Meet Cath

cath munns

Growing up on a farm with ducks, cats, horses and dogs gave me a passion for animals from an early age. I knew that I always had to have animals in my life. What better way to start and end the day than with a cuddle from a furry friend.

Over the last 20 years I have had the privilege of looking after friends and families pets as a passion project. In 2022 I decided to officially launch Paws Chores and Snores

It is now my full-time passion and love, with so many pets joining the Paws Chores and Snores family.

For your reassurance I have full liability insurance and fully DBS checked, I am also a non-smoker and I do not drink alcohol.

Dog Owner Reviews

Cath has been a gift from the heavens when I needed her services last minute and for an immeasurable amount of time.

She stepped in at a very desperate time and looked after my 3 dogs with absolute ease. She provided my pups with great house sitting services, including dog walks and would send me regular updates, including video calls (even though I didn’t request or demand them) She left my home in perfect condition and I truly believe that the dogs didn’t even miss me. In fact I think they all like her more than me now

I still use her services for dog walks and the little pups are so excited to see her every-time. Cath brings the right energy for pups as well as catering to all their individual needs. You can absolutely trust her with your pups and your home.

She’s helped me in so many ways that I would like to say a beautiful friendship is forming as a result. If you want a professional service from Paws, Chores & Snores, look no further. If you want the best, go to the best!

dog walker review

Cat house sat our GSD girl for a week recently. I couldn’t be happier. She regularly sent me pics and updates which was lovely as Tess is a typical shepherd and quite nervy. Tess had a wonderful time, was walked and played with regularly and Cat is very knowledgeable about all breeds and is one of these wonderful ‘just gets on with it’ people – nothing phases her. We’re so happy to have now found someone reliable and close by if we choose to have a Day in London or something. We were very restricted prior to finding Cat so for us, she is a complete blessing! Thank you Cat – from us and Tess.

I knew I had to leave a wonderful review for cat but a part of me didn’t want to incase someone steals her away… Cat has been working for me for 6 years, she is just fabulous, reliable, honest and so efficient, her positive can do attitude gives me a boost every time I see her! Trustworthy 100% I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone (but please don’t steal her)
