About The Comforts of Home Pet Care
Hello I am Kate Younger.
I have set up The Comforts of Home Pet Care as I understand how difficult it can be to book your cat or dog into a cattery or kennels. You may need to make arrangements at short notice or even have a pet for which there is no standard accommodation available such as a rabbit or even a lizard.
My main concern is your pets comfort and safety so you can be confident that I will put them first when you are not available.
I am 40 years old and have had pets all my life and continue to do so, so I understand as a pet owner their needs and your wish for them to be cared for as you do every day.
In addition to my years as a pet owner I have studied an animal care course at Kirkley Hall College and worked in the animal care sector. I am continuing to extend my knowledge by currently studying a distance learning course of Professional Pet Care and Veterinary Practice Assistant for a Diploma.
As I am studying this course I am a student member of the International Society of Animal Professionals and once finished I will become a full time member of this Society. I also abide by the Society's code of conduct which can be found on their websiteURL: http://www.vitalmultimedia.com/isap/
I have also completed a Canine First Aid course through Muttamorphosis Dog Training which was presented by a Veterinary Nurse andattended a Dog Whispering training course at Morpeth Adult Learing Centre, presented by an ex Military Dog handler and Guide Dog Trainer.
If like me your pet is an important member of the family be it a dog, cat, rabbit, hamster or something a little different like a lizard then let me care for them when you cannot either because of work, holiday or family event.
I will visit your home at pre-arranged times to feed, clean, groom or just play with your pet.
I can administer any medications and offer 'Newbie visits' where I will check on the newest'fur baby' member of your family. I also offer pet transport to vet or groomers appointments.
I am CRB checked and fully Insured. You can see any of my certificates on our intial meeting to discuss your requirements.
I am based in Blyth, Northumberland and can cover upto 10 miles from Blyth.
Microchipping will be required by law for dogs from 2016. Ihave attended a Veterinary taught microchipping course and I am certified to Microchip your, cat, dog, rabbit, or other small furries.

We also used Kate when we had our engagement party. Kate came over for the evening to look after Misty and I enjoyed my night knowing Misty was in good hands. The most important thing is that Misty loves Kate and is always happy to see her. Leaving her through the day was the hardest thing about getting Misty but having Kate to pop in through the day has completely changed her (and our)perception of being left. We know she is in very capable and caring hands! Thank you Kate.

I just wanted to write a review from last week when you were looking after our dog Jessy.
The service provided was brilliant, three days of pop in visits for Jessy to stretch her legs, run around the garden and have Kate to play with for half an hour a day. The forms were very simple and covered all basis' and the little text updates and notes left on a note pad were great touches and helped us feel at ease!! Thank you very much Kate.
Jessy looks forward to the next time.

After submitting our enquiry, Kate's reply came in a timely and professional manner, with prices being very competitive, considering the little time we had given.
Her loving nature towards our cats and concern for our situation was very much appreciated. We will be forever thankful. We whole heartedly recommend Kate's pet sitting services to all who read this.

The paperwork was simple and self explanatory, covering all the legal requirements for both parties and the checklist you left was invaluable prior to our departure, allowing us to ensure everything was in place before we went away.
It was fantastic that you were so flexible with the visiting plan so we knew Charlie would be well catered for, and when we asked for an additional visit last minute you were happy to include an extra visit.
We asked if you would buy some fresh prawns (Charlie’s regular weekly treat), you didn’t hesitate to oblige and treat him. You agreed to text us once a day to let us know how things were going and the information you sent was detailed and reassuring that he was doing ‘just fine’.
Basically, Charlie loved you, we know he enjoyed your visits each day, fresh food and water, chatting together on the back step, playing pass with the plastic golf ball before he went out or settled himself down for a nap, even engaging with his little friend Camilla (who doesn’t live with us but visits often).
Your pricing is very competitive and worth every penny for the service you provided, we know there were times when you went above and beyond your responsibility, and we are very grateful for that.
We were so pleased with the service you provided we have already booked you again for our next trip away, and look forward to seeing you again.
Many thanks again – Julie, David, Samantha, Sophie and Charlie (oh and don’t forget Camilla) xx
