Dedicated Care for Your Fur Babies!
Pet care experience
With a decade of unwavering commitment to pet care, I bring a wealth of experience to ensure your beloved fur-babies receive the best attention possible. My journey began as a lifelong cat owner, fostering a deep understanding and genuine love for our feline friends. Over the past five years, I have specialized in professional dog care, honing my skills in various breeds and temperaments. As a pet enthusiast with a keen eye for their unique needs, I am dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing environment for your furry family members. My expertise extends beyond the basics, encompassing specialized care such as administering medications, ensuring the well-being of senior pets, and offering fundamental behavioral training (with Positive Reinforcement!). Whether your pet requires extra attention due to age-related concerns or needs guidance in developing positive behaviors, I am equipped with the knowledge and skills to provide tailored care. Trust in my decade-long experience and passion for animals to deliver a compassionate and reliable pet sitting service that prioritizes the health and happiness of your cherished companions.
Reviews
We are continuing to use Kat for our 12 week old pup and he absolutely loves her. She is flexible with her schedule and was able to cancel when we had a last minute vet visit. Also, she is super responsive when we ask if she can feed him and has been helping calm his crazy puppy energy.
Kat is great, very responsive and able to change around her own schedule to work with what we need. We have a very nippy 11 week old puppy and she’s handles him perfectly. Definitely loves animals and we will continue to book her!
Thank you Kat for watching my doggies. Kat is very sweet she communicated with me at all times. I will be booking again with her!
Kat has puppy sat for me on numerous occasions, both late nights and long trips away from home. I have 2 (fairly high maintenance) boxer puppies with a ton of energy. Kat plays with them and gives them all the attention they crave. While I was recently gone for a week, one of my puppies wasn't eating and Kat was so concerned that she went to the pet store and bought extra "high value" loaf food (which we use for training treats) to mix in with the dry food so my baby would eat. She keeps me updated with cute pics and videos of her playing with the puppies as well. I know my girls are in good hands when Kat stays with them. Her love of animals is obvious in the care she gives. I would recommend Kat for anyone who needs a sitter!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am experienced with dog handling and care so any amount of instructions is suitable for me. The more instruction and detail, the better. There is no such thing as spoiled and no problem that I'm not willing to help fix.
Information Kat Z. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know of any possible negative behaviors or triggers that can be avoided ahead of time. Example: "afraid of loud noises" "barks at people walking by, so we keep the blinds closed" It is also important to note behavioral quirks like "door bolter" "vocal" "beggar" and how big of a priority these are. Example: "Jerry will bolt for the door any time you open it, always watch for him." or "Luna begs at the table for food, we dont mind as long as she doesn't put her paws on the table"
A typical day
Walks are a classic way to get energy out and have some fun. But did you know that "sniffy walks" use up 10x more of their brain power? Letting dogs take sniffy walks and enriching their mind is one of the best ways to tire a dog out. I also enjoy making food toys/games for dogs and cats. Mental stimulation with food reward is such a fun way to spend time with your pets. I also enjoy a classic game of fetch or tug, and I wont say no if your pets favorite activity is snuggles. :)

I am a stay-at-home dog and cat mom presently, so pet care is my everyday. I enjoy pet sitting and dog walking because I miss the variety of different breeds and pets from my previous careers.
