Information Kate M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog or cat has any special needs that I need to take account for. All animals are welcome and will be cared for carefully.

A typical day

A typical day with me is full of tail wags, purrs, and play! For dogs, mornings usually start with a nice walk or some backyard zoomies to get the energy out. We might explore a local park, play fetch, or just enjoy some sniff-and-stroll time. Midday is perfect for cuddle breaks or a bit of quiet time if your pup needs a nap. For cats, I make sure they get plenty of love and attention too—whether that’s playtime with toys, interactive wand games, or just sitting together while they supervise me like the regal creatures they are. I pay close attention to their mood and comfort, and love earning their trust. I keep routines consistent, meals on time, and make sure everyone feels safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s a playful pup or a chill kitty, I’m all about creating a cozy and fun environment tailored to each pet’s personality!

Caring, Fun & Reliable!

Pet care experience

I grew up caring for a wide range of pets such as dogs, cats, chickens, turkeys, and rodents. My mom loved taking animals in and giving them a loving home. I’ve always had a love for providing the best care and attention to animals in need as well and have helped rescue a few animals with my mom growing up. I am currently applying for grad schools and am at home full time, therefore I will be able to give your furry or feather friends all the love and attention they need!

Both my cats were safe, happy, and healthy after their boarding at Kate's apartment. Her cat Minnie is absolutely adorable and got along with both of them after they became accustomed to being around each other. Kate provided updates every few days with some probing and lots of cute pictures of the kitties when asked. She was very accommodating with all the items I brought with my kitties to help with their care, and even went the extra mile to ensure they were separated during meal time so they wouldn't steal each other's food! Especially with my older cat, Flynn, as he tends to be a very hungry cat. Kate was also very accommodating with giving my younger cat Ryder her medications with her meals for kidney disease. Now that they're back home, both my cats are as vocal, energetic, and cuddly as they were before they left to Kate's apartment for 3 weeks. Kate did an amazing job!
