Caring for Pets with Kindness, Experience and Trust
Hello, I’m Kate, and I’ve shared my life with animals for over 50 years.
Since the 1970s, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities, as well as a much-loved pet rabbit. Living with animals over so many years has taught me that every pet is unique, with their own routines, preferences and little quirks. Taking the time to understand those individual needs is at the heart of the care I provide.
My professional background is somewhat different from many pet sitters. For over 18 years, I’ve worked as an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist, supporting people through some of life’s most challenging times. That career has strengthened the qualities I believe matter just as much when caring for animals—patience, reliability, compassion, attention to detail and the ability to recognise when someone, whether human or animal, needs reassurance and understanding.
When you entrust your pet to my care, you can be confident that they’ll be treated with genuine kindness and respect. I aim to provide a calm, loving environment where they feel safe, relaxed and well cared for while you’re away.
Your Peace of Mind
For your reassurance, I am:
✔ DBS checked
✔ Fully insured for pet sitting and home boarding
✔ A reliable local business based in Malmesbury
✔ Committed to providing regular photo and message updates during your pet’s stay or visits
Whether I’m welcoming your dog into my home or visiting your cat in the comfort of their own surroundings, I care for every pet as though they were one of my own.
I understand that leaving a beloved pet can be difficult. My aim is to make the experience as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pet—so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re in safe, caring hands.
I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pet and discuss how I can help.
I look forward to meeting you soon.
