Veteran and dog caretaker🐾
Hi, I'm Kat. A USAF Veteran, prior LMT, creative and dog walker/sitter living in Tucson I have extensive experience taking care of homes and pets, including horses, chickens and rabbits. I have a strong passion for animals, nature and wildlife. Whether you need someone to drop in for 30/45 minutes to visit & exercise your pup or you’re going away on vacation & need a house/pet sitter or prefer to board at my place, I am available on short notice, I'm reliable, communicative and pay attention to detail. I have medication dispensing experience. Worked with elder dogs and new pups. **Holiday rates and puppy care rates apply I’d love to chat, please feel free to contact me and ask me any questions you may have! Thank you for your time - keep waggin’!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Kat was the ideal sitter for us, and we feel lucky we found her. Her calm peaceful demeanor was such a blessing for our anxious rescue, Dash. He quickly warmed up to her, which almost never happens, and she even let Dash sleep with her. She handled his medications as needed and communicated with us throughout the stay, sending many charming photos. She was so patient and responsive with my many instructions! Kat even left our home sparkly clean. We just hope she is available any time we need a sitter in the future!
Kat took good care of Ellie and our home. She sent us pictures and communicated well while we were away.
Kat was so wonderful with my sweet Sophie. I appreciated her giving me updates and making my Sophie feel right at home. I’d highly recommend Kat for anyone looking for someone kind to watch their doggie.
Kat took amazing care of our pup while we were away! She went above and beyond to keep her happy and relaxed—giving her massages, making sure she got plenty of exercise, and even playing calming music to help her feel at ease. It was clear our dog was in loving, attentive hands the whole time. We came home to a relaxed and happy pup. Highly recommend Kat for anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable sitter!
It is a pleasure working with Kat! She ask great questions! She is very engaged and helpful! She is really contributing to Mulder’s training! Thanks Lady!
Kat provides exceptional services and I feel blessed to have found her. Her assistance in helping me care for a family members dog was invaluable. Reliable and professional, she demonstrates genuine attention and care to all that she does. Dog Ruth adores her and if I am ever in need of dog walking services again, she will be the one I turn to!!

Schedule
I currently work from home about 8 hours of the day as a call center customer support representative. Right now, boarding fits my schedule best.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I like to model the routines and habits your pet keeps at home - feeding and potty times stay the same, frequent walks, allowed on furniture or not depending on your rules at home - you can count on lots of 1 on 1 attention for your pup when they are in my care - pets, snacks, and company. When boarding or in your home, your animals will hardly be left alone unless I have prior appointments during your scheduled visit. If that's the case the animals are never alone for longer than 4-6 hours and I make sure they are pottied and fed beforehand. I also provided additional house care services like collecting mail, taking out trash and recycling, dog poop removal, and I like to keep the house cleaner than when I arrive before I leave.
A typical day
Like a mini play date visit with your pet while you’re away for work or vacation. Depending on your pets needs, we make sure your dog is exercised and goes potty each day, keeping company, providing meals if requested, treats & belly rubs. Drop in care and overnight sitting is usually provided in the home and backyard of your pet. If walks are requested, we do a 30 minute walk around the pet’s neighborhood. Pets are never taken off their home premises for care unless in case of a medical emergency.
