Kate

More Information

Hello . . . . I am Kate and I am Scottish, although living mostly in Southern Andalucia. I spend more time in UK these days as I have two sons and two grandchildren in London. I design knitwear (mainly, but not only, for children) and I also teach yoga and spiritual/personal development. My other interests include reading, yoga . . horse riding . . . and walking my dog, Piper.

My father was a gamekeeper and so I was brought up with animals. I have worked with and looked after dogs and horses for many years.

Piper is a GSD (rescued as a very sick wee puppy) and we are now back in Spain after an amazing summer road trip. We are now preparing our trip and are booked to house and Bobo sit over Christmas and new Year. Piper and Bobo have already met and bonded so we are all looking forward to spending Christmas together! <3

We spent a month in Wiltshire with Molly the wonderful wolfhound. :) And then in Okehampton with Murphy from Cyprus. Just fabulous! We then visited friends in Cornwall, family in London and then headed back from Portsmouth.

I have undertaken various house sittings over the years .... mainly in our local community in Spain where people largely depend on each other to take care of their houses and animals. So dogs, horses, cats, chickens and donkeys do tend to come with the territory!

If you are open to the possibility of a sitter with a pet ....... My boy is now 8 years old and on our trip we have been house sitting and also visiting various friends who all have dogs. I can supply references and videos of him interacting with dogs, cats and chickens. In fact, Piper has proven to be an amazing uncle to all ......... he has the youth and energy to romp and play while also knowing when to be firm and set a good example to younger dogs. Dogs rock!!

We look forward to connecting with you and your pets. <3
