Safety, trust & environment

I am always happy to house sit and care for your pet in the environment that makes them most comfortable. I prefer to go over their daily schedule and time based needs so that your pet does not experience any anxiety in the change. At this time I am only able to offer homecare in my home to CATS. I do have one elderly cat who is up to date on all his shots. He is very friendly and loves kittens.

Information Katherine H. would like to know about your pet

If your pet has any special needs, allergies, dietary restrictions, or habits that I should keep an eye out for. It's important that we're both comfortable and safe!

A typical day

We'll go for a long walk or a leisurely stroll depending on your pets needs. I am an expert tennis ball retriever so fetch is always an option for any pets that prefer that!

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Kay! I have two years of professional experience in dog & cat sitting and four years of cat, dog + babysitting so I can, or have, handled it all. I love to go for long walks and I've always enjoyed taking a four legged companion with me to challenge my distance. I'm also great with leash training and will absolutely enforce any rules a family has to keep their pet (and home) safe. I also have experience pet sitting cats, ferrets, fish, and hamsters. If its a long walk, a fun time with a Frisbee, love and cuddles, or just a friendly face to drop by that you need, I'll make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

Kay was responsive, so kind, and asked all the questions to make sure she knew everything she could about our kitty. We knew we didn’t have to worry about a thing while we were away. 10/10 recommend!

Kay did an amazing job with our cats, we have a very temperamental old man and a very skittish little girl and Kay was able to win them both over in no time! Will absolutely be rebooking for our future trips.

Kay was unbelievable. She took such wonderful care of Gracie. I felt extremely comfortable leaving her with Kay. Kay was also extremely flexible with her schedule. It was very evident she loves animals and enjoys taking care of them. Kay went way over and above my expectations. I would highly recommend Kay to anyone looking for a care taker.

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.
