Highlights
Pet care experience
I love all the fur babies!
For many years I lived in an apartment and could not have pets, so taking care of friend's and friends of friend's pets was a wonderful way to connect with animals. I've spent extended periods with dogs and cats - I've even taken care of a dozen chickens, in addition to the resident dogs and cat for one friend. I now have a sweet kitty in my life named Koda, along with my housemates two cats. I will take care of your fur babies just as you would. I know how stressful kenneling can be, so let me hang out with your fur kids.

Safety, trust & environment
I will take care of your pets as instructed by you - in fact, having written instructions will help me immensely, particularly if there are medications or special needs to be met. If I'm staying overnight I will spend my time hanging out, walking or doing supervised potty breaks, providing lots of toy time and snuggles with your pets. Knowing what a typical day looks like for you and your household will give me the guidance I need.
Ratings and reviews
Kathy continues to be an absolute gem and our go to Critter Sitter!! She spent everyday hangin with our pack of pups, took them in the pool everyday for their FAV summertime activity…swimming annnnd for Winston, getting water splashed for him to chase…he’s our special one haha! We came home to an immaculate nest and happy critters…although they were elated to see us, it was very evident that they love their Kathy as they continued to follow her around even though we were there! Winston and Waylon have claimed her haha! Also, being the sweet peapod that she is she left me a little card and a dog mama necklace…which I absolutely love!!
Kathy saved the day for us!! We had an all day event and needed someone to hang with our pups for a few hours and feed and walk them! She’s a gem!!
Kathy is such a gem!!! Most importantly my critters love her and the love is reciprocated! She is so thoughtful….after staying at our nest and observing my love of dragonflies she found a sweet little dragonfly bag and filled it with treasures! So thankful for her! 💚🐾🐾
Our experience with Kathy was amazing! She took amazing care of my 2 boy cats as well as our condo, left everything the way she found it if not better. Stan has a bad heart and needs medication and Kathy handled everything perfectly. She sent multiple updates and photos a day (which I loved!) 10/10 recommend her. We already have her booked for our next trip!
Kathy was absolutely amazing. She was with our little Princess Pomeranian, Stella, for an entire week while we were out of town - she was THE BEST. She kept us updated throughout the days with photos, took her on adventures and walks / activities, and kept our house in more than perfect condition. We are so beyond happy that we found Kathy and will 100% be asking for her to stay with our girl again! Stella misses her already!
Kathy took wonderful care of Winston for two weeks while we were away. She stayed at our home and made the entire experience stress-free by sending regular updates, photos, and communicating with me daily. She administered Winston’s daily medications, took him on multiple walks each day, and genuinely cared for his well-being. Not only was she dependable, kind, and flexible—especially on the day our travel home changed—but she also left our house spotless and exactly as we had left it. Knowing Winston was in such good hands gave me real peace of mind while traveling. I would absolutely recommend Kathy to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.

Schedule
I am retired and have no real constraints on my time other than occasional travel. Because I don't have outside work, I'm free to spend most of my time with your pets.
