Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced, flexible animal lover
I’ve always had multiple pets in my home. My parents run an animal rescue that I do social media marketing and chore support for. I have experience with all kinds and temperaments. I’ll administer meds, I’ll carry your arthritic dog up (no more than, please) 2 flights of stairs every night. No ask is too big—correction: I don’t think think I can carry your Great Dane up any stairs, but I’ll try anything once. All for the love of fur! Ask me about cash discounts :)
Cat care experience
Kate also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard and am near many trails and parks. I’m new to the area and would love to explore your pet’s favorite spots!
Ratings and reviews
Loved Kate house sitting for us. She sent lots of pictures and the dogs looked happy and content with her. That doesn’t always happen. Came home to a clean house and happy dogs. Who could ask for more.
Kate went above and beyond for my sweet Tucker while we were gone! Unfortunately, he fell sick at the end of od trip and Kate lead the process of taking him to the vet and emergency vet when I couldn't get back early. She saved his life and allowed me a little more time in the face of a teminal diagnosis.
Kate took such great care of our pup while we were gone, I think he is actually a little sad that she is gone now! She also went above and beyond taking care of our house while we were away. We look forward to working with Kate to watch Nero again in the future!
Kate did a great job taking care of our dog and our home over the 4th of July holiday! We felt very comfortable knowing that she was there to help Clara feel more relaxed while we were gone. She checked in several times with photos, but not so many that it was distracting from our vacation. Would definitely book with her again and recommend her for anyone needing a pet sitter!
Kate was great! She took care of all three of my little dogs while I was away for the week. She is super nice and very responsive, sent photos almost everyday, and just really seems like a good person. My flight got delayed coming home and I was unable to make it back the day I said I would be, and Kate promptly headed back over to my house to keep the dogs company for a last unexpected night! I am so thankful she was able to do that and appreciate it so much! Not everyone would have done that. Overall Kate was awesome and I will definitely book her again!
We booked Kate to stay at our home and take care of our cat Charlie and puppy Teddy while we were on vacation, and she did a fantastic job! She kept in regular contact, giving us updates and making sure we felt at ease while we were away. Both our pets were clearly well cared for—happy, healthy, and relaxed when we returned. Our home was spotless and well looked after, and Kate even went above and beyond when she discovered a leak, quickly mitigating the issue by moving items out of the way and using towels and a bowl to catch the water. We’re so grateful for her attentiveness and care. 10/10—would absolutely book again!

Schedule
I live in Loveland and work in Fort Collins during the week. I am pretty flexible and can usually work around your schedule! and I have a reliable, 4WD vehicle to travel to you and transport your furry friend if an emergency comes up in any weather.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsKate can host up to 1 pet per night
- I am a petite person, so I would appreciate a heads up on a large, rambunctious dog and plan other activities instead of a dog park or family park walk. If your dog is good on leash, there should be no problem!
