“Kat and her family provided a loving home for Miles and Noah. Kat was very organized in her pickup/dropoff instructions which was wonderful. She was also extremely communicative in sending updates and photos regularly. Highly recommend her services!”

About: I have had pets in the house since I was a kid. Dogs, cats, hermit crabs, rats. I’m punctual and able to adhere to your rules/guidelines concerning your pet. I’m currently retired enjoying my time at home. Will work part time in the fall. We have 2 responsible adults and a teenager in our home that can take care of any needs or playtime your pet may need. I have a fenced yard and one high energy doggie that eats twice a day. Potty breaks are always available. I have 2 gentle, loving cats that enjoy being around other people and dogs.

About: I have had cats my whole life and I currently have 4 cats. All 4 are friendly lap cats and very bonded with me. They are “my boys”. I also have experience with a full size golden doodle and dog sit her when needed. I am a foster cat mom and enjoy volunteering in this role. I have a flexible job as I work out in the community. I can make stops through out the day. I do not travel much and have most weekends free. I enjoy cuddling fur babies in the evenings. I have small dog size crate and large, tall crate with levels which is great for cats. As a foster cat mom, I have plans in place to keep any animal safe and comfortable if needed. I scoop litter boxes a few times a day and work hard to keep my kitties area clean. I have a fenced yard and a cat proof screen going to my deck.

Thank you for taking such good care of our boys 💕🐾”
