Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Katherine does a phenomenal job with our dogs when we travel. We have one with several health issues, and she's always patient and loving, taking time to make sure Amy is comfortable and cared for. All our dogs love her, she brings a calm energy that they respond to with her when she comes. She's good about sending me updates and letting me know how their day went, which means a lot to me. She goes above and beyond by spending time playing with them and taking them on walks. I use her every time I need someone to keep an eye on my fur babies.
Katherine watched my two kitties while I was on vacation and they came back fat and happy! She sent daily updates, pictures, and videos of the two boys and stayed in constant communication thought their stay. She has a lovely, clean home that my kitties absolutely loved. I would love for Katherine to watch my cats again!

Schedule
I'm home all day, every day, so your pet is never left alone for long. Pet care isn't a side gig for me, it's my full focus. That means constant supervision, steady routines, plenty of playtime and affection, potty breaks, feedings, and medications given right on schedule, exactly when your pet needs them.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Before your cat ever stays, you and I start with an in-depth consultation call or a relaxed meet-and-greet, because the secret to a calm stay is knowing your cat before they walk in the door. I want to hear it all: their personality and quirks, their favorite comforts and foods, their routine and hiding spots, any medications or medical needs, how they feel about other cats, and the little things that make them feel safe. It's also where you and I will go over vaccinations (current rabies and FVRCP are required, for everyone's safety) and any health history I should know. A few things I'll need from you: Your cat's full veterinary contact information, including your regular vet and your emergency preferences, so I'm ready to act fast if anything ever comes up. Current vaccination records and any medications, with clear instructions. Their honest personality, shy, spicy, senior, or social, so I can prep their suite and their days to fit them perfectly. And you're always welcome to bring their own bed, blanket, toys, food, and litter. Familiar smells make everything easier. The more I know, the more at home your cat feels, and the more you get to relax while you're away.
A typical day
Cats are far more curious and playful than people give them credit for, and a bored cat is a stressed cat, so enrichment is built into every single day. Mornings start with breakfast and a slow wake-up, then your cat will have the opportunity to move through the day with things your cat actually loves: wand and chase toys, puzzle feeders, crinkly tunnels, feather "hunts," and yes, even a little arts and crafts (think homemade toys and treat games). There's supervised catio time for birdwatching when you've given the okay, sunny window naps, brushing for the cats who love it, and plenty of lap time and slow blinks for the snugglers. For the shy ones, "fun" might just mean quiet company and patience until they're ready, and that's perfectly okay too. Every cat gets a day shaped around their personality, not a one-size-fits-all schedule.
