Highlights
Pet care experience
Wags, Purrs, & Peace of Mind
Hi, please call me Kat! I am a lifelong animal lover with over 8 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities. Whether it’s a shy senior, a bouncy puppy, or a special needs pet, I’m here to offer calm, compassionate, and reliable care tailored to their unique needs. I’ve been lovingly referred to as a “pet whisperer” by friends, family, and clients thanks to my gentle and nurturing presence; pets naturally gravitate toward me, and I treat every one like my own. I’m experienced with administering medications, supporting detailed routines, and making pets feel safe & cared for while their humans are away. Additionally, I have dedicated time to curating my care to make sure you receive a truly specialty service. While I always ensure I leave your home exactly how you left it, I offer optional add-on home cleaning and laundry services. I never mind having additional duties like tending to your flower garden, skimming the pool, and signing for packages either! I like to surprise, and wow, you & your pets. Complimentary treats, toys, teaching them a new trick, or getting the shy babies to open up like never before. I enjoy keeping things fun and exceeding the expectations. Can’t wait to meet your furry family!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Kat was great! She took great care of my cats and made sure they got their beds and lots of love! Highly recommend Kat to care for your pets!
Title: Amazing Pet Sitter – Highly Recommend Kat! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kat just finished watching my chihuahuas for a full week, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. From the moment we met, it was clear she genuinely loves animals and understands how to make them feel safe and happy. She sent me daily updates with adorable photos, kept me informed on how they were doing, and followed their routines perfectly. My chihuahuas can be a little shy at first, but they warmed up to her right away and by the end of the week, they were clearly smitten! I came home to five relaxed, happy pups. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, kind, and attentive pet sitter, Kat is the one. I will absolutely be booking her again in
Kat did an amazing job sitting for our 3 cats for a whole week while we were out of town. She really pampered our cats while we were gone and made sure they had everything they need. It gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were gone. She went above and beyond our expectations.
Great, as always! Took wonderful care of our fur baby, Remington ❤️
Katherine was incredible! This was the first time ever leaving our pup, Remy, and Katherine kept us at ease. She was thorough, responsive, and took great care of Remy. She sent pictures and updates throughout the day. 10/10 will be booking with Katherine again!
Updated us often and genuinely cared for our pups l.

Schedule
I offer overnight stays, drop-ins, and walks; all in the comfort of your home! In-home care removes the stressor of an unfamiliar environment for your furry friend. I work remotely, which gives me flexibility to stick to your pet’s schedule and offer plenty of one-on-one time. I am a local commuter student; my current schedule is 9:30AM-1:30PM Tues/Thurs. Let me know ahead of time if a prior arrangement is needed; I am more than happy to adjust my schedule accordingly. You'll get plenty of cute photo and video updates (frequency customized to your preference!) so you can feel confident your pet is happy, safe, and loved while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment
I am Pet CPR & First Aid certified with a personal vet tech contact for additional peace of mind. A substantial part of my career is in the pet industry, so I am well-versed in central aspects of pet wellness and safety. Body language, chewing styles, vigilance against tick/flea/other disease vectors; please feel free to ask questions and see if any of my other skills meet your pets needs. I know more than my fair share on preventing unwanted pests bothering our pups and cats; I am vigilant with maintaining pet health by implementing best practices against flea, ticks, and mosquitoes.

A typical day
It is my goal to make this experience as beneficial as possible for every member of the family. I want you to be able to smile at the photos of your bebe having fun or relaxing while you are away. When you get home, I want you to be welcomed back by a very content pet. - Snuffle mats - Aerobic exercise, such, slow and steady sniff walks. I am also comfortable swimming with dogs who are acclimated and love to show off their strong water skills. - Anaerobic exercise, such as sprint-based games like fetch. - Puzzles. - Manners and core skill activities. Our pet companions have a natural desire for routine/structure, and I make sure to fulfill that. Plus, you hard work should not be undone because you had to go out of town! - Of course, snuggles! If your pet is a cuddle bug, I am all for it!
