Katrina – Scamps and Champs Cardiff Branch Manager

I have had animals as part of my life since childhood, but I started to rescue cats and ex breeding dogs just over 18yrs ago. I currently have three rescue dogs, Lola and Pixie are the most precocious, stubborn and delightful Shih Tzu girls and Beau who is the most gentle Cavalier King Charles, over the years he has helped several rescue cats and dogs find their paws and learn the ropes of living in their forever home. I am both enthusiastic and passionate about all animals and their welfare. I have shared my life and home with dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, parakeets and tropical fish, but I have a particularly soft spot for older pets and rescue animals.

I hold a Diploma in Canine Psychology and I’m simultaneously working towards my UK Rural Skills Certificate and Dog Whisperers Diploma. I also hope to complete a Diploma in Canine Myotherapy in the near future.

My background is in the Civil Service but I have always dreamt of realising my passion for working with animals and that is why after much research I am delighted to have joined Scamps and Champs offering a first class dog walking and pet care service.

Katrina’s experience and passion for animals is evident and we are so pleased to welcome her to the Scamps and Champs family, it’s a pleasure to have you on board! We are so excited to be offering our pet care services in Cardiff and Barry!

Please get in touch to discuss how Scamps and Champs Cardiff and Barry can help with your pet care needs. Check availability of our pet care services; dog walking, dog home boarding, cat sitting, overnight cat sitting and wedding chaperone service.

Hiring a Cat Sitter in Bristol

It can be a difficult decision to leave your cats when you take a holiday or go away with work. It may not be possible, or you may not want to keep asking a friend, neighbour or relative to cat sit for you. Your cat may not enjoy going to a cattery.

Another option is to hire use our Cat Sitting Service and hire a professional Bristol cat sitter.

What does a Bristol Cat Sitter Do?

A Bristol cat sitter will take care of your cat in your own home allowing your cat to stay in their own familiar surroundings. At Scamps & Champs Bristol a cat sitter will listen to you and provide a bespoke service according to your requirements. A Bristol cat sitter will visit your cat as many times as you would like during the day to feed your cat, change litter trays, give fresh water, and medications if required, with all the fuss and attention that your cat deserves.

Your cat sitter can also draw the curtains, turn your lights on and off, bring in any post and put the bins out giving your home that lived in look when you are not at home.

Using pet sitter software your cat sitter will send you updates at least daily. Photographs will be sent allowing you the comfort of knowing that your cats are being well looked after and are happy and relaxed at home.

How Many Times Will You Visit?

Your cat will be visited as many times during the day as you would like. If your cat is an inside cat, then you may feel once a day is enough. If your cat likes to go outside and hasn’t got access to a cat flap, we can visit in the morning and let your cat outside after feeding and then visit at teatime to let them back in again. If your cat is elderly or likes a lot of company more frequent visits may be preferable to check on your cat and give your cat companionship.

What if my cat doesn’t like new people?

A visit once a day may be enough if your cat is shy and timid. A cat sitter will always take the time to get to know your cat but only give affection if it is welcomed. If they don’t want affection or us to play with them, we will give them the space they need. We usually find that once they realise we are coming to feed them, they start to relax more and get used to us.

How Much Does A Bristol Cat Sitter Cost?

The price for cat sitting depends on how many visits and how many cats you have but visits start at £8.00 for 1-2 cats.

For a detailed quotation, please contact us for further information.

Scamps & Champs Bristol provide cat sitting services in Bristol and the surrounding areas.

Weddings and Pets in Halifax

Our pets are a big part of the family. Make your ‘Big Day’ perfect and let Halifax Scamps and Champs help with our Wedding Chaperone Service.

Why wouldn’t you want your pet there on the biggest day of your life as they are undoubtedly part of the family. Cats and Dogs love us unconditionally, so having them walk down the aisle with us carries a truly special significance. Having your pet present on your wedding day is something you don’t want to miss out on.

Let Halifax Scamps and Champs help and be there to chaperone your loved pet and make your day even more special.

An increasing number of venues are now welcoming dogs and cats to be part of the wedding celebrations. To make all of this possible a wedding pet chaperone service is needed to ensure your pet has everything they need so you don’t need to worry, and the day can go without a hitch.

This is where Halifax Scamps and Champs can help. We want to help your day go as perfectly as possible we recognise how important it is that you have your pet included in your wedding. We can ensure your pet is chaperoned to the wedding venue and by your side in all of your wedding photographs.

Our services commence by us coming to your home to meet you and your pet in person, this is to ensure that both you and your four-legged friend are happy with your chosen chaperone. Once everyone has become acquainted and you are completely comfortable, we will sit with you and you can tell us exactly how you wish your pet to be involved in your wedding day.

All of our wedding packages are bespoke and can be tailored to your individual requirements. Your cat or dog can be involved in as little or as much of your special day as you like. It is important that we meet your needs but that we also work together to meet the personality and requirements of your pet too. We recognise that a wedding venue is an unfamiliar environment for your furry friend and we therefore want to be there to support them every step of the way.

In addition, where possible we will try and maintain your cat or dog’s usual routine. We will ensure they are exercised before leaving, that they eat at their usual mealtimes and have their favourite food with them. Water will also be available at all times. We will try and encourage you to select a quiet zone for your pet at the wedding venue, which can be as simple as a small side room. This so that we can bring some of your cat or dogs home comforts along with them, such as their bed, a blanket or some of their favourite toys. This is also so that if the ceremony becomes too busy or overwhelming for them, we can take them back to their quiet room and settle them comfortably.

At Halifax Scamps and Champs our whole business and livelihood surrounds the professional care of animals. In addition, our staff have array of experience in caring for animals of all sizes and breeds. We therefore want to provide the best possible care whilst chaperoning your cat or dogs throughout the entirety of your wedding day, ensuring that you all have the best day possible together.

We will plan the day meticulously in line with your requirements and your pet’s personality, so that your day can include them in a stress free way. We will take care of all of your pet’s needs, by chaperoning them across the entire wedding period, for as long as you need. Ensuring you have the perfect wedding day with your best pet-pal by your side.

Our personal approach and real love of animals will make your pet feel safe and secure in our care.  We are fully insured, DBS checked and completely committed to your animals’ welfare.

Please do give me or one of our enthusiastic team a call or drop us an email.  Our number is a national number and there is always someone ready to answer your call.
