About Us: Charlie and Chums Pet Services

Hi, we're Katie & Martin, and we are the heart and soul behind Charlie and Chums Pet Services. We're passionate animal lovers who started this business because we believe every pet deserves personalised care and attention, just like a member of the family.

Our Story
We’ve always had a love for animals, and after years of taking care of our own pets, we decided to turn our passion into a profession. What began as a hobby quickly turned into a full-time commitment, and we haven’t looked back since! In September 2024, Katie decided to take the plunge and transition into full-time pet care, turning Charlie and Chums into the business it is today.

Charlie the Chihuahua is the heart of our business and the inspiration behind the name “Charlie and Chums.” You’ll also recognize his adorable face on our logo! He’s truly the face of the business. While he’s not involved in every service we offer, he occasionally joins us on walks and overnight stays. Charlie brings warmth and joy to everything we do, and we love that he’s a part of these moments.

Together, we combine our skills and experience to offer exceptional dog walking and pet sitting services that give our clients peace of mind.

Meet Katie

Hi there! I'm Katie, and I’m the owner and lead pet care provider here at Charlie and Chums Pet Services. I've been a dog walker and pet sitter for over two years, and in that time, I’ve gained invaluable experience working with all kinds of animals. My love for pets goes back over 20 years, as I've always had family pets growing up—dogs, cats, guinea pigs.

I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, which is why I approach every pet with the same level of love, care, and attention I would give my own. I am certified in Canine First Aid, insured with Pet Plan Sanctuary, and DBS checked for your peace of mind. Whether it’s walking your dog, checking in on your cat, or staying overnight, I tailor my services to suit each pet’s unique needs.

When I’m not out walking dogs or playing with pets, you’ll probably find me spending time with my own dog, Charlie—a lovable and quirky Chihuahua who’s been my best friend for years. He's an essential part of the family, and I love that he gets to be a part of the services we provide here at Charlie and Chums!

Meet Martin

Martin is a huge pet lover, not just dogs but all kinds of animals! He’s experienced in handling everything from playful puppies to more delicate creatures like cats, rabbits, and other small animals. Martin’s favorite part of pet sitting is the one-on-one attention he can give to each animal. He enjoys building connections with pets of all shapes and sizes, making sure they feel comfortable and at ease while their owners are away.

Our own dog, Charlie the Chihuahua, loves Martin, but there's no doubt that Katie is still his favorite human (much to Martin’s dismay). That said, Martin is always there to provide plenty of love and care whenever Charlie, or any other pet, needs it.

You’ll often meet Martin during the initial meet-and-greet where you, your pet(s), and we can all get to know each other. This gives you the chance to see how we work together, and it helps your pets get familiar with both of us. Martin occasionally steps in to help with the business, whether it’s dog walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays. We’re a team, and we’re both here to give your pets the best care possible.
