Pet care experience

Trustworthy Cat Mom in Arlington

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. You can trust that your cat will receive the same level of love, attention, and affection while you're away! I offer a variety of services, from daily feeding and litter box cleaning to administering medication (if needed). I’d love to spend time playing with your fur baby, and will send you plenty of pictures and detailed notes. I primarily work from home so I have a flexible schedule. I’m also available most weeknight evenings and throughout the weekend, so I can provide consistent care when you need it!

Pets

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. This includes keeping doors and windows closed, removing any dangerous items, and making sure the pet has access to their essential needs (food, water, litter, etc.) in a quiet, safe space. I also provide regular updates with photos and videos, so you can feel connected and confident that your pet is in loving hands.

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!

Kate is simply the best!! She truly cares about animals and always brings over fun toys for my cat to play with while I am gone. There’s no one I trust more with my cat!

Kate is a fabulous cat sitter! She always goes above and beyond when caring for my cat Bub and I never have to worry while I am away. She is reliable, attentive, and clearly loves animals. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.

Kate is so loving and patient with all pets - she's a wonderful and caring cat mom to her own kitty, and I've entrusted her with my sweet tortie girl many times. I would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a responsible, communicative, and kind caregiver!
