Looking to love on your fur babies

Hi! My name is Kate and I live in South Austin. I’m looking for a rewarding way to earn a little extra cash and love on some fur babies while I’m at it. I have years of experience pet sitting for friends and family, as well as years of experience with pets of my own. I currently have two dogs and four cats back home and miss them so much. I would love it if you’d let me love on yours, whether that’s through a walk, some playtime, or a drop in visit for some cuddles! As someone with pets of my own that mean the world to me, I understand how stressful it can be to put yours in the hands of someone you don’t know well. That’s why I want to assure you I will go above and beyond to make sure your cats and dogs are happy, taken care of, cuddled, and of course, safe!

Kate was so great so my dogs! She was thorough in the updates she sent me and very communicative. When my sneaky Aussiedoodle slipped out, she got him back in quickly. I have two doodles with very different personalities and I could tell when I go home, that both dogs were well taken care of. I will definitely be using her again when I travel next!

Kate did such a great job watching Lily! She kept me updated all throughout the trip and Lily had the best time with all of her walks and dog park time. Kate made me feel super comfortable with leaving Lily with her!

Kate was great with our two dogs. She was great at communicating, left the house clean, and sent cute photos. Would hire again and recommend!

It was a short and sweet stay for Cubbie. Kate made Cubs know he was in good hands. We sure appreciate Kate, and her care for my lil human.
