Pet care experience

There is nothing better then spending time with an animal and earning their trust and affection. My whole life I have been a pet sitter and still to this day it proves to be one of the most rewarding experiences. Giving your baby lots of love and exceptional care is what I am here for! You can trust me to give good care and company to your furry family member while you are out of town. With all my valuable experience caring for animals you can rest easy knowing everything at home is being taken care of. Currently, due to high demand I only accept clients within my specified oakland radius. I can't wait to meet you and your furry friend!

Kate was great! We were anxious leaving our newly adopted dog behind for a week, especially since he was nervous around new people. Luckily he warmed up very quickly to Kate, within hours after our departure! Kate was responsive and sent great photos. She took our Loki on a hike and to the parks, and kept our cat well fed. No complaints from us, thanks again!

Kate was flexible over the holidays and took such great care of December and our apartment throughout her stay at our place. We’ll definitely be a return client when the time calls for it!!

Information Kate R. would like to know about your pet

Before committing to a stay I require a meet and greet to find out if we are a good fit. During this time I like to learn what your pet’s typical day looks like, if they have any triggers, and what activities and treats they enjoy the most. Also at this point we can go over any house upkeep you may need while out of town.

A typical day

Due to the change of having a new human staying with them, I like to keep to a schedule the animal feels most comfortable with. This will depend on each animal and their needs. I also make a point to send daily updates along with photos each day of the stay.
