About Us
Hello and welcome to Pawfect Day.
​
I'm Katie, a canine professional and animal lover
​
My animal career began in a farming environment and for over a decade I've worked with a multitude of animals. Ranging from farm livestock, poultry, mammals, reptiles and amphibians, avian species, equine species, carnivores and household domestic pets to just name a few.
I am also qualified in teaching in the Land Based Industries and have taught a range of animal qualifications both practical and theory based from students between secondary school to degree level.
Over the last seven years, I chose to focus my career directly into the canine field. Predominantly working in kennels and doggy day care, specialising in overseas rescue street dogs, rehabilitating rescue dogs, rehoming and behaviour.
I'm also CPD certified in Level 3 Grooming.
​


My partner Chris helps out when he's not working, and is a big dog lover too. Infact all our visting dogs are always super excited to see him that they forget about me!
In early 2023 we welcomed our first child. He adores our dogs and client dogs, in fact his first smile was at the dogs!
We have two wonderful rescues. Nancy, a collie cross rescued from a puppy farm police raid in Ireland, and our little Pippa, another romanian mongrel (with strong corgi & chihuahua traits) who was found abandoned in the wilderness at just a few weeks old.
​
We also have a resident household cat, called Bumblebee. But he goes by Sir Bee, as he (like all cats) is the royalty of the household.

Pawfect Day was created for our dog Arthur, who heartbreakingly passed away in October 2024.
Arthur was born and lived on the streets of Romania as a puppy/young dog. He was taken from the streets by dog catchers and taken to a terrifying kill shelter, where he would be 'disposed' of.
But thankfully with little time to spare, he was rescued and travelled to England in 2017, where we adopted him a few months later.
Arthur was the most incredible boy who faced a variety of challenges in life, but found it in his heart to trust that we would keep him safe. I built my business, (if you notice, he's actually the face of our logo!) so I could always be with Arthur, as he had never known anything other than coming to work with me every day. And due to his anxieties and trauma, It was my priority to make sure he could continue to live a life of happiness and safety. He was naughty, hilarious, loud, a hooligan, cheeky, (sometimes scary to strangers!) but most importantly incredibly loyal and so so loving. He was our sons protector and my best friend.
So we continue Pawfect Day in his name.
