Highlights
Pet care experience
Love to be your pets bestie 💕
You can count on me to be there for your pets when you can't be. With a solid background in professional pet care, I bring extensive experience and knowledge to every pet I care for. 6yrs of PetSmart, I gained hands-on experience with a wide variety of pets, from dogs and cats to birds, reptiles, and small mammals. I honed my skills in grooming, feeding, and providing basic care, ensuring each pet’s health and happiness. 2yrs of working at a pet hospital has given me a deep understanding of animal health and medical needs. I assisted veterinarians with medications, and learned to recognize and respond to various health issues. I am confident in my ability to provide top-notch care, ensuring your pets are happy, healthy, and well-tended.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets, whether in my own home or at a client's home, I prioritize their well-being, safety, and comfort. Pets staying in my home receive daily walks, playtime, and enrichment activities to keep them physically and mentally stimulated. I secure any hazardous items or areas within my home to prevent accidents, and I supervise pets closely to ensure their safety at all times. I keep pet owners informed with regular updates, including photos and messages, to reassure them that their pets are in good hands. By following these practices, I ensure that pets receive the highest standard of care and attention, whether in my home or in the comfort of their own home environment.
Ratings and reviews
Great communication, my dogs lover her!
Love Kat!
Kat is our dog’s number one sitter.
Kat is great! My dogs love her. She's friendly, patient with two silly, distracted dogs, and a real gem.
Katherine was very responsible and thorough. She sent me frequent pictures and updates of my cat while she was staying with her. I felt like Katherine made Cleo her priority for the days she was booked to pet sit and I appreciated the open lines of communication. I did not worry about Cleo's well-being while I was away because I knew she and Katherine became fast friends.
Kat was able to accommodate a super last minute request to do a series of walks for our girl. Though it had been many months since she and Lusi had last met and we were not able to do a reintroduction, Kat was very patient with her and got Lusi warmed up to her within a few minutes. She followed care instructions well and sent tons of pictures. Very communicative and capable of handling our strong-willed girl on walks. Will absolutely hire her again!

Schedule
This is my full time job, and I am willing to stay overnights. As a freelancer painter with a flexible schedule, pet care easily integrates into my daily and weekly routine. I can start my day with morning walks or feeding sessions for pets, ensuring they get the exercise and attention they need to kick-start their day. During breaks I work on sketches, play games and read. I can dedicate time to check in on pets, provide companionship, and attend to any feeding or medication needs. For extended pet sitting assignments, I can adjust my painting schedule to include overnight stays, ensuring pets have continuous care and companionship.

- Absolutely, gathering important information about the pets ahead of time is crucial for providing the best care possible. Knowing a pet medical needs, diet restrictions, behavioral traits is important. By gathering this information ahead of time, I can ensure a smooth and seamless transition into caring for the pets, allowing me to provide personalized and attentive care tailored to their individual needs and preferences.
