Highlights
Pet care experience
Open Communication is Key
I’ve been taking care of cats (especially recently) most often!! I’m able to give cats medication, trim nails, groom/bathe and even brush their teeth. Litter boxes are no worries to me! And I’ve yet to have a cat dislike me that I’ve worked with!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I don’t personally have animals as of now since I live in an apartment. However, before I moved to Seattle I had a snake I looked after, before then, multiple animals on a farm, (both indoors and outdoors) and my first ever pets were dogs and cats. I, again, am comfortable feeding, walking, grooming, cuddling, with most animals who want to cuddle me back, and I also know how to feed pets medication if they so need it. I stick to routines and schedules that are set up already, and as long as it’s included in your list of needs/ rules I will follow them to a T.
Ratings and reviews
Koto did a fantastic job taking care of our cat Snickers and communicating with us while we were away. I especially appreciated the daily updates and photos of Snickers.
Koto did a great job taking care of my two elderly cats, Misu and Willow. She sent me frequent updates with photos, which put my mind at ease while I was traveling. Koto is caring, detail oriented and is clearly an animal lover. I highly recommend her!
Koto did an amazing job looking after Penny and our house. She sent pictures daily and reached out for ideas when Penny refused her pill pocket medication. Our house was pristine when we got home and Penny was well adjusted and happy as a result of Koto’s care. We highly recommend Koto and would have her take care of Penny again in a heartbeat!
Koto is awesome! This was my first time with a house sitter, so I had no idea what to expect. Koto came over on time, sent picture updates, let me know anytime anything happened, was very transparent, and left my house nice and tidy! They also left me some candy in the fridge at the end of their stay. :) 10/10 would recommend!
Katherine was an incredible sitter for my two cats! This was their first time with her and despite being quite shy, they both warmed up to her and got quality time each visit. I loved all the updates and pics from Katherine throughout my trip and felt much calmer knowing they were well taken care of! I’d love to have her back the next time I need a Rover!
Koto has been caring for my anxious black cat for over a year, including several multi-day or -week trips, and even a time when my cat needed extra close attention after an injury. Koto is always very tidy, prompt and proactive with updates, and quickly built rapport with my cat. My cat recognizes Koto and shows very comfortable secure behavior around her. Whether doing daily checks or live-in as a sitter, working with Koto gave me a ton of peace of mind that my cat would be cared for, receive lots of attention, and that any specific instructions I provided (such as feeding times, medication, or keeping my cat out of off-limits rooms) would be followed carefully. I highly recommend Koto for a great petsitting option in the Seattle area.

Schedule
I work as a house manager at Vera Project, my schedule is relatively flexible. I will be nearly completely available to either come over to check on animals, or to stay over and take care of them for an extended period. I have a few gaps in some availability in the mornings. Just let me know and we can talk about it! Dog sitting/ check ins are temporarily unavailable in my services. My health is in a bit of a decline and cats are a bit easier for me to work with since dogs tend to need walks and more outside time. I hope you understand!
