Additionally, I travel anywhere in the Bay Area for multi-night bookings, so feel free to reach out even if your location appears to be a bit far from me! *Single-night bookings, drop-ins, and dog walking are typically limited to the North Bay Area, but feel free to reach out as I may be available to accommodate.

Pet care experience
Hi friends! I specialize in pets with with special needs or other notable requirements, but I love sitting all types! I have loved pet sitting with my family for my entire life, and have done so independently since middle school. The extraordinary quality of my care is distinguished by my commitment to developing a real relationship with and love for your pet(s). Making your furry friends feel comfortable is my #1 priority, because I know that's what keeps YOU at peace too! I have *direct experience* independently caring for pets of all sizes, ages, and levels of need, including (but not limited to): - Seniors who need a little extra help getting around - Pets who suffer from seizures - Diabetic pets who need insulin injections and attentive glucose monitoring - Puppies who aren’t quite potty trained yet - Pets who experience separation anxiety when away from their owners - Clever pets who find creative ways to avoid taking their oral meds These situations do not deter me and won’t get in the way of effectively caring for your baby! My sweet Shih Tzu, Muppy, passed away in 2024 after a long and happy life, so I am turning here to give my love for animals a new place to go. I have lots of it to give <3

Reviews
Kat was wonderful! We were able to travel and enjoy ourselves knowing our sweet Nigel was in great care. Kat was quick to respond, sent daily photos & synopsis of their day, and she was very organized. She also took care of our daughter's prized strawberry & blueberry bushes. I would recommend Kat to my close family and friends.
This was Kat's first time sitting for our kitten Peanut, and she exceeded our expectations across the board. Communication was excellent — she shared regular updates and sent us genuinely fun photos that we loved getting throughout the trip. When we hit an unexpected schedule change, Kat was completely accommodating and made it a non-issue. The house was just as clean as we left it. She followed everything we asked, from the litter box routine to stripping the bed before we got back. Most importantly, Peanut was visibly happy and well-adjusted when we returned — you can always tell when a sitter has actually engaged with your pet, and she clearly had. Peanut was so comfortable with Kat that we were able to fully relax and enjoy our vacation. We will absolutely have her sit for Peanut again. Highly recommend.
Kat was such an amazing dog sitter to our senior dog Maui. She also took incredible care of our home leaving it clean and in perfect condition. She was super responsive to all communication and gave us updates during our time away. Our dog, who is typically very shy and skittish, loved Kat and felt very comfortable with her. Our dog went on walks and left the house which she typically never does with anyone but us. We plan on using Kat again soon and would highly recommend her!
Kat was fantastic! I felt really good about leaving our previous kitty with her. Thank you again. I would highly recommend Kat to anyone.
