Pet care experience
Hey! My name is Kate and I'm a Cal Poly graduate and am now a Team Lead of Account Management for a leading medical software company! I've had pets my entire life; my parents' first child was actually Jack the cat, who became my right hand man for the next 16 years. Since my parents adopted Jack, our house has never been without a pet. I've always been directly involved in caring for them and making sure that they live their best possible pet lives :)
Reviews
very prompt and professional and she responded quickly. I will definitely use her again :)
Kate is incredible! Very caring, kind, and trustworthy Cal Poly student. You definitely need to call her. You will have no worries with Kate and can trust her entirely! She house sat our two dogs and a cat and always gave us updates and sent cute photos of her visits.
We were Kate's first customer, hopefully the first of very many for her! She and her family are the most welcoming, loving, and caring people. I have never been happier with a choice in sitters! We couldn't even get our dog to leave the night we picked him up! He loved his new family that much ?

Safety, trust & environment
Whatever works best for you, works best for me! I understand that we all have different priorities, routines, diets, activities, and "rules" with our pets, and that's totally fine with me! Whatever is preferred will be accompanied by much love, attention and play time! I can always make time in my day to make sure that our pet friends get everything they need!
Information Kate L. would like to know about your pet
I have no breed preferences and don't have any fear of pitbulls or similar breeds. I have experience working with tiny dogs, HUGE dogs, old dogs and puppies. I'll love your buddy no matter who they are! My grandma also had a blind and deaf dog, so I've had experience around disabled pets. Just let me know if they're half-wolf or something (this happened to me before and I felt ill-prepared haha).
A typical day
If there are typical paths your pets feel safe on, we'll stick to that! Or, if your pet loves adventure, I'm always ready to go explore. If we need to take it slow for an older buddy, staying inside to watch their favorite movie is always an option too.

I grew up insisting on having (and ended up having) hamsters, mice, fish, rabbits, hermit crabs... I've just always had an amazing connection to animals! Next came Maggie, the most loving and gentle boxer dog in the world (if you have a boxer, you know what I mean)! Unfortunately she is no longer with us, but she changed my life in so many ways that she's always with me! On my 16th Birthday I got Willy, my now-cranky old cat, and in college I adopted my sweet kitty Stevie Nicole. I work from home which means Stevie can sit in my lap while I'm working, and I always take breaks to give her attention (I'm a crazy cat lady sometimes), and her needs truly come first. To say the least, my day revolves around my pets, and I make the rest work (and I don't want it any other way)!
