Pet Care You Can Count On!

Hi there! I’ve worked with dogs for years and truly love getting to know each one’s personality, routine, and needs. What sets me apart from other sitters is the hands-on experience I gained at Healthy Spot LLC in Santa Monica, where I worked as a certified dog bather. There, I learned far more than just grooming—I became well-versed in canine body language, health monitoring, and how to handle dogs with all kinds of temperaments, including nervous or high-energy pups. I bring that same knowledge and patience to every walk, drop-in, or overnight stay. I’m calm, attentive, and always focused on making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether your pup needs a slow, relaxed walk or a high-energy play session, I adjust to their vibe and make sure they’re getting exactly what they need. I’m reliable, communicative, and treat every pet like they’re part of my own little pack.

Safety, trust & environment

I always aim to create a safe, calm, and comfortable environment—whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their established routines, from feeding and walk schedules to playtime and any special instructions. I keep things clean, respectful, and quiet to help pets feel secure while their owners are away. In my own space, I make sure it’s pet-friendly, free of hazards, and stocked with essentials like clean water, cozy resting areas, and plenty of enrichment. No matter the setting, I give pets my full attention, read their body language closely, and adjust to whatever helps them feel happiest and most at ease.

Kat was absolutely wonderful and took excellent care of our two cats while we were away. She followed all of our instructions carefully, kept the litter boxes clean, washed their food bowls, and even cleaned up any messes our cats made during her visits. She also brought in a package that arrived late and helped keep our home tidy, which gave us great peace of mind while traveling. One thing we especially appreciated was her communication. She sent detailed updates after each visit along with great photos, which made being away from our boys much easier. It was clear from the updates and pictures that our cats were comfortable, happy, and well cared for. We came home to two content cats and a well-maintained home. We would gladly book Kat again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter!!!

Kat was absolutely amazing with our 3 kitties! She sent lots of photos and provided extremely detailed notes at every visit. I felt so comfortable knowing Kat would be coming over twice a day to take care of them. She gave medicine to one of our cats as well. We can't wait to have her catsit again!

Kat was amazing. She had open communication with us and would provide us with AMAZING Rover reports. Its like we were there. Padme has separation anxiety and she took the time and gave her time space to approach her without rushing. 10000000% would recommend!!!!!!!!

Kat was super communicative and went out of her way to ensure my three cats were well taken care of while I was out of town for a week. She asked detailed questions prior to accepting the job, which made me feel confident in the level of care that she would be providing.

Schedule

Pet care is something I naturally build into my daily routine. I treat it as a priority, not a side task—whether it’s early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening feedings. I structure my schedule to allow plenty of time for each visit, so I’m never rushing and can give every pet the full attention they deserve. Caring for animals genuinely brings me joy, so making time for them throughout the week feels less like work and more like a rewarding part of my day.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs

Kat can host up to 12 drop-ins per day
It’s really important to me that clients share anything unique about their pet’s behavior, triggers, health needs, or routine—especially things like reactivity, medication schedules, feeding preferences, or quirks that help them feel safe and comfortable. Even small details, like if they get anxious around certain sounds or prefer a specific walking route, help me give them the best possible care. The more I know, the better I can tailor my approach and make sure your pet feels at ease while you’re away.
