Highlights
Pet care experience
Young professional & pet lover!
I have plenty of hands-on pet experience, from caring for my own dogs to fostering through animal shelters and volunteering with the sweet cats at the Best Friends Animal Society. I've always been the go-to sitter for my friends and family, and always take the time to meet the needs of each individual pet. I'm experienced and comfortable with cats as well as dogs of any size. I do especially well with anxious and shy pets who may need a little extra attention while you're away. My calm and warm demeanor helps puts pets at ease, and I understand the importance of going at YOUR pet's pace, whatever that may be. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I treat your pets like my own, not only ensuring that they are comfortable, but paying close attention to any instructions provided. I’m detail-oriented and make sure to follow your instructions carefully, whether that means sticking to a specific feeding routine, keeping an eye out for certain behaviors, or following your preferences for walks and playtime. I pay attention to body language, and maintain safe behavior to avoid putting your pet at any risk, whether we're taking a walk in the neighborhood or chilling at home. Caring for your furry family member is a responsibility that I always take seriously.
Ratings and reviews
Very communicative and accommodating! Provided updates and photos of my cat, Juno. Would book again!
Kathleen was great! Very reliable and Buddha was so happy with her!
Kate has watched Doug, my Doberman mixed dog, multiple times while I’ve gone out of town and always takes excellent care of him. She always keeps us in constant communication with pictures and notes multiple times a day. Doug has a lot of anxiety and trouble being apart from us but he is always in great shape after we return from trips. Highly recommend!
Kate has watched my cats several times and has always taken such great care of them. She’s caring, reliable, and really takes the time to get needed to make sure they are comfortable. Goose is very skittish and usually takes a while to warm up to people (if ever), but he trusted Kate so much that he actually slept with her! Enyo, on the other hand, is a very chatty tuxedo who loves attention and playtime, and Kate was always happy to play with her and keep her entertained. I don’t love being away from my little buddies but I honestly do feel better knowing they are well taken care of.

Schedule
My day job is hybrid, which gives me flexibility to drop in on your pets or take your dog for a walk while you’re out of the house. I’m happy to work with your schedule and your pet’s routine to make sure they get the attention and care they need.
