Pet care experience
Reliable + Trustworthy Pet Care
Hey there! I’m Kate. I'm a lover of ALL animals and experienced pet-sitter and a work-from-home semi-empty nester. 😉 As a solopreneur who schedules her own work days, I have lots of flexibility and freedom to take care of your fur babies. I believe that pets are a part of the family, so you can rest assured that I’ll treat your pet with love, kindness, and respect. Cats and dogs have always been an integral part of my life since I was little. I could never be away from any of my pets for very long before I had separation anxiety, lol! In all seriousness, it’s easy for me to form genuine bonds with all kinds of animals, which is why pet-sitting seems to come naturally to me. I’m married with two kids in college, and we have two kittens we adopted from FURR in December 2023. Prior to our new fluffballs, we had two English setters and two other cats who all got along amazingly well. Sadly, over the span of a couple of years, we had to make the painful decision to let each one go as old age and illness got the best of them. While nursing senior animals can be emotionally taxing, I’m so grateful we were able to give them that extra dose of love and care in their final months. Some of my favorite activities to do with dogs include fetch, walk/hike, and swimming. I love to get cats chasing after balls, lights, strings—you name it! And, of course, cuddling and swooning over them is top priority!

Ratings and reviews
Kate has again done a fantastic job caring for my senior dog! She stayed in contact with me daily and always sent multiple photos! She is a definite 5 Star Sitter and I look forward to rebooking Kate for any future travel! Diane
Kate always goes above and beyond for us. We feel in our minds that we have the best person out there to watch our animals. I can’t recommend Kate enough! We get updates everyday, the house is always spotless and Kate spends so much time with our animals! We truly feel so lucky to have her :)
Kate is excellent and has a gentle way with our kitties even our skittish girl. Thanks again it is nice to know our gang is cared for while we are away,
Always reliable and so good with our kitties - idk what we would do without Kate!
Kate is so helpful, kind, and responsive. Gunner loves his walks with her, and it is clear she really cares about him. I really appreciate all of her help and would highly recommend her.
Kate was so good with my two dogs! They had a blast playing inside and out with her. We felt very comfortable and would easily hire Kate anytime!
