Pet care experience
Premium Care Anywhere in the Bay!
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

Ratings and reviews
We had a great experience with Kat taking care of our pets and home this past weekend. This was our first time working with Kat, and we really valued her professionalism, conscientiousness, and excellent communication skills. We found her easy to coordinate/collaborate with. Upon our return, the house was in great shape and the animals were clearly happy and satisfied. We’re looking forward to working with her again.
Kat was really great at communicating with us, and was very sweet with Twinkle. We definitely appreciate her gentle and caring approach with our golden girl. Thank you, Kat!
Kat was communicative, punctual, left the house spotless, and the kitties were well cared for. We would happily book her again!
We had such a great experience with Kat! She took wonderful care of our dachshund, Bruce, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. She sent us pictures every day, which we absolutely loved, and kept us updated on how he was doing. Bruce was happy and well cared for when we got home. We’ll definitely be using Kat again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.
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.

Schedule
I work 100% remotely without a strict schedule, so I have plenty of time to spoil your pet(s) with attention! I'm flexible and happy to accommodate your every need. 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.
