For Pets Who Prefer to Stay Put
Going away is supposed to feel exciting. For pet owners, it often just feels complicated. You've already thought about it. Who's going to feed them? Whether they'll be stressed. Whether a cattery or kennel is really the right answer for a pet who's never left home before.
KTM Pets exists for exactly this situation, whether you're in Ilkeston, West Hallam, or one of the surrounding villages. Your pet stays in their own home, in their own routine, with someone who genuinely gets to know them before you even leave. No kennels or catteries and no unfamiliar spaces. Just consistent, personalised care in the place your pet feels safest.
I stay on the premises overnight for the full duration of your booking so your pet is never alone through the night. Every sit starts before you leave. I take the time to properly understand your pet, their routine, their quirks and what makes them feel safe, so by the time you head off I already know them well enough to make them feel comfortable from the moment I walk in.
You'll hear from me every single day with photos, videos and a proper update at midday and in the evening, so you're never sitting miles away wondering how they're doing. When you get home, your pet will be exactly as you left them. Settled, happy and in their own space, because that's where they never stopped being.
In-Home Pet Sitting
Extended Pet Sitting
For pets who need more continuous presence. If your pet has separation anxiety, a complex medication schedule or simply struggles when left alone, this is the right option. During an extended sit I leave for no more than two hours at any point and only when agreed with you in advance. This service also covers bookings that run beyond a standard overnight window. Availability is extremely limited so booking well in advance is essential.

"Keishia recently looked after our three Spanish Water Dogs for a weekend, house sitting with them. We were very impressed with her overall professional conduct, pleasant and courteous manner, punctuality and exceptional communication.
We have already booked Keishia again for three weeks and would not hesitate in highly recommending her first class service."

"As my cat is of a Ragdoll breed, she is very nervous and requires a lot of company. Keishia house sat and looked after her for two weeks. She was absolutely perfect and I couldn’t imagine anyone better. She was very loving and caring, and provided very regular updates, including photos and videos. This is the first time I have used a house/cat sitter but I felt very comfortable leaving my cat in Keishia’s very capable and loving hands. My cat takes time to build trust with others but it was clear that she was able to do this relatively quickly with Keishia. I could tell from the videos how they both grew to adore each other. I would highly recommend Keishia and hope to be able to use her again."

What a wonderful human!
This booking was my first time using Rover/having a stranger look after my boys so naturally I was very nervous and anxious! Keishia was so wonderful at setting my worries at ease, quickly organised a meet and greet so we could get to know each other and see how the dogs felt around her. They were instantly besotted. During the booking, I got regular updates in photos and videos, and reassured me that when she left everything was locked up as instructed! I would give 6 stars if I could. So glad to have found her! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
