Availability

Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, and I build my days around it. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I make sure each pet gets the time, attention, and care they need. My schedule is very flexible since I work from home, which allows me to be reliable and consistent—something I know is super important when it comes to your pet’s routine and comfort.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, pets get lots of attention, cozy spots to relax, and a calm, safe environment. I follow their usual routines—mealtimes, walks, play, and any special needs—so they feel right at home. I keep things clean, low-stress, and full of affection. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and focus on creating a calm, loving presence for your pet. I stick closely to your instructions so they stay happy, healthy, and relaxed while you’re away.

Loving Sitters and Happy Pets 🐶

Pet care experience

I truly love spending time with animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether your dog loves long walks or your cat prefers cozy naps, I’ll follow their routine and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I’m experienced with senior pets, giving meds, and reading body language to keep tails wagging and whiskers relaxed. I know how much your pet means to you—and I’ll show up with heart every single time.

Our dog Brandi had such a fun time at Kathy’s! She was extremely accommodating and sent daily updates and pictures. We would definitely want Brandi to stay with her again!

Great cat sitter, excellent communication. Has dogs, but our cat chased the dogs, not vice versa. Kept him entertained!
