Pet care experience

At 7, I couldn’t believe my mom let Ruffles join our household. We already had 2 cats and I was used to hearing “no” from her. Immediately, this soft, fluffy, roadside puppy captured my heart. Ever since, any place I’ve ever lived has always included multiple animals. As a mother, my 3 children enjoyed the company of two dogs , 5 cats, one hamster, and a Guinea pig at various times. Currently, we are holding steady with Luna, a 10 year old mixed breed dog and 3 American shorthairs, Cosmos, Twilight, and Rapunzel. This summer, I am interested in walking and caring for animals while resetting my teacher clock. This work will allow me to refill my soul, return to school rejuvenated, and bridge the gap between my 10 month salary and my mid-September first paycheck.

Kate was wonderful with Monty. We were a little worried about leaving our boy alone without us for the first time but Kate took good care of him. She is responsive and gave us timely updates on Monty’s wellbeing. We would book her again in a heartbeat. We are so grateful to her.

Once again Kate took excellent care of our precious kitties - thank you Kate! Her daily updates and photos kept us comforted knowing they were content and in good hands. She was quick to respond to messages, and she kept their food, water, and litter in perfect order. Don’t hesitate to book Kate!

Kate asked great questions on our walk through before watching our kitties and made sure they were well taken care of while we were away, attending to both physical and emotional needs. We would be happy to book again.
