About Katie

I'm Katie and I'm a massive animal lover for all breeds, ages, sizes and needs. 🐾

I have a lot of experience with animal hosting, visiting and walking both in Australia and the UK. I have worked for animal charities over the years including fostering, rehoming and volunteering at shelters. It's passion of mine to care for animals and to give them the love attention that they need and deserve.

I have a 12 year old Chihuahua x Yorkie named Sheldon who is used to having lots of furry friends visiting whilst their owners are away. He is very placid and sleeps most of the day as he is an older guy and wont pay our guests too much attention as he is very well socialised and is his normal 😀

My home has a secure yard and lots of open space inside for playtime for our house guests. We are very adaptable to your pets needs and love having them snuggling on the sofa and welcome to stay in our bedroom if that is what is allowed at home. We also have lots of room for crates if this is where they normally sleep. We promise a home from home stay and they will recieve lots of love and attention.

I send daily updates with photos and videos so you get to see how your pets are getting on, plus walks will be included with homestays. I am very active and love walking, so this can include multiple walks and longer strolls if you have an energic pooch!

Meet and greets are esstential to make sure your loved ones will be happy in our home environment, I also encourage a nice little walk around the block so our pets get to meet eachother outside and also calms any excitement, followed by viewing my home 😀

I have a valid/upto date police check, i'm reliable and honest. I am very patient and want to make sure your pet has the best time in my home. I'm happy to answer all your questions during enquiries and will be contactable 24/7 whilst hosting furry friends

Doggy Day Care

Firstly, Katie was able to look after Maple on short notice and was relaxed with open communication. Katie was very welcoming to Maple and ensured I was kept updated with pictures and messages even for a short pet stay. Katie's little pooch was really cute and friendly with Maple. I had no issues with Katie and would definitely recommend her 👌
