Availability

My calendar is the most accurate and up to date version of my hours! *** Until August 10th, I am unable to care for pets after 10am on Sundays. *** I work a 8-5 in-person on Monday-Thursday. However, I WFH on Fridays, and have full availability on weekends (from Thursday at 6pm onwards) to housesit for your pets!! I almost always cannot accommodate overnight stays on Monday-Thursday for pets that need regular potty breaks or constant care during the day. During the week, I am available to check on pets and go on walks in the mornings (before 7:30am) and evenings (after 5pm). On Fridays and weekends, I have full availability and can meet your pet whenever works best for them! I cannot visit pets around lunchtime or during the day from Monday - Thursday.

Safety, trust & environment

I am able to meet your pets at their home, making sure they stay safe and calm meeting a new person in an environment they’re already comfortable with! We’d follow typical schedules, visit typical routes for walks, and make sure they stay as calm as possible by maintaining stability and reducing the stress of new introductions.

Information Kathleen H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know how long your pet can be left alone for, as well as their schedule, any dietary restrictions, how they do with other animals/humans, and quirks!! To provide the best possible care for your pets, I’d love to know as much about them as possible, including specific meal times, sleep/wake times, and instructions for when/where they can leave the house.

A typical day

I love to play all pets, using all types of toys like feathers, balls, sticks, squeaky toys and strings. I’d also spend time cuddling with your pet and keeping them company indoors. I also have spent a lot of time with dogs in their own backyards, playing for long periods at a time at home and going for long walks to parks.

This was the first time that I left my cats with a non family member. Kathleen did a great job asking thoughtful questions, approaching the cats gently and communicating with me while I was gone. Everything was tidy upon my return and the cats were well cared for.

Kathleen was absolutely wonderful with our two cats, Rosie and Teddy. Her communication was top-notch with consistent, thorough updates after every visit, and she genuinely cared for our pets as if they were her own. We couldn't have asked for a more reliable, caring sitter and will definitely be booking her again!

Kathleen has watched our cats twice, and does a great job! She is communicative and provides regular updates. The cats were very well taken care of, and so was our house!

Each sitter joining needs to pass an identity verification. And by booking on Cat in a Flat, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
