Pet care experience

Teacher by day, pet sitter by night

I have lived with small dogs or cats my entire life! If I am booked to care for your fur baby they will get my undivided attention :) Due to my teaching schedule, I have decided to not have my own furry animal at the moment as I live alone this year. But I do have two parakeets (Van Gogh and Monet)! They stay in their cage in my bedroom when I board dogs or cats! All the experience without the conflict especially if your animal prefers not to share!

Katherine is awesome! She sent lots of pictures of our kitty while we were away and let us know how he was doing. Would 100% recommend!

Kat did a great job and was very patient when caring for our 2 extremely shy cats. Kat went above and beyond to try to make our cats comfortable while we were away and followed our cats’ detailed feeding routines. I was very happy with this booking and will book with Kat again for any future trips!

She is amazing! I have a bunny and he is very shy. He seemed so comfortable in the pictures that she took. It is magical!

​Katherine was exceptional with Martin and Korra! She spent a significant amount of time with them, making sure they got plenty of playtime and attention. We had total peace of mind knowing she was looking after them while we were away. I highly recommend Katherine to anyone looking for a dedicated and caring sitter. 5 stars!

Katherine made a very sweet and calm first impression and she was a reliable sitter for my little kitty. I appreciate her visit summaries and plenty of pictures. It seems like she understands that some cats need a little extra time and I was happy to see her and my cat warming up to each other over a few days. Hope she can become a trusted regular sitter for us!

Katherine did a great job caring for our two resident cats and foster kitten. I'm used to rovers sending a few pictures, but Katherine sent 10-20 pics which I really appreciated, alongside very detailed updates outlining all the steps taken for the various cats. I will definitely use Katherine again.

I work full time teaching during the week September-May and love to spend my time after work caring for animals. I will be full time pet sitting for the months of June-August!

Safety, trust & environment

I have two parakeets sons in my home, Van Gogh and Monet. If I am boarding a fluffy buddy the birds stay in their cage in my bedroom which stays closed. My apartment complex has a dog park and is also on bike trails great for walks around Tenney Park. I am also a public school teacher so I am thoroughly background checked! If I am visiting your home I can assure that I will treat your space with care, respect, and no judgement.

A typical day

I am flexible to care for your pet however best suits their needs! Whether that looks like mental stimulation hanging out in the grass, watching cat tv, or sitting next to each other. Or getting the zoomies out with a long walk or toy play time.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs

Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat

Katherine can host up to 1 pet per night
Let me know how your pet likes to be cared for! Any typical behaviors are helpful to know in advance. I have no breed preference. For boarding, fur babies must be okay with sleeping in the living room or their crate due to my parakeets being caged in my bedroom. Though I am happy to snuggle if they don’t mind birds!
