Private Casita for Your Pet!

Pet care experience

The Casita is a guest home in my half-acre backyard with a living room and bedroom separated by a door. I work from home most of the time (only half days when I go in-office), so I can give your pet as much or as little attention as will make them comfortable. Both rooms of the Casita have large windows for your pet to see out. I put out birdseed daily, so your pet may find it enriching to watch the wildlife. The Casita has a cat tree, cat beds, cat toys, and a litter box (changed daily). I can also setup a TV to keep your pet comfortable. It also has its own heating and air, so I can ensure your pet is at a comfortable climate. Of course, you are more than welcome to bring your own amenities, as there is plenty of room for them! Unfortunately, I cannot board dogs at the moment, but any other pet is welcome! I have 2 indoor cats, assist with TNRing strays, and 4 ducks (which are why I can't host dogs). I grew up with cats, dogs, parakeets, ducks, and fish. I also have some experience with lizards, bunnies, and hamsters, and I am not afraid of snakes. If your pet isn't a cat, you will need to bring all pet supplies needed for their stay, including cage/terrarium, heat lamps, etc. If you have any questions, please reach out!

Kat was such a wonderful host for taking care of my baby! Her guest house was so spacious and warm and she was so easy to communicate with. I felt so much comfort leaving my sweet Ruby in her care for a week especially over the Holiday. I will definitely be booking again in the future! Thank you again!!

Ms. Kat was AMAZING! Our handsome boy was well taken care and loved on during his stay. We received updates everyday which was awesome. Definitely will rebook and recommend.

Kat is a compassionate caregiver and great communicator. I trust her completely with my pets! No one will love your cats more than she will.

Safety, trust & environment

Pets in my care will get fresh food, water, and litter box (or cage/terrarium) cleaned daily. We will discuss your pet's needs, including how much attention I should give them (as some find new environments or handling stressful, whereas some love attention). You will supply your pet's food and any other items they need for their stay (including if they have a specific brand of litter they need). Your pet's health and safety are my highest priorities!

Information Kat Z. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. I know that some pets enjoy a lot of attention, even from strangers while others do not want any attention at all.

A typical day

I wake up early in the mornings and will spend a lot of time with your pet before I start working from home. Every morning I feed the wild birds on a platform outside of one of the big windows of the Casita, so your pets can enjoy that enrichment, and I can put a screen in the room for background noise or shows for your pet's comfort. I will be able to take several breaks during the work day to check in on your pet, and in the evenings I'll give them extra attention.

I work from home and typically get an early start to the day (around 6am). My schedule is pretty flexible, so I can always pop in and out of the Casita, even on busy days. I always let my ducks out of their coop in the mornings, put them up before dark, and check on them throughout the day, so checking on your pet is just a positive for me
