Safety, trust & environment

Safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are my top priorities when caring for pets. When I’m pet-sitting in your home, I respect your routine and your cat’s personal space. I make sure your kitty feels comfortable and at ease by following any specific instructions you provide, whether it’s about feeding, playtime, or administering medication. I always ensure that the space is safe and secure, making sure there are no hazards that could harm your pet. I also provide regular updates with photos and videos, so you can feel connected and confident that your pet is good hands!

Information Kate H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about your pets' comfort with strangers and any special needs they may have. Note that a meet and greet is required for safety purposes and to make sure you and your pet feel comfortable with me. For drop in visits, the meet and greet needs to be in your home where you pet(s) will be during our time together. These meet and greets are at no charge!

A typical day

In addition to feeding, fresh water, and brushing, I am happy to play with your cat to keep them socialized and stimulated while you are away!

Trustworthy Cat Mom in Arlington

Cat care experience

I've been taking care of cats since I was 12, and I've been a proud cat mom to my own fur baby, Fiji, since 2017. I love all animals, but especially have a soft spot for cats! Growing up with many animals, I understand how important it is to find someone who will care for your pet just like you do. I've used Rover before as a pet parent, so I have been in your shoes, and I try to treat every cat as I would my own! I offer a variety of services, from daily feeding and litter box cleaning to administering medication (if needed). My own cat is rather shy and so I have lots of experience with shy cats. I’d love to spend time playing with your fur baby, and will send you plenty of pictures and detailed notes. I will do a kitty photoshoot for every visit!

Kate was wonderful taking care of my cat. She came by in advance to get to know Bella and was careful to follow all my directions. I really appreciated the daily reports and photos. I would highly recommend for your cat!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
