Reliable, Philly based pet sitter

Pet care experience

Reliable and caring pet sitter with experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages—from playful puppies to gentle seniors (I have a real soft spot for senior pups!). I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs and always prioritize their comfort and routine. I also have cat sitting experience and am comfortable with feeding, litter care, and giving cats the attention—or space—they prefer. Walks and drop-in visits available, always tailored to your pet’s needs. My goal is simple: happy pets and peace of mind for you while you’re away.

Kathryn did drop-in visits for our cat, and she seemed to have a great time with Kathryn! 😊

Kate was wonderful with my sassy cattle dog, Donut. She communicated well and made him feel right at home. Would definitely recommend!

Caring, communicative, and a huge dog lover. I felt totally comfortable leaving my dog for the first time. Will be booking with her in the future, for sure!

I am extremely pleased with the level of care my dog received. She cared for my dog during two separate week-long trips, and both experiences were excellent. It provided significant peace of mind knowing my dog was in such reliable and attentive hands. She communicated regularly, providing frequent updates that kept me well-informed while I was away. She was also diligent in following my dog’s medication schedule precisely, which was very important. In addition, she ensured my dog received daily walks and consistent attention. Notably, my neighbors commented on the high quality of care, mentioning how happy and well-cared-for my dog appeared throughout my absence. This further reinforced my confidence in her services. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a dependable, responsible, and attentive dog sitter, and I would gladly book her services again in the future.
