Animals make me who I am!

Pet care experience

I grew up on a farm in Idaho. My older, fuzzier, brother was a Schnauzer, named Gus. I begged Santa for a horse until I was 11 and was lucky enough to get my first of many, an Appaloosa. Before that, I was surrounded by cats and Gus. I wanted to be a vet, but I decided it made more sense to be an economics major. I had a spirited, trash talking Yorkie, Cleo, to whom I was a single mom for 17 years. Fast forward 20 years later - I’ve been rescuing, spaying, neutering, releasing, re-homing feral cats from a vacant lot in Kearny Mesa. 54 kittens and 15+ Adult cats over 3+ years. I work from home 24/7 (Website Designer + Real Estate Broker). I’m available as a dog walker (I spend way too much time in front of my computer), cat sitter/drop in visits, overnight care and in home pet sitter. Animals make me happy ;-) I just can’t add to my personal tribe... or I would have 15+ :-)

Kate almost forgot to see our cats one day and we had to keep sending her reminders. Was hoping to enjoy a trip away and not have to worry if she was going to remember to stop by to feed them.

While my cat had zero interest in Kate’s presence, Kate did an amazing job taking care of her while we were out of town. So was a well fed and watered lil kitty. Thanks Kate!

Information Kate P. would like to know about your pet

I don’t judge - but I need to be won over by owners of Pit Bulls, they just aren’t my gig. Although I deeply love a Pit-Lab mix named Sadie. Right time, right dog.

A typical day

I love all dogs and cats. I should walk/jog more because I spend all my time in front of a computer or in my car, so dog walking is a win win.
