Full-time animal lover

Pet care experience

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 150 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 offer peace of mind with transparent scheduling, regular updates, and plenty of pictures!

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.

Kate was wonderful with our dog who needs medications at specific times, and she communicated with us regularly. She sent pictures and updates, and she even cleaned the sheets and towels she used when staying at our house, which she also took very good care of while we were away. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her to others!

Lovely lovely lovely! Kate made sure my puppy Rhubarb was well taken care of while I was out of town. I received photos and videos and updates while I was away, and she went above and beyond to make sure everything was running smoothly in my absence. I came home to a tidy house and even a home-made dog cookie in the fridge for little Rhu! Will be reaching out to Kate again if I need a sitter- no question! ✨🙌
