I understand that many pet owners work long hours, enjoy evenings out, travel for business or simply need an extra helping hand. That’s why my services are focused around the times when they’re needed most, with lunchtime visits, evenings and weekends available to fit around your lifestyle. Whether your dog needs a midday walk to break up the day, your cat would benefit from a reassuring home visit while you’re away, or you need dependable weekend or evening pet care, you can count on me to provide reliable, compassionate and professional support. As a fully DBS-checked, fully insured and Pet First Aid qualified pet sitter, your pet’s safety and wellbeing are always my highest priorities. Every visit is tailored to your pet’s individual routine, ensuring they receive the love, attention and care they deserve in the comfort of their own home.

Information Karin B. would like to know about your pet

Tell Me About Your Pet The more I know about your pet, the better I can provide the safe, loving, and personalised care they deserve. Before any booking, I’ll ask you to share important information about their daily routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, personality, likes and dislikes, medical conditions, medications, allergies, vaccinations, veterinary details, emergency contacts, and any behavioural traits or anxieties. I’ll also ask about favourite toys, sleeping arrangements, house rules, and anything else that helps your pet feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Every detail, no matter how small, helps me maintain your pet’s normal routine and ensures they receive the highest standard of care, giving you complete peace of mind.

A typical day

A Typical Day with a Dog Every dog is unique, so I tailor each visit to their individual personality, routine, and energy levels. A typical day might begin with a cheerful greeting, fresh water, breakfast if required, and a chance to stretch their legs with a fun walk suited to their age and ability. Whether your dog loves exploring woodland trails, sniffing around the local park, or simply enjoying a gentle stroll, they’ll receive plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection. Back at home, I’ll ensure they are comfortable, clean, and settled, with time for play, cuddles, grooming if needed, and any medication administered according to your instructions. Throughout the visit, I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your best friend is happy, safe, and well cared for. A Typical Day with a Cat Cats are happiest when their familiar routine is respected, so every visit is centred around making them feel safe, comfortable, and content in their own home. I’ll provide fresh food and water, clean litter trays thoroughly, and spend quality time with your cat in the way they enjoy most—whether that’s interactive play, gentle fuss and cuddles, brushing, or simply sitting quietly for company. I’ll also check their overall wellbeing, ensure they have everything they need, administer medication if required, and keep an eye on their environment while you’re away. Before leaving, I’ll send you an update with photos and let you know how they’re doing, giving you complete peace of mind until you’re back home.

I’ve known Karin for several years and met many of her own cats, who’ve all been looked after perfectly and all fit, healthy and happy cats. My experience with Karin professionally is that she never fails to go the extra mile and is a caring and experienced caregiver to animals. She’s been absolutely lovely with both my dogs (we had 2, but now just 1) and my daughter’s 3 gorgeous, but naughty mini-sausage dogs. I have complete trust and faith in her abilities to care for all pets with both love and affection, ensuring all of their needs are met and exceeded. I would highly recommend her, she’s reliable, trustworthy, and professional with a genuine love for animals of all kinds. I particularly like the fact that she’s animal first aid trained and can provide an up to date DBS check.

Karen B has been invaluable in providing care for our Jack Russell, Pablo. Karin has proved herself by being reliable, caring and trustworthy. Pablo loves her visits and greets her with enthusiasm. Her added first aid knowledge is reassuring. We know he is in safe hands.

Karin took care of my 7 cats whilst we had a family trip to Center Parcs, 1 of my cats is very nervous and she did a fantastic job taking care of her needs especially with medication. She kept us informed of the cats wellbeing, sent photos without us requesting and kept the place immaculate. Absolutely 10/10 service provided and would absolutely welcome her return for our future trips. Thank you again!
