Professional Animal Caretaker!
Pet care experience
I have been petsitting for the past 10 years. I worked in a doggy daycare for 2 and a half years, where I learned how to manage a big pack, basic training, and grooming. I have stayed in a multitude of homes, sometimes for weeks at a time to take wonderful care of their furry family members. Every pet owner is anxious about leaving their fur babies, but I will absolve that anxiety for you! I will text you pictures and updates everyday. Some of the animals I have petsit for have needed to be given medicine, both orally and injected, or had other specific care requirements. I am confident in my ability to administer meds and take care of any animal who may have special needs. I love creatures of all kinds, so I am more than willing to house sit for your exotic pets as well! I can care for reptiles, rodents, fish, you name it! I have no fears when it comes to animals. I care for them equally as other pets in your home. I am dedicated to maintaining a safe, fun environment for your pets and to give my undivided attention and care for your animals.
Reviews
Kate was wonderful! This was the first time leaving our pup and having Kate watch her while we were away took away any worries. Kate sent pics and checked in everyday to let us know how Billie was doing. Looking forward to having Kate watch Billie in the future. Thank you Kate ?!
Kate was fantastic! We had a last minute request and she was happy to drop in. She came in through a thunderstorm even! We know we can trust her with our boys
We felt great leaving our boys in Kate’s care! She did a meet and greet before hand and was breed knowledgeable. She also did great with not engaging in their jumpy behaviors. It is rare that the dogs are calm with someone right away. Kate sent pictures and left a thorough review card! Thanks Kate for all your help!
I’ve been having Kate come “snake sit” my beloved prized possession Honduran milk snake, Shake, who is a pain in the arsh to please and a specific care snake. He involves a lot of specific care and she has no hesitation to dive herself in showing her knowledge and care for such a unique pet.

I am not able to take pets into my own home as I have a dog who prefers to be the lady of the house and wants no other furry friends. I am able to bring lots of fun to your house though! I have a variety of enrichment games/puzzles and can work on basic commands and trick training. We can go for walks, play with toys, and anything else you request :)
Information Kathleen P. would like to know about your pet
I would need to know about any aggressive behaviors (not to turn you away; just to make a game plan that would be safest for everyone) or any special needs your dog may have. I have worked with all kinds of dogs, so if you’re hesitant to reach out over those concerns, please don’t be!
A typical day
I live near several parks, one of them being the Little Chute dog park! If your pup enjoys being outside, we can do hikes at high cliff for a more active dog or just a normal walk around the block for a chill dog. I know of several dog friendly trails that I can walk them on.

This is my only job at the moment, so I can dedicate 100% of my time to the care of your animals. I take the care of animals very seriously, and have many people who have relied on me to care for their pets for years.
