Ratings and reviews
Kat was very good with the dogs, they took to her like they knew her for years, she kept us up to date with pictures and text messages. We highly recommend Kat for anyone that is looking for someone that wants a home sitter, we will use her services again if she is not too booked.
Kate was incredible ! Always provided updates and photos and communicates really well. She also may have left our place cleaner than it was when we left! She’s awesome! Highly recommend!!
We cannot recommend Kate highly enough! From the moment we connected, she was professional, warm, and incredibly attentive to our pets and home. Throughout our trip, she provided regular updates, including photos and thoughtful messages, which truly gave us peace of mind like no one else could. It was clear that our pets adored her, and we returned to find our home immaculate —it was as if we had never left! Knowing our pets were so well cared for allowed us to fully relax and enjoy our vacation. Kate went above and beyond in every way, and we feel so lucky to have had her stay. If you're looking for a kind, responsible, and trustworthy sitter, look no further. We would welcome Kate back anytime in a heartbeat!
We were so grateful to have Kate watch our 2 elderly dogs (who have lots of special needs!)--I felt like they were in such good hands, in a way that allowed me to relax during our time away. Kate is intelligent, thoughtful, kind, and attentive to detail. She was good at communicating, our dogs loved her, our house was clean when we returned, and we felt completely comfortable with her in our home. We would have her back in a heartbeat! Thank you so much Kate!
Kate stayed with my dog and cat for 10 days and she was an amazing sitter! She was thorough, clean, reliable and sent lots of updates which I always appreciate. She even went to pick up more cat food for us when our delayed order came in during the sit. I think our dog was extra sad to see Kate go because she took him to the dog park a bunch! I could tell Kate wanted to take the best care of our pets and would gladly have her back.

Schedule
I run an independent ops & strategic management practice. So I'll mostly work from your space (housesits) with occasional trips out for errands etc. Happy to bring the doggos along for whatever suits them! I can adapt quickly to the specific needs and routines of your pets. I have pet sat for the high maintenance - to super chill, so willing to accommodate whatever expectations you and your pets have.
