About Pets Go Walkies
My name is Kari and I have been running Pets Go Walkies dog walking and pet sitting company in Cardiff since September 2007, walking dogs, cat sitting, puppy sitting and small pet sitting. Currently I run the business single handedly which means that I am able to provide a personal service to clients and their pets.
I have always loved animals and growing up I had many pets that I adored including dogs, cats, rabbits, tortoises, hamsters, guinea pigs and fish.
My last cat was an adorable19 year old ginger & white fluffy cat called Sox who sadly passed away in June this year.
Throughout my life, whenever family, friends, housemates & neighbours have gone on holiday I have usually been the one they have asked to care for their pets while they are away.
I have also volunteered for The Cinnamon Trust which has involved walking dogs in Cardiff as well as pet sitting cats.
I have spent much time studying the care of dogs, cats and small pets, pet first aid and dog training techniques as well as dog & cat behaviour.
Many people have told me how their cats have disliked having to go into catteries. Yet I know how difficult it can be to ask a friend or neighbour to look after your pets when you are away. You worry that you are imposing on them and whether they really have the time to give your pets the attention they require or whether they have enough experience to be able to care for them like you do. Thus I felt that pet sitting would be a good alternative to catteries and pet boarding kennels.
Plus people sometimes don't have anybody to walk their dog while they are at work or if they have an illness or disability. So I decided to start Pets Go Walkies.
