About Kate
My husband and I are both long-time animal lovers, registered wildlife carers and experienced pet sitters. I have over 6 years of pet sitting experience and my husband is a former veterinary nurse. He also worked for 12 years at a local pet shop, where animal care was a main requirement. We love caring for and looking after animals, and also strongly believe that animals are happiest when they get to stay in their own homes while their owners are away.

I began my pet-sitting experience in 2009 in San Diego, California where I was routinely hired to pet sit dogs, cats and rabbits while owners were on vacation and to dog walk for a few elderly owners who were unable to exercise their dogs. Since 2012, I have continued my pet-sitting services here in Launceston. I have also expanded my animal-caring efforts by becoming a registered wildlife carer.

My family and I take animal care very seriously and strive to treat all animals with loving care. Currently, we reside with a cat, rabbit and small flock of chickens. :)

Kate is an amazing pet sitter. She has gone above and beyond to ensure that our beloved cat was so happy and healthy in our absence. I would highly recommend Kate to anyone.

I can't recommend Kate highly enough. I booked her at short notice and she made it all so easy with her helpful and friendly enthusiasm to ensure that Minou's needs would be taken care of , and I could go away with complete peace of mind.
