Safe, gentle, & intuitive caregiver

Pet care experience

Mature and reliable pet sitter. I am skilled at creating bonds with animals. I have owned both small and large dogs, ferrel cats, ferrets, rats, hamsters, birds, turtles, fish... and I am very tuned in to what makes them happy or afraid. I can try to accommodate cost negotiations after the first booking when I know more about the details of the job. I am currently studying animal communication, I am an alcohol and drug counselor with an MA in psychology. I love to be outdoors and enjoy taking long walks and socializing with the neighborhood people & pets. I am available mornings, evenings, overnight, and weekends. I will also do any other chores needed when you are away. I am an animal rights advocate, I have adopted many homeless pets as well as owning purebred dogs and cats. I treat animals with as much consideration as I do people. I am good at being the leader and guiding fearful, upset or high energy pets.

I have known Kate for 7 years, she adores all the animals in her care. Pets are so lucky to have her undivided attention- they are content, well behaved, and playful. Kate is responsible and very conscientious and caring.

I have worked with Kate off and on for several years. She is a warm and friendly person and a delight to work with. Where we work people bring in their fur babies and Kate is always loving on them and giving them treats. I think she would be a loving and responsible caregiver for fur babies.

Hi, I have known Katie for about 5 years now and have been using her services monthly.. She is loves animals and is very reliable and conscientious in her work.. I know that she has adopted several homeless pets and loves to take care of them, as well as the pets of others.. I highly recommend her for your services! (She is very smart too and always in a good mood! Easy to work with..)

Katie has been talking care of my dog and 3 cats for seven years. I am very happy with the service she provides because my pets are happy and well behaved. Katie takes care of my home and plants and brings in the mail when I am not home. I am thankful that she is reliable and consistent. I feel safe and secure leaving my home and pets with her for several days or weeks when I am away because she is a responsible person who will take care of my specific needs.

A typical day

During our visit we will walk, talk, run, and set out to have a good time. Everything will be about playing it safe, being well behaved but still having a doggone good time.
