Helpful House Sitter

38, Teacher

Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I'm Katherine (Kat) and I'm originally from Portsmouth. I've moved around a fair bit and have lived overseas. I now live in the South West of England.

I joined this site in July 2022 and was lucky enough to secure a housesit for two weeks in the Summer. I had a fantastic time and am keen to do more housesits and exploring.

I love to be outside- walking, cycling, swimming and the occasional run. Last year I got my first garden and have found a real love for gardening. When I'm not outside, I enjoy reading and renovating my old house. I love looking at old buildings and am always up for an invite inside an interesting house!

I was a full-time teacher for 15 years but have recently moved into private tutoring and the odd day of supply teaching.

I am friendly, respectful and reliable. I don't smoke.

Please note, I have a cat allergy so I'm not looking to sit cats, sorry!

This is the 2nd time Kat has house sat for us and I feel completely confident she does a great job of looking after our pets and house. I will always ask her now before placing an advert. The house is always lovely and tidy and the dogs seems really happy…thanks kat

You're very welcome! I would like that too. Kat x
Kat was great to have as our house sitter. Communication was very easy and she was really accommodating to a slight date change. Both our dogs looked really happy on our return and the house was spotless. I’d happily have Kat to pet sit again and would recommended to others.

Kat has just looked after our home and animals for a week. Sadly the weather has been horrendous but she sent regular cheerful updates on the ponies which was lovely to hear. The house was just as we had left it and I am very grateful to Kat for doing such a good job and we would highly recommend her and love her to return to take care of our house and pets.

I had a good feeling about Kat from the start and felt rest assured our home as well as our dog would be well taken care of. She kept in touch via WhatsApp and informed us immediately about a problem at the house. On our return from our holiday it was such a pleasure to find the house immaculately clean and even fresh bedding on the beds. I would highly recommend Kat as an excellent house sitter to anyone.

Kat looked after our house and much loved dog Truffle beautifully. The house was spotless on our return and our dog very happy. Communication was good and prompt we would happily have Kat house/dog sit for us again.

Thank you for the lovely review!
This was our first time inviting a house sitter into our home to look after our dogs and gerbil. We were slightly nervous about leaving everything in the care of someone we'd only just met, but from the off Kat made us feel relaxed and comfortable that all was going to be fine. We were away for two weeks and Kat took excellent care of our animals and home while we were away, and I'm sure the house was cleaner and tidier than it was when we left. Kat came over the day before we left so we could ... MORE
