Leave your furbaby in safe hands💜

Pet care experience

I currently live in an apartment in Harrison with my two dogs Daisy and Phoenix. Petsitting brings me so much joy so you can be sure I'll always try to make something work! Your fur baby will have my undivided attention while you are away. I am very experienced and have owned all kinds of animals since I was little. Dogs, cats, bunnies, birds you name it! I am also a volunteer at the Humane Society animal shelter in Newark, NJ where I help with walking the dogs, adoption events and so on. I am also currently in school to become a veterinary technician. The safety and comfort of your pet is my number one priority. You can be sure that I will spoil your baby with love, play and any other activities! If your dog is very active I can provide daily walks, trips to the lake, dog beach, dog park, you name it. I live in walking distance to a dog park so your dog will have plenty of exercise every day and interact with other pups (with your permission of course!) If you have a cat who is a couch potato, you can be sure that we will be cuddling together all day long. I can also provide basic grooming. I'll update you with photos multiple times a day to let you know how your furry friend is doing. I take my job as a sitter seriously and will be here to answer any kind of questions you might have! I can provide references upon request. Trained in pet first aid/CPR and providing a fear free environment for your furbaby. I am comfortable with all breeds, sizes and temperaments. There is nothing I can't handle! Accidents, weird quirks, extra special food instructions, etc.. been there, done that! I am also experienced in administering medication and take this very seriously, so you can be at ease that your baby is always getting their meds! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns. I want to make sure you know your baby is in THE BEST hands possible!

Kathy was amazing with Nala and Nala made a lifelong friend with Kathy’s min pin, Phoenix. She kept me updated with photos on how everything was going and I felt so comfortable leaving my pup with her. Will definitely recommend Kathy to anyone needing a sitter !

Kathy was amazing with Aki!! She was very responsive and sent me lots of pictures of Aki throughout the stay. Aki got along very well with Daisy and Phoenix, and she seemed to be very happy. I would love to have Kathy sit Aki again in the future.

Kathy is an amazing sitter. She did drop ins for my cat, Maisy, and was very attentive and kind. My cat takes medications and does not have a great appetite due to having cancer, and she made sure she was doing well. Kathy sent me multiple photos everyday which I really appreciated. I will definitely book Kathy again!
