Availability
I am a writer and researcher, who is funded by a Fulbright Grant. My schedule is entirely my own and I prefer to write at home–or, simply, not in public spaces–so I am quite available to spend lots of time with pets. I also am a big walker and am always happy to have the excuse to go on extra walk with four-legged pals.

About Katherine C.

Safety, trust & environment
I know that each pet will require a specific type and schedule of care. I am great at adapting to diverse needs. Because I live a fairly quiet life and hold a pretty gentle routine (lot's of writing and reading) I have a lot of space in my day to make sure each pet is getting as much attention and exercise as they want. I myself love to get exercise and know how important a consistent diet is–it's not different for our pets, in my opinion!

Pet care experience
From caring for geriatric kitties with diet and daily medication needs to taking rambunctious pups through the longest of walks, I have had my fair share of pet-care adventures. I am an old hand at long-term dog and cat-sits and know that part of pet-sitting is getting to know the pet and their personality. I have cared for an anxiety prone pooches, taken pets for doctor and grooming visits, administered oral medication to old cats and gone on many, many long walks with big dogs. I know that each pet needs a specific type of care and am eager to figure out each scenario as it comes to pass.

Reviews
Kate was amazing! She was communicative throughout our trip, sent lots of great photos and updates, and gave us complete peace of mind. We could tell she genuinely cared about our pets and treated them like her own. It was such a relief knowing they were in such good hands. We also came home to a spotless house, which was a wonderful bonus. I highly recommend Kate to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter!
We recently had the pleasure of having Katherine watch our two Labrador Retrievers—one a gentle giant at 12 ½ years old and 100 pounds, and the other a lively 7-year old at 65 pounds—and we couldn’t be more grateful for the exceptional care she provided. Katherine followed our instructions to a tee, making sure both dogs got all the exercise they needed, despite their different energy levels. She also took outstanding care of our home. Her genuine love for animals shone through in the way she handled our dogs. We came home to two very happy and well cared for Labs. We would highly, highly recommend Katherine to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and responsible pet sitter. She truly exceeded our expectations and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away.
Kate was excellent. She is conscientious, clean, but more importantly took care of my animals with great care. She is very active and took our dog on long, patient walks. More than we are often able to give on our own. She is communicative and quick to respond when it matters. Can't recommend her enough.
Having known Kate for her entire life, I can’t recommend her enough as a pet caregiver! She’s incredibly dedicated, hardworking, and genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. With several years of prior experience as a pet sitter under her belt, and having handled pets ranging from unruly to unwell, she knows exactly how to handle different situations and make sure they feel comfortbale. I’ve seen firsthand how responsible she is, and I’m confident she’d be an amazing caregiver for any pet!
