Surprise/West Valley Caretaker

Pet care experience

I've cared for cats, dogs, guinea pigs, and rabbits since I was a child! So I come with 30+ years of experience with a variety of animals. While cats and dogs have been my primary experience in general care, as well as medication disbursement. Trained as a human massage therapist, I have also provided this service to family and friends dogs and cats as well.

Kate is just wonderful with my pets and it's clear that she has a connection with animals. I think my dog loves her more than he loves me. He's a large dog and can be quite hyperactive, but I don't worry when Kate is watching him, she has such a calming presence with him. She's also fantastic with our cats. She follows instructions to a T, is quick to communicate and is absolutely reliable.

I've known Kate for years and she always goes above and beyond when I ask her to watch my cats when I go out of town. She tells me how much she enjoys being with them and getting to know their individual personalities. She sends pictures of them when I'm missing them most and when I arrive back home every thing is just how I like it to be for them. Highly recommend!

Kate has worked for me many times. She listens to your needs for you pet and does her best to fulfill them. She truly loves animals and they respond to that and adore her. I would and will highly recommend her to anyone who needs a caring and careful pet sitter. I know she has had experience with numerous pets as a child excluding guinea pigs and rabbits. If I could I would give her a 5 🌟 rating.

Information Kate M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know any special little peculiarities for your fur babies! I've experience with a wide variety of cats and dogs and feel comfortable big or small! I grew up with cats, basset hounds, pugs, a toy poodle, just to name a few and now I live with three standard poodles as well as three cats! I've also loved my friends dogs from tiny chihuahuas to giant great danes, so small or large is no problem. I just need to know what makes them go crazy (in a good way)! Of course i also need to know what will drive them to have those bad (or fearful) reactions! Do they easily take medications? Can you only approach them from the left?

A typical day

I love exploring on a walk with the dogs, finding new places in a community. After some nice long walks, nothing better than playing with some of their favorite toys. Then when worn out, I know my dogs love to catch some nature channel to occasionally bark at in the evenings ?.
