Former nanny shifts focus to pets
Pet care experience
I provide top-notch, in-home care for pets in the Austin area. I was a nanny for 5 kids for 7 years and a tech writer for 20+ years. I pride myself in being a caring professional. A former nanny and tech writer, I am now a musician and an artist part time, which leaves me ample time to care for animals. I meet with the pet owner prior to my initial pet sit to tour the home and familiarize myself with the animals’ care and feeding routine. I take copious notes. I adhere to all house rules and pet care protocols.
Reviews
Kate H has been a wonderful pet sitter for my two rescue pups. They are usually slow to trust but took to her right away. She performed house-sitting duties as well as taking care of the puppers and spent quality time with them in addition to their essential care. I have known Kate in her capacity as a musician/singer/songwriter for years but she wears many hats (quite literally- she has an amazing hat collection) and house/pet sitting is one of them. She sent photos of my girls while I was traveling for business and they looked so content and happy. It makes my life so much easier as a dog mom to know that my girls will get loving care in their own home when I can't be here and I know I can count on Kate to maintain a level head if any emergencies arise and make good decisions. I recommend her unreservedly for loving and reliable care for your furry family members. I know, from friends, that she also gives excellent care for feline-Americans, as well.

Safety, trust & environment
I tend to keep a close eye on the animal I’m caring for. I’ll supervise her in the yard, if need be. When walking, I always employ a leash; pick up poop; and make sure the pet is safe.
Information Kate H. would like to know about your pet
Let me know what times of day your dog eats; if she needs any medication; or if there are certain treats she associates with certain activities.
A typical day
I love to make sure your dog is engaged and happy. I will take her for walks throughout your neighborhood and let her sniff up a storm; if you’d prefer that she stay in your yard, I’m cool with supervising that, instead.

Availability
I currently work part-time. My days tend to be free, which leaves ample room for engaging your pup in games of fetch and other forms of amusement.
