About Kate

Hi! I'm Kate, I'm 22 and am a student midwife at Victoria University!

I have always loved animals and have always had them around me. I grew up in the small South Island town of Ashburton and I was always surrounded by pets. Moving to Wellington has been hard being away from them, hence why I thought pet sitting would be perfect for me! I love being around all kinds of animals, they are the best company.

I started pet sitting in high school, my employer at the time had several rescue animals that needed caring for while they were away. I would care for them anywhere from a weekend to a week. They had two animals who needed special care, a cat who had diabetes and a dog who had severe seperation anxiety- so I am well equipped to care for pets who need a little extra care.  

I can offer a range of pet services, walks (as a university student I have a lot of free slots during the day), drop ins and petsitting. I am very reliable and responsible so know your pets will be in great hands with me! As an extra bonus, one of my closest friends is a vet nurse so she can be on hand if your pet has any medical issues you feel need extra attention.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Kateis a reliable cat sitter.

For my old cat, she chpopped the wet food into small pieces and gave it to him in small portions.

She also kept the toilet clean.

I would like to ask her again if I have next chance.

Kate was kind and cared really well for our cats and our home. She maintained regular comms with me. Both cats were happy when we arrived home. I recommend Kate and would definitely use her again.
