The only Kat your Dog will Absolutely love is Kat! Kat has watched our mini Dachshund Olly for the last two days so we could tour around Edinburgh. Kat sent us photos of Olly enjoying his day, her messages and Ollys joy at seeing her each day made us feel we left our baby in the right caring and loving hands. She is a fantastic communicator and will love your pet likely just like you would. If I lived here she would be my go to pet sitter. If she is available to watch your pet I would grab her. Kat also did a beautiful drawing of Olly that had my wife in tears."

Compassionate Carer: Cultivating Care and Connection for Elders
| With six years of professional caregiving experience in Scotland, I have established myself as an inherently compassionate individual. My background in domiciliary care spans a diverse array of clients, allowing me to forge meaningful connections with both those I care for and their loved ones. My empathetic and trustworthy demeanor—underpinned by patience, warmth, and a keen understanding of my clients’ aspirations and requirements—has been instrumental in cultivating exceptional relationships. My clientele has presented conditions ranging from early to late-stage dementia, Parkinson's disease, and physical disabilities to mental health challenges, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and anxiety. My expertise extends to sensitive areas such as catheter, palliative, mobility support, stoma care, and continence management. The personal care services I offer include support with dressing, bathroom needs, medication reminders, grooming, nutrition assistance, and mobility support. Prior to venturing into professional caregiving, I volunteered to look after my beloved late grandmother—a period that sparked my unwavering commitment to aiding the vulnerable.
