Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable pet sitter
Hi there! I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and have years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I had my own dog for 15 amazing years and she was truly my baby. I loved spoiling her and making sure she always felt safe and happy. That’s exactly the kind of care I bring to every pet I watch! I offer pet sitting and dog walking, including walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of cuddles (if they’re into that!). I’m happy to stick to your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets by keeping their routine as consistent and stress free as possible. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, and any specific needs, so your pet stays comfortable and secure. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and communication, and I’m always attentive to making sure your pet feels happy, relaxed, and well cared for.
Ratings and reviews
Kat was great with Smokey! She even went out of her way to come meet him before starting to care for him. I would definitely book her again!
Katherine is a great sitter. She is punctual provides very detailed updates and is kind and warm. My cat enjoyed his time with her, and I felt safe leaving him in her care!
She was great! Very communicative and did everything she told me she did. Was great at sending pictures and making sure my kitty was doing good while I was out of town! 😊
Cannot be trusted.. During her first visit, Katherine brought her boyfriend into my apartment without notifying me or asking for permission. He was laying on my couch.. I did not address it at the time. On her second visit, she brought 2 additional people into my apartment, again without my knowledge or permission. Most concerningly, I have a pet camera in my apartment that I use to monitor my cat while I am away. During her visit, Katherine INTENTIONALLY REPOSITIONED THE CAMERA so that it no longer showed the room, preventing me from seeing what was happening inside my home. In a city like New York, nobody wants a stranger inside their home... for security, privacy, and hygiene, etc... To add... she not only came 3 hours late to her scheduled visit, she never stayed for the full duration.
Katherine was super nice and sent plenty of photos of Gerald. She was very responsive and respectful! Will book again!
Katherine was very sweet with Midnight and I appreciated that she spent time playing with and brushing him during her visits! Very pleased that he was happy and well cared for. :)

Schedule
I work from home three days a week, which means I have plenty of time to give your pet attention throughout the day. No long stretches alone.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsKatherine can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
- Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, medical conditions, or behaviors I should be aware of so I can provide the best care possible. This includes feeding schedules, medications, energy levels, and how they interact with new people or environments. I don’t have strict breed preferences but I do appreciate knowing your pet’s temperament ahead of time so I can make sure it’s a great fit for both of us.
