Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for your pets in their own home, I focus on creating a safe and loving atmosphere that mirrors their usual routine. I closely follow your guidelines for feeding, exercise, and any special needs. For overnight stays, I offer in-home pet sitting at your residence to minimize disruption to your pets’ daily life. I bring my own very well-trained dog, who is friendly and sociable with other animals. This provides companionship for your pets and adds a positive dynamic to their environment. I carefully introduce my dog to your pets to keep everyone comfortable and safe. I maintain open communication and can provide regular updates and photos, giving you peace of mind that your pets are happy and well-cared for. Your home will be respected and kept tidy, and I follow any specific instructions you have. My goal is to build trust with you and your pets by offering reliable, compassionate care that keeps tails wagging and feathers fluttering until you return.

Kate was amazing! I felt so confident leaving Oak with her for 4 days. She kept us updated with consistent updates, photos and videos. She even took photos of Oak with her camera and sent them over after. I’d recommend Kate to care for any pup!! We came home to a happy and tired puppy.

Kate was the best pet sitter I’ve ever had in my whole life! My Sammy is now fully in love with her. She is professional, kind, communicative, and trustworthy! She took care of my 80lb dog for several weeks and was amazing. 100% would recommend to anyone and I will definitely be re-hiring Kate next time I travel! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Kate is dependable & wonderful with our cats and hens. She spends quality time with our cats by playing with them & giving them some needed attention when we’re off island. Highly recommend.

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs. For overnight stays, I will have my personal well-behaved border collie. She is excellent in playful fun and demonstrating good behavior.
