Leading with Care. Guided by Professional Understanding.
KTM Pets is designed for owners who prioritise behavioural wellbeing, routine consistency, and professional standards in their pet’s care.
I’m Keishia, founder of KTM Pets. I provide structured, professional pet care with a strong focus on mental enrichment, emotional wellbeing, and consistent routines. Every booking is tailored to the individual needs of the pet in my care.
With over six years of hands-on experience and nearly three years running KTM Pets full-time, I’ve supported more than 70 clients and cared for over a hundred animals across Ilkeston, Kimberley, West Hallam and surrounding areas.
My work considers temperament, behavioural needs, energy levels, and environment. Mental enrichment sits at the centre of my approach, supporting confidence, calm behaviour, and a sense of security through thoughtful, intentional engagement.
My background includes a Level 3 Diploma in Animal Management and Science and a Level 4 qualification in Canine Behaviour. I am also currently studying Animal Psychology and Animal Nutrition and Diet, ensuring my care remains evidence-led and grounded in best practice.
Care at KTM Pets is never rushed or generic. I work with pets across a range of emotional states, including those experiencing stress or changes in routine. Through calm handling, behavioural awareness, and consistent structure, I support pets in settling, decompressing, and feeling safe.
Entrusting someone with your pet requires confidence and trust. I approach that responsibility with care, professionalism, and a commitment to building long-term relationships with both pets and their owners.

We needed someone to check in on our cat, Nezuko, whilst we were on a short break. We didn't want to put her in a cattery, like we tried last year. She hated it, and we hated it even more! So, we wanted to keep her in the comfort of her own home. Keishia was recommended to us, and we cannot recommend her enough! She was phenomenal with Nezu, and her passion for animals is wonderful. She went above and beyond to make our little angel happy. Not only that, but she kept us updated during her visits, with pictures and videos! This helped to give us peace of mind so we could chill a bit more! When we got home, Nezu was relaxed and happy. Thank you Keishia! ❤️

"Keishia was so unbelievably amazing taking care of our kitten & cat over Christmas, so glad we found her at the last minute. Our usually very grumpy bsh was seen playing and cuddling and we received videos and updates to prove it! Thank you Keishia for making Christmas special for them and keeping us completely in the loop the entire time- the process was seamless and so easy & she is so easy to talk to.Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a pet sitter in the area."

After being let down by the Dog Sitter less than two weeks before I was due to go away, I cannot praise KTM more for not only covering the full weeks care on short notice, but providing a level of care and attention for my dog that he not only needs but is used to so knowing he was being so well looked after allowed me to relax on holiday. I asked for regular updates & Keishia did not disappoint! I had daily photos & videos of him looking like he was having the time of his life! So after a week away I came home to a very happy dog & a nice clean & tidy house. I will now use KTM every time!
