Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced Animal Caregiver
I’ve spent over a decade working with animals, starting in Birmingham, Alabama, where I rescued, rehabilitated, and rehomed dogs through a bully breed rescue. I’ve also rescued and socialized cats and kittens, rehoming entire families. I currently have an active profile with Trusted House Sitters that has several five star reviews. After moving to New England, I worked at a cat hospice and later as a veterinary assistant at an emergency hospital. I’ve always had animals since I was a kid—especially cats—and I’ve also cared for reptiles, small pets like hamsters, and even fish. I’ve lived in many homes over the years and have often housesat for friends and family, so I’m comfortable caring for both pets and the spaces they love. I even have experience as a house cleaner and organizer and believe in leaving spaces better than I found them.

Safety, trust & environment
Caring for animals is truly a passion of mine, and I treat every pet with the same love and attention I would give my own. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, their safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I believe every walk, play session, or visit should be a highlight of their day, and I make sure to give them plenty of affection, attention, and enrichment. I’m attentive to their behavior and needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and happy while their owners are away.
Ratings and reviews
Kayte is a stellar pet sitter and a lovely person! She visited us twice before we left to meet us and our dog and cat and to learn the ins and outs of our house. She sent us info and pics every day and we were reassured that all was well with our pets and our home. She left our home immaculate. Highly recommend Kayte.
Kayte was such a responsible and reliable sitter. She was very knowledgeable and skilled in being able to discipline and bond with Cooper. I felt so comfortable while I was traveling in Europe - so far away. I was truly able to relax and know that Cooper was being well cared for and loved. Thank you Kayte, Rene Carew
Kayte is one of the best pet sitters I could ever ask for. She has house sat for me in three different apartments and has always taken incredible care of my cats, Mellow and Luna. One of my pets requires medical care, and Kayte handled everything flawlessly with compassion, confidence, and so much attentiveness. Knowing my pet was in her hands made me feel completely at ease, which is not something I say lightly. She also previously cared for my partner’s dog and did an amazing job there as well. Kayte is reliable, kind, thoughtful, communicative, and truly devoted to the animals she cares for. She goes above and beyond, not only making sure pets are safe and cared for, but making sure they feel loved and comfortable too. She is the kind of person you trust fully with both your pets and your home, and I would recommend her wholeheartedly.
Kayte was one of the best pet sitters we have ever had, and we have been hiring pet sitters for over 9 years. Anyone would be lucky to have Kayte care for their pets and home. We first met over Zoom. Then she came to our house and we went over everything weeks before we left over seas. Then during her sit, we had a gigantic snow storm (2 feet of snow) and Kayte took care of everything. She looked after the dogs and kitty, shoveled the steps and out to the car. She even unburied my car and cleared it off before we came home. She sent texts and photos throughout her stay and kept in touch by phone as well. I can not recommend Kayte enough. She worked on training our dog Sasha and delt with temperatures below zero outside for days on end. She learned how to work the woodstove in case of a power outage and stayed on top of everything. If 10 stars are high, Kayte gets 20. If you hire Kayte, you will not be disappointed. Oh, she left our house immaculate and let me a wonderful present. She's the best!

Schedule
Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I work part-time as a cheer coach a couple of times a week and occasionally help with our family business, but my schedule is very flexible. This allows me to be available most days for quality time, pet visits, walks, and check-ins. I enjoy building pet care into my routine and making sure animals get the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. 🐾
