About Me

My name is Katie Hamer and I live in Gledhow. I was a primary school teacher/ deputy head for 24 years and then I made a life-changing decision and I got a dog. Enter Eric the Springerdoodle!

Eric spent much of his early life in doggy day care. I went to work and he spent his day having fun with other dogs. In 2012 I decided that I really wanted to join him. I was ready for a new challenge, a better work life balance and set up my own pet care business. Over the years I have played with puppies, cared for lizards, tickled guinea pigs, fed rabbits, and spent many hours looking after cats while their families were away.

Then in 2018 my beloved Eric was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Through amazing holistic veterinary care he enjoyed three more years of squirrel-chasing, tennis ball-fetching, and barking at the postman! As he became more ill I limited my pet visits to spend more time at home.

Sadly Eric is no longer with us but his legacy lives on. I now focus solely on group dog walking and spend my days striding through wonderful parks, woods and fields. I am incredibly lucky to still get my ‘doggy-fix’ with my wonderful clients; the KPP Crew!

I am fully insured and trained in canine first aid.
