ANIMAL LOVER seeks furry friends

Pet care experience

Greetings! I am an experienced and loving (former) dog and cat parent and I truly enjoy spending time with animals. There is nothing like the bond between a furbaby and their human(s)! I understand how important our pets are to us and how crucial it is to have a devoted, trustworthy, and responsible sitter when we can't be with them ourselves. I have had various critters under my care including dogs, cats, chickens, reptiles, gerbils, rabbits, a horse, and goats to name some.... oh, and humans, too. I've managed to raise two kids to adulthood and am often caring for my two gbabies in Phoenix. I'm experienced in providing specialized animal care as well. Some of my own pets and others I've cared for have had injuries or illnesses I nursed them through, some have had specific dietary needs, and my own beloved Phoenix the Gingerdog had chronic health issues which required a very specialized exercise and diet plan. At least until I'm ready to get a successor service dog of my own, I'm traveling and relishing my time with other peoples' wonderful and adorable pets! I've done a lot of house and pet sitting in Southern California and Phoenix as well as in Florida and the midwest. I was previously on Rover and I currently offer my house and pet care and sitting services on social media groups as well as other platforms. I have been cleared by recent background checks as well as having U.S. federal security clearance for many years. I'd love to have the opportunity to care for your furbaby(ies) and other critters too! I am a proud Mom and Gma, activist, advocate, student, and TBI survivor. I am a true animal lover and have a special connection to animals and nature in general. Some of my favorite outdoor activities are beach walks and scenic hikes and I love having a canine companion on my adventures. When indoors, I enjoy movies and music, cooking and eating, reading a good book, and snuggling with furry critters. I believe in the power of the purr, and of love, and enjoy caring for fur babies in need of some TLC while their humans are away.

Knowledgeable, kind, gentle, relaxed with great flexibility. Kat provided excellent care and updates for our 6 cat household. Even with specific instructions and unique routines she managed a peaceful environment.

I care for pets in your home, or occasionally elsewhere. I also provide daily or twice-daily stop-by and walking services for pets that don't need someone to stay with them.

Information Kat B. would like to know about your pet

Please tell me about your fur baby's temperament, favorite things, allergies, food preferences, schedule, etc, as well as any special instructions. Please also let me know how your pet is with other pets, neighborhood cats, wildlife, children, etc. Does your pet have any specific fears, are they an escape artist, are there any medical needs?

A typical day

We can walk around the neighborhood, a park, maybe make some beach or hiking trips if appropriate or requested. I love to snuggle and play with fur babies and will feed and care for them according to their humans' instructions.

I work very part-time, on my own time, and attend online classes some afternoons as well as occasional medical appointments for my TBI rehabilitation. I regularly travel between San Diego and Phoenix and spend a lot of time at home (yours or mine), so have the time and freedom to care for your beloved pets. Having a walking companion is ideal for me, as walking, hiking, and other exercise are good for my rehabilitation but I'm less likely to do it alone. Phoenix area house sits allow me to spend even more time with my gbabies, SoCal sits are close to home, and I may also look for sits near other family members and vacation destinations from time to time.
