Kate Z.— In-Home Pet Sitter

Professional & Experienced

"I love that cats are independent yet affectionate. They make wonderful companions and conversationalists, and with them around, you never feel lonely."

About Kate Z.

I’m Kate, a lifelong cat enthusiast who can’t picture a home without whiskers and paws. I’ve had cats all my life and currently care for two rescues: Zuzya, an 11-year-old gray-and-white wise soul, and George, a curious 3-year-old black cat. All of my pets have been adopted from shelters or rescued from the street—because I believe every animal deserves a loving home. I have experience caring for my own cats as well as friends’ pets while they’re away. I enjoy following detailed instructions and routines carefully, and I’m organized, responsible, and respectful of boundaries—traits cats tend to appreciate. I’m comfortable with shy or cautious cats, always moving at their pace and giving them the space they need to feel safe. I’m also great with active, playful cats and happy to spend time engaging them in games. I’m happy to handle feeding, litter box maintenance, administering oral medications, playtime, and quiet companionship. As a book production specialist at a university press, I’m detail-oriented, dependable, and excellent at following instructions. My goal is for you to return to a calm, happy cat who feels loved—and just a little spoiled.

What Clients Say About Kate Z.

"Katerina was watching our 2 cats when we were out of town on several occasions. She was outstanding! She communicated about well being of our cats, provided them with fresh food and water, cleaned litter box, and played with them. Katerina is intelligent, responsible and trustworthy person. She made sure everything was the way we wanted it in the house. She made us feel that our cats and the house were well taken care of and we felt like we can rely on her. Definitely recommend her!"

"Kate is an excellent cat sitter! She is incredibly professional, caring, and responsible. She followed all feeding and care instructions perfectly. She spent quality time playing with my kitties and making sure they felt loved. I received daily updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I returned home to happy, relaxed cats, and I couldn't be more grateful for the care she provided. It is such a relief knowing my furry babies and my home are in such capable hands. I highly recommend her to any cat owner!"
