Caring Kath

I adore animals, having always had dogs ,cats and rabbits in my life. I worked as a warden in a dog and cat home in Cyprus. More recently, I have had two dogs in Spain, one rescue dog - a cross labrador and the other a sheepdog, plus two Jack Russells that my husband brought from Holland. I also had a family of cats: the mother plus her 4 kittens, they reached the grand age of 18! I have worked as a dog sitter in Spain for a young cocker spaniel and for another in Llanelli, Wales. Last year I worked for a family in the Vale of Glamorgan for almost the whole of August caring for their dog, cat and gerbil. In the summer of 2019 I looked after a French bulldog and a Jack Russell, both wonderful dogs in Abergavenny.
I will treat your pets as if they are my own - walking them regularly, playing with them and giving them lots of attention and love. Also, should they need it, I will take them to a vet and ensure they have the correct care and medication.
I am quite an experienced gardener too, so very happy to look after your plants, cut grass and do some pruning if required.
I am keen to be in Wales for the summer and am looking for positions in Cardiff, Llanelli, Swansea or Pembrokeshire areas, from 1st July to beginning of September.

Photos were sent to us regularly and we felt completely comfortable leaving the dogs in their charge. The chickens were similarly ... MORE

This was my first introduction to Housesitters as well as the first time I had been away on holiday leaving my very precious 3 year old Labrador Ottie. I could not have asked for a nicer couple. Kathy and Dirk were very friendly and absolutely wonderful with Ottie who loved them. They not only looked after him superbly, they looked after my garden as well as having a welcome home meal ready for me on the night I returned. What a wonderfully caring and kind couple and I just hope that in future ... MORE
