Pet care experience

Independently Insured. Cat Lady. 🐈

Trusted, Professional Cat Sitter 😻 Whether you're traveling or just need a hand, I'll provide professional, reliable care for your cats from the comfort of your own home. Cats thrive with consistent care in familiar surroundings, and you deserve peace of mind while you're away. I'll provide a predictable routine in a calm environment so you come home to a happy kitty. Your cat's wellbeing is my top priority, so each visit follows a calm, low-stress routine that’s tailored to their individual needs. My considerate approach lets your cat initiate contact (if at all). Every interaction will be met with positive reinforcement while continuously monitoring for signs of fear, anxiety, and stress. Every drop-in includes food, water, and litter box upkeep, plus a balance of play and pets to keep your cat fulfilled and content. If your cat prefers to stay hidden in their safe space, that’s honored too. You'll enjoy peace of mind with daily wellness reports, complete with photos and detailed notes from the visit. --- Feline-Focused Expertise: - Fear Free Certified Professional - Cat & Dog First Aid & CPR Certified - Independently insured & bonded through Pet Sitters Associates - Able to administer pills, liquid medication, and other supplements - Volunteer experience with socializing shelter cats and assisting with TNR (trap-neuter-return) efforts My understanding of cat behavior is constantly expanding, and I'm actively pursuing advanced certifications to better serve cats and their humans. --- About Me: Cats are my first love. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to our feline friends. But it wasn’t until I became an official member of the Cat Distribution System 13 years ago that my cat lady fate was sealed. Now, I’m the proud guardian of four cats and have experience caring for seniors, all purrsonalities, and community cats who want nothing to do with most humans — except me. I know the difference between a tail flick that means “curious” and one that means “anxious.” And I structure my visits around the needs of each individual cat. I’m not just feeding and scooping litter. I’m earning your cat’s trust while giving you peace of mind. Cats deserve care that’s designed just for them, and I’m on a mission to provide a premium experience you’ll both love. If you need help with your indoor fur babies or outdoor community cats, reach out today.

Safety, trust & environment

Cats deserve individual attention and to have their boundaries respected. Some are social butterflies while others take their time getting used to new humans, if ever. My approach is based on respect and is never forced, allowing your kitty to administer a thorough sniff test in order to gain their approval and trust. Whether your cat is shy, spicy, or snuggly — I'll honor their space to make sure they feel safe and respected.

I cannot recommend Katy enough! She went above and beyond while caring for my cat, Frida, who is still adjusting after our recent move. Contractors showed up unexpectedly during the week, and she thoughtfully asked if they’d be back so she could plan her visits around them; just to help minimize stress for Frida. That level of care and consideration meant so much. Her visit reports were incredibly thorough. She detailed every litter box scoop (including type), and when Frida got into human food in the pantry, she not only took photos but also made sure the food was secured so it wouldn’t happen again. At one point we thought our auto feeder had failed, and she troubleshot it until she confirmed it was working properly. Frida, who is usually shy, warmed up to her instantly and showered her with affection at every visit. It was clear she has a natural gift with cats; she truly is the cat lady of Lockhart. I’d be thrilled to book her again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone. If you want someone who treats your pet like their own and gives you total peace of mind, she’s the one!

I requested Katy’s services on short notice and couldn’t be happier. She asked all the right questions and was communicative and reassuring. My cats are a tad shy but she was able to coax them out of their shells for play time and pets. She was thorough and respectful and I will absolutely be booking with her in the future! Thanks, Katy!

Katy is a reliable-pet-sitter-extraordinaire! She exceeds expectations and ensures your four legged friend is well taken care of while you are away. Her communication puts any worries at ease and she cares for animals as if they were her own. My cat is quite fond of Katy and he is always prompt to welcome her at the door when she comes by. 🐱 I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable pet sitter!

Schedule

I typically book drop-ins within flexible windows: morning (8 AM–12 PM), midday (12–4 PM), or evening (4–8 PM). I may be able to accommodate earlier, later, or specific timing needs (such as medication schedules) depending on availability. Just let me know your preferred times!

Cats
Katy can host up to 6 drop-ins per day
Let me know if your cat has any special needs, behaviors, dietary restrictions, physical abilities, or other important details that will help me take better care of them. Cats thrive when they receive consistent care in the comfort of their own home—and you deserve peace of mind while you're away.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
