Trusted presence for your peace of mind Dependable high-standard care

About this sitter

A pleasure to meet you! I’m Kate—here to offer a trusted presence in your home so you can truly enjoy your time away. I approach each sit with the intention of creating ease for homeowners: caring for pets with genuine affection, honoring established routines, and maintaining a well-kept environment you’ll be happy to return to.

My experience includes 10+ years supporting families and caring for homes across a variety of settings, from downtown apartments to country estates. I bring a thoughtful blend of attentiveness, calm confidence, and practical capability. Animals tend to feel at ease around me, and I take the time to understand their unique personalities and rhythms so they feel secure and comfortable.

You can also rely on me as someone who is confident and composed in refined homes where discretion, awareness, and professionalism are essential. Properties with elevated standards or specialized systems are managed with respect and precision. When coordination with housekeepers, landscapers, or maintenance professionals is required, I communicate courteously and support smooth, cooperative relationships that help your household run seamlessly during your absence.

Beyond pet and home care, I’m passionate about nature, hiking, gardening, yoga, and reading. I appreciate serene environments, clear communication, and the responsibility that comes with being entrusted with someone’s home and beloved animals.

Whether it’s keeping plants flourishing, offering warm companionship to pets, or ensuring your property stays tidy, my aim is to provide reliable, conscientious support so you can travel with complete peace of mind.

Why they want to house sit

House and pet sitting is a natural extension of the way I show up in daily life—attentive, responsible, and committed to maintaining calm, orderly spaces. I take pride in providing a service that supports homeowners by keeping their home secure and well looked after while they’re away, giving them the freedom to travel without unnecessary stress.

Spending time with animals is a meaningful part of this work. I appreciate the companionship they offer, whether it’s a dog who enjoys daily walks or a cat who curls up for quiet company. Adhering to their familiar routines and keeping their environment comforting is something I take seriously.

I gravitate toward longer-term sits because they allow me to establish deeper bonds, maintain continuity, and provide valuable oversight while owners are away. The pets tend to settle naturally as a steady rhythm develops. I find that this creates a smoother experience for everyone involved.

House sitting also aligns with the way I prefer to live—intentional, balanced, and centered around environments that are peaceful and well-maintained. I value spaces that reflect the same consideration I bring, and I aim to leave every home in excellent condition.

My goal is to offer prompt and clear communication, dependable follow-through, and a sense of assurance—so homeowners return to a home that feels just as they left it.
