About Kat
Hi I'm Kat! I have spent my entire life surrounded by animals. Growing up we always had tons of animals all at the same time including: dogs, cats, horses, chickens, guinea pigs, mice, goats, hamsters, ferrets, fish, turtles, and possums. I've helped deliver, feed and care for many of these animals from the age of babies into adulthood. I lo...
Hi I'm Kat! I have spent my entire life surrounded by animals. Growing up we always had tons of animals all at the same time including: dogs, cats, horses, chickens, guinea pigs, mice, goats, hamsters, ferrets, fish, turtles, and possums. I've helped deliver, feed and care for many of these animals from the age of babies into adulthood. I love how sweet and caring these beautiful creatures can be! I come from a really big family and have spent my life learning how to serve those in need and work with all kinds of people (and animals too!) which has brought me to travel the world while I teach English and life coach. To me this is living the dream! :)
Why I want to house sit
I've been pursuing my dream of traveling around the world since the start of 2017 and I've found that my favorite experience is connecting with the local people/pets and culture! The easiest way to do this is by housesitting. Sometimes when I'm traveling it gets lonely and petsitting gives me the love and companionship I need to enjoy it again while allowing me to really immerse in the beauty of the local culture! :)
My experience
I've spent years pet and housesitting, some of whom have been quite regular (multiple weeks per month). I've taken care of homes, deliveries and even been there to catch potential issues in the house (one which would have flooded the entire house had I not been there!). My philosophy is: always treat other's homes with even more respect than I do my own living space, so I always leave the place as clean and lovely as I received it...or better! I'm mature, responsible, reliable and resourceful, so you can trust that your furry little friends and home are in the best and most capable hands! :)

Communication with her was always easy and quick, prior and during her stay.
She arrived 2 days prior our leave and this was just perfect to allow her enough time to settle and to make herself comfortable with our 2 cats and the daily feeding procedure. It also allowed us to get to know Kat a little - she is a very friendly and interesting person with lots of travel stories to share.
Kat also has a hands-on attitude, whenever she sees an opportunity to help, she is there. I much appreciated that she already gave food to the cats while we were still around, but getting home late due to work. During her stay she managed that Vainilla (the female cat and rather picky eater) is eating enough and Caramelo (the male cat and too good eater) is not having too much – not an easy task, I know. Kat also made sure that Caramelo takes his daily medicine, she was patient with him and reliable.
She provided us with daily updates about how she and how the cats are doing, which gave us a good feeling while away.
When coming back, we found the house in perfect conditions – it was as clean (or even cleaner) as we left it.
For all of the above I highly recommend Kat to be your house and cat sitter.
And I thank you, Kat, for the sit and all the help and I wish you all the best for your future stays.- Organised

Kat took really good care of our two cats. We found them well fed (Lola even put up some weight) and relaxed. We also found the apartment more tidy than we left it. Kat is full of energy, easy going, responded fast from the very beginning and stayed in touch with us as much as we needed. She was very flexible and dealt well with our changing plans. And very tough - she was even able to endure our crying baby !
