Pet care experience

Experienced cat sitter <3

I grew up with cats my entire life and absolutely adore them. Currently I have two, five year old indoor cats with different personalities and needs. While they are both still relatively young and healthy - one is on a special urinary diet that I have to monitor, and another has minor FHS and general anxiety. I myself worry about my cats when I have to go out of town given their needs, so I completely understand the importance of following care instructions closely and monitoring cat's behavior and health. I also understand that all cats have different comfort levels and interests when it comes to playing and interacting with (new) people, and respect their privacy when they are getting to know me.

Safety, trust & environment

I have indoor cats - so I know the importance of keeping doors closed, etc and keeping an eye on the little ones. I'm very good about feeding appropriate amounts at appropriate times as well as keeping the litter box clean and monitoring potty activity.

Kate is a wonderful petsitter! She goes the extra mile and sends a ton of videos and funny pictures of my cats playing and having fun with her. She’s taken care of my cats since they were kittens so my reviews are probably getting a bit repetitive at this point—she does such a great job 👏

Kate was attentive, communicative, and kind! She dropped in on my one kitty while I was out of town and everything went perfectly.

Schedule

I'm a full time PhD student at Cornell. I live in Dryden, but am also on campus every day in Ithaca. I commute with my car and so it is easy reach clients' residences in either area. Cat visits are ideal for me because I can stop by before and after work. Early mornings are best as well as after 6pm drop-in visits -- but I can be flexible if necessary.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Kate can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Let me know if your cat or dog has any special needs. I’m most comfortable with small-medium dogs and gentle larger dogs. Knowing energy levels ahead of time is also important!
