Highlights
Pet care experience
dependable & knowledged pet sitter
Hi all! A little about me and my experience- My name is Kat and I am currently finishing my thesis in grad school and work part time as a server/bartender. My fiancé, Mat, works nights during the week and I tend to work most weekends. Together, we make sure any animals in our home are cared for as there is almost always someone at home. (On top of that, we have a roommate who is often home.) When it comes to our pets, they are a part of our family. We love them and know that it’s hard to be away from them. When I’m taking care of someone else’s animal, I want them to feel happy and comfortable in the home because I know it’s already hard enough on them being away from you- the pet parent. Each pet has their own needs. Puppies need constant attention until they zonk out then they are back at it again later. Older dogs might just want some love and attention, to be fed, and then to be left alone for the night. In my experience, each pet owner also has their own needs. Some have wanted daily pictures and videos. Some just like an update here and there. My experience has taught me that the best way to see if you can match those needs is by making that initial contact and talking everything over and ideally having a meet and greet beforehand. I started doing this as an ungraduated college student and continue today because it's something that I can do with my job and something that I love. Please reach out with any questions!

Ratings and reviews
Kat was amazing! Booked for a last minute vaca and she responded very fast! I was nervous because this Titus's first time away from us but he came back so happy! Response time was so quick and sent photos everyday!
Kat is fantastic. She did a wonderful job taking care of our dog. I would highly recommend.
I don’t know how she is a star sitter. Book her at your own risk.
Thanks! I appreciate Kat's flexibility. My pup seemed happy and loved during her stay.
Kat did a wonderful job with Benny! I came home to one happy pup :)
Kat was wonderful and took great care of Charlie! Kat was very responsive and gave daily updates. We would love to use Kat again to watch our girl!

Schedule
I am currently finishing my thesis in grad school and work part time as a server/bartender. My fiancé, Mat, works nights during the week and I tend to work most weekends. Together, we make sure any animals in our home are cared for as there is almost always someone at home. (On top of that, we have a roommate who is often home.) I try to schedule meet and greets when both Mat and myself are available. This ensures you can meet us both and feel assured whenever either of us are home for pick ups and drop offs.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a fenced in backyard and so the dogs have the run of that area. If it's rainy, we try to keep their potty breaks short so to prevent the muddy paws we all know and love. We have a Aussie who is about a year and a half who will happily play with any energetic pups that come visit and sometimes because of this, they roll around in the yard and get dusty-dirty. If you would prefer me to limit that outside play, I am happy to do so. I also do my best to bath any pup that gets dirty from play, weather, accidents, and will typically talk to you about how they do with those upon the meet and greet! I want your pup to be happy and healthy when you pick them up but I also want to respect whatever your needs as the owner are!
Pets
A typical day
Go for walks around the block or dog parks. I have plenty of toys from my own dog who is more than willing to play and share.
