Hello and welcome to my new social media account! Allow me to introduce myself, I'm The Animal Aunty, aka Kathy. I figured I'm a real aunty to 8 humans and surrogate aunt to my friends' kids, so why not to the animals I meet when I'm dog walking and pet sitting. My aim is to always look after the animals in the way the owner/pet parent wants them cared for.
I've always loved animals and last year took the step to set up my own small business, walking and caring for (mostly) dogs and cats. I've looked after a couple of rabbits too and would, within reason, look after any pet given the right instructions.
I volunteer on a regular basis at a dog rescue centre which I absolutely love. We get all sorts in there which has given me great additional experience with dogs of different sizes, needs, backgrounds, breeds and temperaments.
So far as a dog walker and house sitter, I've looked after old, young, sensitive, shy, scared, boisterous and special needs dogs, but I've found if I watch their body language to understand their boundaries, we can get to a place where they are happy to be looked after by me. This is something else I find really rewarding, my human clients are delighted and it makes me very happy too!
Above is the adorable Pablo, a puppy, who at 7 months old is really into everything! Just as well he's cute! I looked after him for the evening while his human family went out to a gig. He's also very friendly and loves snuggling up on my lap for a cuddle!
