Giving you Peace of Mind!

Pet care experience

Hi! I have pet/house sat for 9 years now for both dogs and cats (and hermit crabs, lizards, hedgehogs and hamsters)! I take pride in giving you peace of mind that your furry family member is well taken care of while you are away. I am familiar with administering medication and handling particularly nervous pets who struggle with separation anxiety. Some pet parents apologize if their furbabies need to sleep in bed with me, I say never apologize, because I hope they do!!!

Kate was absolutley wonderful for our fur babies! She took her own time to meet them before coming to house sit so they could be comfortable and they adorded her! It was so nice to know I had left them in good hands.

Kate watched our two dogs and two cats for a week. They were all so well loved and taken care of while we were away. She gave our dog Mickey medicine every day, scooped the cat boxes, played with our dogs and snuggled all of the animals daily. We will definitely use her again!

Our pets loved Kate! She was so flexible and accommodating with scheduling. Both our dog & cat are older and Kate was comfortable caring for them. We had regular updates and pictures from her and she was sure to make sure we were all on the same page. It was such a relief feeling confident that our pets and home were in good hands while we were away! We would absolutely love to have Kate stay again and would highly recommend her!

This was our first time using Kate and within days I knew I would use her again. My dog ended up not feeling well leaving Kate to have to clean up vomit. She kindly made rice and chicken for our dog and communicated enough to set my mind to ease. Both the cat and dog slept with her the first night so I knew they were in good hands! Kate is well spoken and trustworthy. We highly recommend booking with Kate to sit your pets!
