Pet care experience

Dependable Care from Pet & Kid Mom

I live in Charlestown with my husband, three human kids, a sweet one-year-old dog, and a spirited cat, so caring for animals is truly second nature in our home! With over 20 years of hands-on experience, including senior dogs, special needs pets, and rescue animals, I bring dependable, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I’m trained in medication administration, attentive to behavioral cues, and committed to making every visit stress-free and enriching. As a pet parent myself, I understand how important trust and consistency are. You can count on me to treat your pets like family because that’s exactly how I care for my own. I provide regular updates, photos, and personalized attention so you feel confident and connected while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether in my home or yours, I care for pets with the same love and attention I give my own. In your home, I follow your routines closely with feeding, walking, playtime, and medications so your pet feels safe and comfortable. In my home, pets are welcomed into a calm, family-friendly space with plenty of attention, affection, and supervised activity. I prioritize each pet’s individual needs and ensure they’re cared for with patience, consistency, and respect.

Katy was amazing and made us feel at ease when we were away. She provided updates and photos and was very responsive when we had any questions before and during our booking with her. We will definitely be using her again!

As usual, Katy was so wonderful to our pup. She worked with us on scheduling, provided updates with pics and, most of all, peace of mind.

Katy was wonderful with our four cats. Very attentive and communicative.. we appreciate her very much! It put us at ease while we were away. Additionally, two of our shy girls took to her right away and even let her administer medicine. We will definitely use her in the future 🤗

Katy was amazing! Leaving your pets, especially when you’re far away is stressful, but I knew Katy was taking such great care of our cats. She was very responsive and communicative. She spent time to get to know each cat and their personalities and I appreciate how well cared for they were when we were away. We would absolutely rebook with Katy if we go away again!

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to schedule visits throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy the chance to get out of the house; especially when it means spending time with animals. Whether it’s a quick check-in, a walk, or extended care, I’m happy to fit your pet’s needs into my day with reliability and enthusiasm.

Before caring for your pet, it’s important for me to know their routine, personality, and any specific needs like medications, triggers, quirks, or favorite toys. I also like to know how they do on walks, around other animals, and with new people. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can provide care that’s safe, personalized, and comforting for your pet while you’re away.
