Pet care experience

Devoted. Safe. Above & Beyond Care.

I’ve cared for my own snails, cat, gerbils, and dog, giving me years of hands‑on experience with very different personalities, needs, and routines. 🐾 I’ve also taken care of other people’s dogs, cats, and rabbits, helping with everything from daily feeding and walks to medication, grooming, and companionship. 🐾 Friends and neighbors have trusted me for over a decade to look after their pets with patience, reliability, and genuine affection. 🐾 I’m also happy to help with small home‑care tasks like watering plants or bringing in the mail while you’re away. 🐾 At home, I have a beautiful dog who is absolutely the queen of the household — loving her has only deepened my passion for providing gentle, attentive care to every animal I meet. 🐾

Kate renewed my faith in Rover after several others canceled. She immediately bonded with our dog, sent updates and left things in excellent condition. Will definitely book with her again.

Kate is amazing! She went above and beyond to look after our cat and our home. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a trusted, thoughtful, and thorough pet sitter.

Kate was excellent! She was very patient as the details kept changing ahead of my booking and was great with the cats. Her updates were very appreciated .

Kate was amazing at looking after our shy (and aloof) cat. She was incredibly communicative and spent time everyday playing with Midge — building trust and ensuring she had some social time. We would trust Kate with our pet again in a heartbeat.

Schedule

Each day I take my small pug out for morning and afternoon potty breaks, plus a nice evening walk. We usually average about 2 miles of walking each day. Sometimes we stroll with my neighbor's dog or visit the park next door. She'll relax in the garden while I water, or stretch out on my balcony enjoying the fresh air and soaking up the warm sun rays. 🐾

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in a calm, structured routine that helps them feel comfortable and secure. In my home, I provide consistent potty breaks, daily walks (2x), fresh water, regular meals, and plenty of affection. I make sure each pet gets the right balance of exercise, play, and quiet time. 🐾 When I’m in a client’s home, I follow their established routines closely—feeding schedules, walk times, medication needs, and any special instructions—so their pets feel right at home. I also keep an eye on behavior, comfort, and safety, and I always give updates so owners know how their pets are doing. 🐾

Let me know if your dog/cat/pet has any past traumas, special needs, or certain daily routines that need to be considered. My preference is for breeds that are adults/seniors, small, low to medium energy, and spayed/neutered. 🐾
