Safety, trust & environment

I usually do not care for pets in my home. I believe that by staying in your home and keeping pets in their usual routines, they thrive the best.

Information Kat O. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet is elderly, needs any medication, or special needs. Also let me know if you need puppy/kitten care! Happy to help accommodate your family’s needs.

A typical day

I usually do lots of walks with dogs I housesit! I also can take them to the dog park if you like. If you are comfortable I can take them in my car to a hiking trail. We make sure to get lots of enrichment outside the house as well as at home! I love giving the dogs or cats I watch lots of playtime and food enrichment as well as cuddles. Some of the dogs I watch get ice cubes, snuffle boards, bones, and puzzle toys. Playing fetch is always a must if any of your pets will participate!! Feather toys and lasers are my go-to for kitties along with plenty of pets and cuddles.

Pets

High-quality pet care is my passion

Pet care experience

I worked at the Albuquerque BioPark zoo for 5 years taking care of many types of animals. My time there has made me passionate about providing the highest quality animal care and enrichment. I make it my goal to give your pets a stay-cation while you vacation or work! I have worked with dogs and cats of all ages, and also small animals, birds, and barn animals. I am especially good with elder pets and am familiar with their mobility and medication requirements.

Kat was the best Housesitter! She took excellent care of my senior golden retriever Gus. She provided regular updates and photos which was very much appreciated. I came home to a happy boy and I knew Kat gave him lots of love and attention. I highly recommend Kat for your housesitting needs.

We were very happy to have Kat back to watch our dog and cat. We got lots of cute pictures while we were away and little updates every day. We returned to happy pets and a clean house. We highly recommend Kat.

Winston loves Kat! He’s always happy to see her, and he has a great time playing and cuddling with her. I feel completely comfortable leaving W with Kat. I appreciate that she communicates quickly whenever there’s a question. She’s the best sitter I’ve had in years!👍

Another perfect pet sit! It’s so nice knowing Kat is taking care of my Winston. He loves her and she is great with him. I appreciate that she takes time to play games with him as well as give him lots of cuddles.
