Safety, trust & environment

Every animal is an individual with different needs, so I always meet my clients where they're at. I prefer pet sitting within the animals' own homes as I've found most everyone is more at ease in a familiar environment. When boarding in my own home, I ask pet parents to pack all of the essentials from home such as- beds, toys, snacks, crates, puzzle feeders, a shirt that smells like someone they love, etc. I love to take photos and share updates as often as requested, but usually at least once a day.

Information Kay B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any necessary medications and/or of any health issues that your pet may be dealing with. Be sure to disclose if your pet has any separation anxiety and/or aggression with strangers when you are not home. Making sure everyone is as comfortable as possible is always priority! I would love to know their preferences (favorite toys, games, snacks, blankets, etc) so that I can make our time together as enjoyable as possible. I usually have my own snacks and toys that I bring along as well.

A typical day

Depending on location, I can bring your dogs to local parks, or walk them around their own neighborhood. For cats or other animals with disabilities who still want to enjoy some fresh air with a view, I have a pet stroller that I can walk them in!

Kind and Competent Animal Caretaker

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Kay! I am a professional animal caretaker with 12+ years of paid experience. I am a HUGE animal lover. Along with my professional background, I've also cohabitated with and personally cared for dozens of animals throughout my lifetime. I currently live with my leash-trained kitty, Vada, who has travelled all around the USA with me! Some animals I've worked closely with include: dogs, cats, hamsters, degus, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, turtles, frogs, goats, pigs, cows, turkeys, chickens, ducks, horses, donkeys, sheep, snails, and llamas. While I love ALL animals, I definitely have a special place in my heart for cats and chickens! I am a fast learner and a competent person, so I am confident that with a little guidance, I can appropriately care for pretty much any species! I would love to get more hands-on experience with fish, bunnies, animals with disabilities, and any type of reptile. I plan to have my own animal sanctuary one day, so am always looking to expand on my animal knowledge. <3 I have a fully-enclosed double pet stroller that I would be happy to share with my smaller clients. While I am not a professional cat trainer, I have taught my own two to walk on leashes, so I would be open to working with your felines if that's something that you feel could enrich their lives. Not all cats find it enjoyable! When boarding, your pet will be in my home with me, and/or I have a separate room for visitors that may be more stressed out in a new environment. I work from home, so I am almost always around to supervise. I can walk, play, clean litter boxes, change diapers, bathe, clean cages, administer medication, and/or just provide company for your non-human pals. If you're unsure if I can provide a specific service, don't hesitate to ask. I understand that animals are individuals with different needs and quirks. I am flexible, and can work with the specific needs of your companion animal. :) I recently relocated to Stockton, so I am looking for new, hopefully long-term, clients in the area. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Information here is to give general idea of my services/prices, but am flexible!

Kay was great with my cat Stanley on an over night visit. Very patient with him to warm up to her. She sent multiple pictures and updates a day. Kept him on his feeding and insulin shot schedule as well. Stanley received a lot of loving while I was gone. I would definitely recommend Kay and I've already booked her for additional time as well.

Kay was great. She had a drop in visit to take care of my cat. Noodle was well taken care of while I was gone.

Kay does a great job taking care of my cats and chickens! She’s very knowledgeable about cat behavior and nutrition, too. I plan to use her services often!
