Reliable + Trustworthy Pet Care
Pet care experience
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!
Reviews
Kate is amazing! She took Molly on long walks, kept us up to date on everything, and cared for her with love! Kate is wonderful. You can definitely trust your precious pets with her. You rock, Kate. We can't thank you enough for everything!
Considering this was our first time engaging a sitter via Rover, we got really lucky finding someone like Kate. Not only was she able to administer insulin to one of our cats, she was very accommodating of our schedules and specific requirements. She was punctual & responsible, and a big bonus that the cats didn't shy away from her :)
Kate is doing an amazing job with our 10 year old Boston Terrier. Kate is flexible, reliable, kind, caring and has the most genuine personality. We feel blessed that Kate has agreed to provide drop by visits / walks mid-day for our four-legged kiddo on a weekly schedule. We are also excited to utilize her overnight services in her home when we are away and can’t take our dog with us. We look forward to continue booking with Kate and highly recommended her pet sitting services.
I have known Kate a long time and she is a very organized, responsible and reliable person all around. She also has a deep love of animals and all her life has been a pet parent to many dogs, cats and other animals. They get the same worry and attention as her own human children. I can highly recommend her as a pet sitter for your beloved fur baby!
