gives me a wealth of potential dog walking options. I work as a contract teacher and have a very flexible schedule which means that the pooches are never left alone for long periods of time and will be given at least two big walks a day. I love nothing more than finishing a day of school and going for a lovely long sunset dog walk on North Kirra beach, or a beautiful morning walk at Dreamtime beach near Kingy. I am happy to discuss your housesitting needs too if you would prefer for your furry friend to stay at home. Through my other account on aussie house sitters, I have 6 glowing 5 star reviews which I am happy to share with you for peace of mind (I have attached 2 reviews in the photos for your viewing). 

I have an upto date police certificate if you would like to view. I would love to chat more about what you and your petfriend might be looking for. Happy to meet beforehand to see if we are a suitable match. 

Looking forward to hearing from you soon!

All the best,

Katie

These guys are lovely. I don't want to leave a glowing review for fear they may get totally booked out. The fur babies loved them as did I. definitely booking in again in the future.

Joel is an arborist so is a very outdoor person and we have grown up in the countryside, always walking, hill climbing and spent countless days exploring the woodlands of England. I grew up on a farm and have always had a passion for caring for animals. I also have the bonus of being a contract teacher which means I don't work endless hours. We are constantly going for walks and exploring state forest and parks. We have both trained dogs of our own in England and know how they function and what they need from us. We both also have had recent police background tests for our visa requirements which can be viewed for your peace of mind.
