About Kate

🧶 20% discount available for sits of 2+ weeks

🧶 You'll only be charged for the first month of a multi-month sit

Hello, pet parents! I have over a decade of experience pet-sitting, with references available on request. I have experience with traumatised pets, elderly pets, pets with health concerns, medication administration, and tricky eaters. I'm unwilling to care for permanantly caged animals for ethical reasons. I have the most experience with dogs and cats, though I only care for dogs for short periods, as I struggle to match their energy. 😅

I'm a homebody who doesn't really drink, smoke or party, so your place is in very safe hands. I'm good with plants, will always leave the place as clean or cleaner than I found it, won't crank your thermostat, and won't bother your neighbours.

I pet-sit because I adore animals and I love the idea of being a calming presence during a time when they might otherwise be feeling distress. I'm able to do this often enough that I don't have to rent an apartment. I'm autistic, which means I'm highly prone to burnout. Not having to worry about rent has allowed me to work hours that are more within my ability and to have a lot more freedom of movement. 😸

Unfortunately, I can't accept stays that are more than a 20 minute walk from a metro station or more than 10 mins from a frequent and reliable bus route.

We cannot recommend Kate highly enough! She is absolutely fantastic. From the moment we met her, we could tell that she genuinely cares about animals. She took amazing care of our pets ( cat & dog), ensuring they were happy, well-fed, and comfortable the entire time I was away. She sent regular updates, including photos, which gave us such peace of mind. Our pets absolutely adore her, and I know they are in safe hands whenever she is around. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and loving, she is the one!
