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 has great cat energy! My super shy girl was out snuggling up with her on day one - almost unheard of! Very impressed with her patience and care in looking after my cat.

Katherine gave our cats excellent care and attention. She was great at communicating and keeping us informed. She clearly took the time to befriend our cats and get to know their needs and preferences. We would be lucky to have her care for them again!

What a lifesaver Katherine was for my cat and I!!! She did such a wonderful job checking in on her last minute and executing everything flawlessly.

Kat was very attentive to my cats, asking me about unusual behavior and getting them to play together.

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.

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!
