Highlights
Pet care experience
Pet-care & peace of mind!
With a lifelong passion for pets, I have extensive experience in caring for both dogs and cats, young and old. Growing up in a household with multiple pets, I have developed a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. Over the years, I have owned and cared for various breeds, ensuring they receive the best care, attention, and love. I have also had plenty of experience taking care of puppies of different neighbors growing up. From daily walks and playtime to grooming and health monitoring, my hands-on experience has equipped me with the skills to provide exceptional pet care. My commitment to their well-being drives me to offer reliable and compassionate service to fellow pet owners.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
We booked Kate to house sit for the first time over a 2 day weekend. How lucky we were! Kate responds immediately to texts, arrived on time for a meet & great and instantly became a BFF with our 2 dogs, arrived on time for 2 night stay, very responsible and house was spotless when we came back. She was super flexible and easy to work with. Dogs still miss her as every morning they are still going into the room she slept in to look for her. Very much look forward to booking her again.
Simply put, Kate is the best. This was the first time we left our dog with a sitter and I knew upon first meeting her that we were leaving him in capable and experienced hands. Her affection for him was immediate, genuine and reciprocal - which is saying something about a 100 pound Great Pyrenees. We highly recommend Kate and will certainly be using her again.
Excellent with my lab Maggie, highly recommended.
We recently had the pleasure of having Kate care for our dog Rocky while we were away, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! Rocky requires daily medication and a bit of extra attention, and Kate handled everything with such care and professionalism. We highly recommend Kate to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and responsible pet sitter. Thank you again, Kate!
Kate was wonderful with our three kitties. We had never worked with her before, and she was able to handle a complex situation that that involved medications with one of our kitties who is healing from a foot injury. She was also available on very short notice which was a huge relief to us. Her communication was excellent, and her enthusiasm and care for animals is immediately apparent. We highly recommend Kate and we’re so glad we have met her!!
Kate was absolutely wonderful!! Super great with Bella and Bumi, and very good with all of her communications! Will definitely use her again and again.

I am currently home from college and working a full time job, however, I am remote most days of the week. I have plenty of time in the day to take care of an animal and would love to meet your pets!
Where your pet will stay
Safety, trust & environment
In my home, I ensure pets receive consistent and attentive care by establishing a daily routine. This includes feeding them nutritious meals at regular times, providing fresh water, and maintaining a clean environment. I prioritize playtime and exercise to keep them physically and mentally stimulated, tailoring activities to their preferences and energy levels. Regular grooming and health checks are part of my routine to ensure they remain clean and healthy. When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I offer personalized services to match their specific needs and routines. I begin by discussing their pet's habits, preferences, and any special requirements. In the client's home, I adhere to their established feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any specific care instructions provided. I ensure the pet's living area is clean and comfortable and provide companionship and attention to ease any separation anxiety. My goal is to create a seamless and stress-free experience for both the pets and their owners, ensuring pets feel secure and loved whether they're in my home or their own.
A typical day
When watching pets, I engage them in various fun activities like interactive play sessions with toys, and outdoor walks or runs. I love spending time outside and that translates well into pet care!
