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
Katherine was amazing! I trust very few people with my boy and she made me super comfortable by respecting all my rules and providing a lot of updates. Lincoln also ended up loving her and asking for a bunch of pets. Thank you!!!!
Ziggy loves Kat! Always a great experience 💕
As always, Kat pulled through! She accepted a last minute booking to take care of my tiny monster 💜 and Ziggy was thrilled to see her again!
Katherine’s been sitting for our two dogs a few times now and they really love her when we’re out of town. She’s always updating us, gives them plenty of attention and are so well taken care of we don’t have to worry at all while out of town.
Kat was incredible as always! She took Sophie on some great hikes in Runyon and always leaves our apartment so tidy (she even washes the sheets and towels!). We’ll continue to book Kat as long as she’s available.
We have had Katherine stay at our home with our doodle Freddie prior to this visit - she stayed for nearly 1 week with him and they bonded and grew even closer during that time. We appreciate her attentiveness and communication and will be working with her again in the future!

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.
