Pet care experience

As someone who had a special needs dog for 17 years, I understand the necessity of having the right person care for your pup. Hi! I'm Kat. I'm 31 years old and I live in Guttenberg, NJ. I am a paralegal, a recent law school graduate but most importantly, an animal lover. Before having to put my senior dog down (2022), I devoted all of my time and energy to my little girl. We shared amazing times together as well as very trying ones too (visits to vets/emergency rooms and specialists all over the country). Krystal suffered from diabetes (injections 2x a day for 10+ years), blindness, arthritis, and a few other aliments. Still, none of these issues stopped us from having fun and living our lives to the fullest! Whenever I needed someone to look after Krystal, I went into full dog-mom mode to find an understanding, patient, loving and trustworthy person to watch her. So, as someone who has been there, I will ensure that I give the same level of devotion, care and attention I required for my fur baby, to yours. Please feel free to contact me for further information about my experience, my home or to schedule a meet and great before any booking. I’d love to make sure I am the right fit for you two (or three)!

Katherine is the best - will 100% have her watch our dog again. Took care of him as he was recovering from a surgery during the holidays and included him in all the festivities.

Kat took a very good care of my two cats. She was super reliable. I never had to worry about my baby’s well-being while I was away. Kat’s communication is also commendable; she always keeping me updated with photos and messages about how my cats were doing. Thanks!
