Responsible, Caring EMT & Lifelong Pet Owner — Your Home & Pets Are in Safe Hands

About this sitter

I'm Kat, a licensed EMT and lifelong animal lover based in Vancouver, Washington. I'm looking for housesitting opportunities where I can provide reliable, trustworthy care for homes and pets in the Vancouver and Portland metro area.
I'm seeking sits where pets need attentive daily care, companionship, and routine. I'm comfortable with dogs and cats and enjoy the company of animals. I'm available for overnight stays with advance notice and weekends work well for my schedule. I treat every home I care for with the same respect I'd want shown to my own.

Why they want to house sit

I love animals and I genuinely enjoy the responsibility of caring for someone's home and pets while they travel. As an EMT I'm trained to stay calm, be reliable, and handle unexpected situations — qualities that translate directly into trustworthy housesitting. I also enjoy the opportunity to be in different home environments and give pet owners complete peace of mind while they're away. It's a role I take seriously and find genuinely rewarding.

Their experience

Yes. I have lifelong experience with animals including caring for two cats for 18 years and a family dog for 11 years. I have housesat for friends with dogs on multiple occasions and currently live with and help care for two dogs daily. Professionally I have over 15 years of experience in caregiving roles including work as a licensed EMT, Direct Support Professional, and early childhood educator — all requiring reliability, responsibility, and trustworthiness. I take the care of people's homes and animals very seriously.

What can they bring to the assignment

I bring reliability, calm, and genuine care to every assignment. As a licensed EMT with CPR and BLS certification I can handle unexpected situations with composure and good judgment — giving homeowners real peace of mind while they travel. I'm punctual, communicative, and treat every home I enter with complete respect. I have a lifelong connection with animals and understand that pets thrive on routine, attention, and consistency. I will maintain your home's normal rhythms, keep you updated, and ensure your pets feel safe and comfortable in your absence. You won't have to worry — that's what I'm there for.
