Availability
I'm mostly retired so my schedule is very flexible. I do have drop in visits scheduled on most days, so I will need to be gone long enough to cover those. I'm usually in your home for 16-20 hours a day. I may be able to arrange to be there 24/7 for an additional fee.

About Kat A.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I believe pets are happiest and safest in their home environments following their usual routines. I like to see the environment you provide for your pet so I can do my best to follow your pets needs.
Information Kat A. would like to know about your pet
I am open to sitting with any breed; however, I do have reservations about being with the rare pet that demonstrates unwarrented or unpredictable aggression. My questions would include the following: Does the dog have any medical or behavioral challenges that will need to be managed? What type of activties is he/she used to and what is her/his normal day like? What does your dog do for fun or entertainment? What commands does your dog respond to and how do I get her/him to "come"? How does your dog react to thunder, strangers and other animals that we might encounter on a walk? What foods/treats are allowed or not allowed? Who is your dog's veterinarian & where are they located? If, due to an emergency such as fire or tornado, evacuation of your home should become necessary, where would you like your dog to stay? What have I not asked that you would like to tell me about your pet?
A typical day
Time I'll spend with your dog I enjoy playing games, such as fetch or "hide and seek" with dogs and interactive games with cats. I take an active interest in the health, happiness and well-being of your special friend. Tell me what your pet likes to do and what his/her normal routine is. My goal is for your pet to be as content as possible during your time away from home. I am not offering walks at this time, other than brief excursions for bodily needs. Extra house-sitting services Yes, I will do a variety of tasks that would be included in the quoted price including: bring in mail, inside plant care, etc. There are additional fees for more than one pet, which can be negotiated at the time of booking. Horses, goats, donkeys, alpaca, llama, chickens, rabbits, birds, fish, pocket or exotic pets: fees will depend on species and number of animals. Additional responsibilities can be negotiated for additional fees.

Pet care experience
Looking for a caring, reliable, knowledgeable sitter? I'm a former vet tech, and animals, and their care, have always been a part of who I am. I have worked as a certified veterinary technician in a mixed animal practice (5 years) and have gone through a Red Cross Pet CPR course. I am currently retired and thoroughly enjoying pet-sitting adventures through Rover.com. [NOTE: I enjoy playing fetch and providing enrichment activities; however, I provide only short and slow walks.] My own pets over the years have included dogs, cats, fresh-water fish, horses, a donkey, and a parrot. Let's meet to see if I am the right choice for your pets! Why I love pet sitting As the daughter of a veterinarian, a former veterinary technician, and a life-long animal lover; I have a wide range of knowledge and experience. I truly enjoy being with and caring for all types of animals; large and small, furred, feathered or finned, and would like the opportunity of finding out more of what you are looking for in a sitter for your special four-legged family member(s). I like pretty much like anything with four legs and a tail, so I cannot call myself either a "dog person" or a "cat person" as I value both types of attitudes, behaviors and personalities. I have an affinity for not only dogs and cats, but also other types of animals; including rabbits, birds, some reptiles, some pocket pets, horses and other equines, llamas, alpacas, goats, and hens. My experience administering medication Yes, with my background in animal care I am more than willing and able to take care of pets with special needs or which require medication. I am also willing to utilize acupressure or massage techniques per your instructions. I am currently retired, so my schedule is generally very flexible. I am available most weekends and holidays, unless already scheduled for a stay. I can be available for stop by visits as early at 8:00 am and as late as 11:00 pm. I prefer to care for pets in the comfort and security of their own home where their normal routine can be maintained. A pets comfort and well being are, of course, the first priority.

Reviews
Kat is the best, always a relief when I'm able to get her to watchy two pups!
Kat is fantastic! She takes wonderful care of our 2 fur babies and they love her.
I recently had the pleasure of using Kat as a dog sitter for my beloved pups, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From our initial meeting, it was clear that she genuinely loves dogs and understands their needs. I received daily updates and photos, which put my mind at ease. Charlie and Daisy had a wonderful time, and I could tell they were treated with lots of love and attention. It's evident that Kat is reliable and responsible, which is so important when entrusting someone with your furry family member. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter. I will definitely be using Kat again in the future!
This is the second time we have used Kat and we cannot recommend her enough! She took fantastic care of our dogs and house while we were gone. Thank you Kat!
