About Kate

Kia ora

I'm Kate and I would love the opportunity to take care of your pet(s)!

About me

I've lived in Wellington for 10 years and am originally from Auckland. I grew up with and around animals and now love taking care of our two Devon Rex cats - Cashew and Pinto.

I love all furry friends and have lots of experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds.

I work full time (Mon-Fri, 9-5) but have plenty of time on weekends and around work to take care of your pet(s) while your away.

My why

After our own experience looking for a pet sitter, I know it can be hard to find someone you trust to take care of your pet(s). My partner and I have had some amazing people look after our fur babies and I want to pay it forward.

I am confident I can provide great care, love and fun for your pet(s) and provide you with peace of mind. Feel free to look at my reviews!

Services

Home visits 30 min each: check in on your pets, feed them, clean up after them, give them some love, also happy to bring in mail, water gardens etc. Can be flexible on timing and length.

Dog walking 60 minutes: I love taking people's dogs for walks, I know of lots of dog friendly walking areas and can cater to your dogs specific needs (e.g. size, fitness, faviourite activites/places). Avilable mornings and evenings on weekdays, anytime on weekends.

Doggy daycare up to 3 hours: I will come to your house and take care of your dog. This service works well for anxious pets who don't like to be home alone. Longer periods can be negotiated.

I'm located in the CBD and usually service central suburbs out to the South Coast and Johnsonville. For houses that require longer driving distances additional cost may apply.

Photos

Pictured are our two cats Pinto (torte Devon Rex) and Cashew (black Devon Rex), and Monty (my family German Shepherd), Phoenix (family Beagle), Whiskey (brother's Long Haired Chihuahua), George (family Netherland Dwarf Rabbit).

Specific needs

Our cats are indoor cats and we are happy to cater to any pet specific needs and administer medication. I also have experience and am confident with larger dogs.

Let's meet?

I look forward to meeting you and your beloved pet(s) and will enjoy taking great care of them.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
