Highlights
Pet care experience
Full-Time Animal Lover
Raised in a family of veterinarians and surrounded by pets daily, my love for animal care is lifelong. I started dog sitting for neighbors 6 years ago and fell in love with it so I’m currently pet sitting full-time. I spend as much time as possible with animals. When I’m not sitting, I enjoy fostering cats and taking rescue pups on 'Dog Days Out'. With a history of over 200 overnight stays and dozens of additional walks and drop-ins visits, I’m eager to bring this care to your home and look after your pets as if they were my own. I’ve recently expanded my services to host one household at a time. I offer peace of mind with transparent scheduling, regular updates, and plenty of pictures!

Ratings and reviews
Kate is wonderful. So happy she was available! Kate took great care of Elle and Lexicon! She took them on walks, played ball with them, fed them and sent photos throughout their day together. She even dropped them off in the evening. Use her service—she’s great!!🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
Kate was wonderful! I felt completely comfortable having her stay overnight at my place with Cheerio. Cheerio instantly loved her and it was clear she was in great hands. Kate was also great about sending updates throughout the stay, which I really appreciated. I’d definitely have her watch Cheerio again!
Kate sent excellent photos of our doggos when they stayed with her. They seemed quite happy to stay with her. She also provided great communications and flexible logistics.
We were so lucky that Kate was available last minute to watch Tia! Kate did a great job keeping Tia comfortable and safe which gave us the peace of mind to enjoy a weekend away.
Kate did a fantastic job watching our home and mini bernadoodle. She gave us updates every day along with pictures and videos to let us know how he was doing. It was much more relaxing being away and getting to see that our pup was doing well with a smile on his face. Our home was clean when we came home you would never know someone else had been living here for the week. I would definitely recommend her and hire her again for another sit!
Kate was a great sitter who took care of my senior (19) kitty with special needs requiring daily medication and lots of attention, as well as my four backyard chickens! She left the house clean and even washed the sheets she slept on. She was very responsive and communicative with me throughout the whole four day house sitting visit. I would recommend her as your next sitter.

A typical day
As a professional sitter, I remain available around the clock and enjoy furry company in all forms. I’m happy to couch sit with the lap dogs and cats of the world. Outside cuddles, together we can plan enriching activities for your pet based on preferences, training, and trust. I’ve take energetic dogs on hikes and managed the outdoor time of curious cats. I’d love to learn what your pets enjoy!
