Highlights
Pet care experience
Trained & Experienced Foster!
Hi! I'm a trained pet foster experienced with dogs and cats (with specialized training for cats) My specialized cat training includes socialization, weight loss exercise, kitten care, and administering medicine orally & through an inhaler. I have trained 3 dogs in my life whom all had specialized needs (a standard goldendoodle, a disabled mixed breed, and a portugese water dog). I've also looked after the dogs of family and friends throughout my life! I also have experience with small animals :)
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Kat was great. She's clearly comfortable with dogs and took Grace's quirks in stride. Grace is a shelter pup still building trust, and Kat won her over completely by the end of the stay. The house was in good shape when I got home. Gracie would be thrilled to have her over again.
So grateful to have found Kat — a trusted house sitter is SO hard to find! They communicated daily, sent photos, ensured medications were given on schedule, brought our dog on adventures to the park, and left our home clean to return to. They even went above and beyond with a few extra household needs. No notes! We already rebooked for another stay.
Kat was great! Very communicative and the dogs were happy when we got home. Thank you!
"I cannot recommend Kat enough! She watched my elderly dog for 6 days and went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and well cared for. Caring for an older dog comes with extra needs, and Kat was incredibly accommodating every step of the way. She was patient, attentive, and genuinely loving. I never worried for a second while I was away. We will absolutely be booking with her again!"
Kat has walked my dogs for over a year now and they are a very responsible and dependable person. When I go out of town Kat is always willing to watch my animals, and make sure they get plenty of love and care while I'm away. I would absolutely recommend Kat's services to anyone looking for a dog walker or pet sitter!
Kat is exactly the kind of person you want as a pet sitter! Kat’s approach is clearly grounded in reading and research on pets. Kat will quickly understand what your pet is communicating. I appreciate that Kat treats time with a dog as the dog’s time. The time is focused on the dog’s needs: play, attention, feeding. You feel good knowing that your pet is getting true quality time. You feel good that what you asked was done and that your pet was well cared for.

Schedule
I work from home as a case manager and do home visits for my clients that I schedule ahead of time- my day job does not involve days in the office or last-minute trips!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in an apartment with a dog park in the apartment complex, and am less than a mile from several dog parks! I love a good lap dog, but can also provide free time in dog parks for several hours each day!

A typical day
I am a huge fan of mental stimulation for both dogs and cats! Both of my cats know several tricks, and with enough time I'd love to leave your pet with a trick that the two of you can practice later, plus lots of time outside if they want it!
