Kat is fantastic, she’s our go-to cat sitter whenever we’re out of town. She sends thorough updates each visit and we always know our kitty is in the best hands with her. Can’t recommend Kat enough!

Kat is the best. We recently moved to the South Bay and we had to find a new dog sitter on short notice. We had trouble matching with a sitter after looking on a few different websites. When we found Kat, it was an instant match. Our dog warmed up to her without hesitation. Kat fed, walked and cuddled w our dog twice a day for the better half of the 4th of July week. We highly recommend Kat.

Kat has been caring for my cat Goober for years, and I've been very happy with their petsitting services, even when I've needed their help on short notice.
Goober can be a nervous little cat at times, and he can go crazy when getting his nails trimmed, but Kat is really patient with nervous little cats, so nail-trimming goes by pretty smoothly. Their patience, expertise, and genuine care for Goober have made them an irreplaceable part of our lives. Kat also sends picture updates of Goober if and when I need them. Highly recommend Kat to anyone who needs a trustworthy, skilled pet sitter!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I have a referral program where you and a friend can get a free drop-in pet sit, or 50% off one day of house sitting/overnight visit, for each friend with a confirmed booking.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I provide estimates and we set up a free Meet & Greet, usually at your home, to see if we are a great match.
During the Meet & Greet, we go over your routines with your pets and discuss any quirks with your pets and your home, house rules, where cleaning supplies are, where the trash can is, what to do with keys, having print out instructions available, etc.. If the Meet & Greet goes well, I usually receive a key and I will see your pets soon!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am certified in pet first aid and CPR by American Red Cross.
