Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pet’s new favorite spare human
I'm a life-long dog owner and have had cats much of my life. Years of volunteering at animal shelters has given me real, hands-on confidence with all kinds of animals and temperaments, from reactive or nervous/anxious ones who need a calm, patient hand, to high-energy working breeds. I have advanced training for working with dogs with behavior challenges, training protocols, dog and cat body language, and I am currently in the process of getting certified in pet first aid and CPR. I'm comfortable administering medication, managing mobility limitations, special needs, and the kind of quirks that make pet parents nervous to leave instructions for a new sitter. I’m also experienced in reinforcement-based training as well as walking/training tools (halti, prong, e-collar). No matter the animal (even birds, fish or others), the basics stay the same: sticking to their routine, and sending updates and check-ins so you're never wondering how things are going. Your pet is in calm, capable hands.

Safety, trust & environment
For walks and drop-ins, I keep things low-key: familiar environment, familiar routine, minimal disruption to their day. For house sitting, I stay in your home and keep your pet's routine exactly as you left it. I treat your space with the same care I'd want someone to treat mine. Got a weird routine, like needing to fake a 5-star meal, or finding the perfect blade of grass for a potty break? Tell me about it, I'll make it happen.
Ratings and reviews
Kal took great care of my cats while I was away! She was communicative with updates and also super patient with my giving my kitty her eye drops. Would definitely book again!
Kal was amazing!!! She had great communication from the second I requested her for a visit. I will definitely be using her again!
So lovely, amazing communication, really understands our cat personalities! I could tell she gave them genuine attention and care
Kal was great! She came by twice to watch my cat, Sunny. Kal was punctual, followed instructions perfectly, and sent me great pictures so I knew my boy was in good hands. Would definitely recommend.
She’s the best!
Kal was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of our cat during drop-in visits and kept us updated. What stood out was how thoughtful and attentive she was when there was an unexpected power outage and fire alarm in the building. She noticed the alert in the neighborhood, went out of her way to drive back and checked on our cat to send us an update and photos to reassure us that she was ok. It gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was out of the city. Kal was incredibly reliable, communicative and genuinely caring. We would absolutely book with Kal again and highly recommend her!

Schedule
I am available for morning and evening walks or drop-ins, with a flexible weekend. I’m also available for house sitting. Have needs outside of this? Let’s talk! If the travel distance exceeds my daily service range, additional fees may apply.

- I'd love to know about your pet's routine, quirks, and any specific needs. For dogs, it helps to know their leash behavior and how they do around other animals and strangers. For cats, it helps to know their hiding spots, litter preferences, and whether they're more food-motivated or affection-driven. The more I know going in, the better I can care for your pet the way you would.
