About: Hi! I'm Kay, a proud Army veteran and lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for a wide variety of pets. I have personally cared for dogs, cats, birds, ferrets, hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs and fish. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I have experience with senior cats and dogs as well as experience with medication administration. I used to have three Siberian huskies, and am comfortable with active, large dogs as well as small dogs. Whether you need a quick visit, daily walk, boarding, or part-time house sitting, I offer reliable, compassionate service tailored to your pet's unique needs. I'm also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident your furry family members are safe, comfortable, and loved. I am available during the weekdays and most weekends to maximize time spent with your loved ones. For doggy daycare, I will be onsite most of the day, leaving for errands (when required) no more than 30 min at a time. I can ensure multiple potty breaks during the day, offer playtime, and walks for exercise. For house sitting I can guarantee large chunks of time (up to 2 hours) during a visit, up to four times a day including a late night check-in (as late as 10pm) and early morning check-in (as early as 6am) but typically do not stay full time or overnight. Willing to discount house sitting pricing for multiple animals in the home. For boarding I will be onsite most of the day, but could be gone up to four hours at a time on occasion. I have a friendly, active, Labrador to keep your pet company. There are also two caged ferrets in the home that are kept separate from all boarded animals. Even though we do not have a fenced yard, I can guarantee at least two walks a day and multiple play times to help burn energy. We have baby gates in the house to help keep your pet safe and secure. I also have a safe space for cat boarding and other pets that need to be keep separate.

“Teresa was fantastic with my Chloe, Stella and Hemsworth. She cared wonderfully for them during my recent 3 day trip. He took the time to meet and greet my pups the day before and to get the details of there care. I received very prompt updates on her visits. She provided me with photos and videos from each visit. I could not have ask for better care from anyone. It get me a lot comfort knowing they were in good hands. She is my now my go to sitter for future trips. My pack already missed her and can’t wait for my next trip.”


“Jeanette was fantastic when taking care of our cat! She administered insulin to our cat easily, and made sure to take the time to love on her afterwards. We’d be happy to have her care for our cat again!”


“Leila was fantastic with Luna and Boots over the weekend! She sent regular updates and pictures, which really put my mind at ease. It's clear she genuinely cares about animals and went above and beyond to make sure Luna and Boots were happy and comfortable. I'm definitely booking Leila again for future pet-sitting needs!”


“She was great with a drop in for my puppy! Took her out to potty a bunch of times, fed her, let her play and get out some energy. Very on time and sent a ton of pictures to keep you updated!”

“If I were seeking a pet sitter, I would be looking for a few "must-have" qualities. Dependability, Dedication, Experience, Patience and Caring. As a retired Military Officer, Mother, and long-time Pet Owner, Katherine has all these qualities and so much more.

I would not hesitate to enlist her services to care for my cherished pet.”

Kristin is the best pet sitter I can ask for! 😍 My cat Graphene just adores her. She even cleaned up the mess for me. I would definitely ask her to sit my cats again!

I cannot express enough gratitude for the care provided by Nazira, our wonderful cat sitter. From the very first day, Nazira treated Grendel with warmth and careful attention, ensuring he felt safe and cherished.

Nazira's remarkable consideration shines in how she kept me updated with regular photos and thoughtful messages. Every update reassured me that Grendel was thriving in an environment of care and affection. She balanced playtime with peaceful moments of rest, treating Grendel not just as a pet but as her cherished friend. I wholeheartedly recommend Nazira to anyone needing a compassionate, reliable, thoughtful cat sitter. With Nazira, you can have complete peace of mind knowing that your furry friend receives the best care.
