Lend me your critters!

Pet care experience

I truly love animals of all kinds and would be thrilled to care for your cats, small dogs, birds, snakes, hamsters, bunnies, and tarantulas! I’m available for drop ins, walks, and house sitting, and would love to keep your pets company and make sure they have whatever they need. I have experience house sitting for cats and chickens and walking/cuddling friends’ dogs whenever I get the chance. I’m a regular sitter for several friends and love to spend time with their pets, making sure they have whatever they need, including playtime, medications, dirt baths (for chickens only!), and Netflix and chill time together! I’ve had two cat buddies of my own for 10 years now plus a squad tarantulas and adorable jumping spiders, and growing up I had a sweet Collie mutt dog, turtles, frogs, rabbits, a horse named Fred, and more.

Kate made sure my cat finished his dinner with all his pills crushed in. Such a relief to know he’s well taken care of while I’m gone.

I was sooooo relieved to have Kate taking care of my special-needs cat. My cat was having a little trouble eating after a complication of a vet visit and Kate was able to get him to eat all of his food! This was so wonderful because he is already losing too much weight, and also because his important pills are in his food. Kate was very sweet to Nigel and even got him to take a few naps on her lap! It was very stress-reducing each time Kate sent me an update, or when her photos arrived via Rover Cards. If you have a quiet, sensitive cat, hire Kate for sure. As a bonus, Kate watered my newly-planted yard plants, which kept them from dying while I was away. Phew!

Kate is the best cat sitter I have hired. My cat is very scared of most people and hides from anyone who moves too ungracefully or isn't in-tune with his kitty "sensitivities". Kate is probably even nicer to him than I am. She is also very good at following instructions which is imperative because Nigel is on quite a few medications and the schedule is a bit odd. She goes above and beyond and will even stay and watch Netflix with him for a bit because he needs his routine couch/lap time or I'll feel very sad about him being lonely. Kate's flexibility of schedule is helpful too; so many times I've been lucky that she was available at very short notice to take care of Ni-ni and my house when I am out of town.

I have known Kate for over 12 years, she is an amazingly kind and thoughtful person. She is extremely open minded, fun to be around and genuinely kind. These qualities combine to make her a truly exceptional Cat mom. When I travel Kate always takes care of my cat and I know that my cat is getting the best kind of attention and love anyone could ask for their pet. Truthfully, none of this is hyperbole. Kate cares deeply about animals and is great to be around!
