Pet care experience

Loving & reliable: purr-fect care

I have had cats my entire life and from a young age have cared for them. I’ve looked after cats from kitten to senior and am available to give them play, pets, pills - or whatever else they might require. I understand that your cats are your family and while you’re away, I will love them as though they were my own!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I will care for your cats in your own home and will prioritize their routines and preferences. Each visit will include time to spend with your cat, playing, petting, brushing, or whatever they enjoy. (And if they are wary of strangers or shy, I will respect their need for space but still make sure they have everything they need.)

Katharine M. Was amazing with my cat Cosita she sent me details messages about my cat and picture she definitely help me stay calm during my time away from my cat while I was on vacation. My cat even liked her and my cat is a very shy kitty she only likes me. I can not thank her enough. I know I definitely will be booking with her again!.

I've known Kate and her cats for 25 wonderful years, and her kindness, responsibility, and deep empathy for pets are simply unmatched. Kate's pets are family, not companions or accessories. And she responds the exact same way to the furry family members of others. I know that she will watch your kitty with a spirit of joy and kindness. They will love her!

Any pet that comes into Katharine's (Kate's) life is bound to be loved and cared for, be they her own animals or someone else's. She can be gentle and tender with shy animals. She can also be firm and require discipline from wayward, headstrong creatures. Reliability and a strong sense of responsibility are core values for Kate. She will be our cat sitter for Winter and Bella once we move to Baltimore. You need not have any reservations about calling on her to care for your furry family members.

Schedule

I work full time but have a flexible schedule so can usually alter my routine to suit your pets’ needs. The more notice I have, the more flexible I can be.

Cats
Katharine can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Let me know if your cat enjoys certain toys or games or if they are nervous around new people. I will meet them where they are and interact as they feel comfortable. If they have special medical or dietary requirements I will make sure I have detailed instructions to ensure the highest quality of care.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
