I'm Kathryn | Cat Sitting in San Diego, CA
Hi! With a name like Kathryn, I was destined to be a cat lover. My friends call me Kat or Kitty, and I am proud to say it’s because I am an unabashed cat person! My love for cats started with my first tuxedo kitten I named Bingo, a gift from my mom for my 5th birthday. Since then, our family has included more cats, dogs, fish, a pony, guinea pigs, and hamsters. We even lived next to a farm, where I learned to care for cows, pigs and chickens! I love all animals! As an adult, I have been a devoted cat mom to ten rescue cats in total, all having been raised in pairs or multiples and fortunate to have lived long, healthy lives! To me, cats are magical beings. I consider them better than therapy! Currently, I am a mom to two rescue cats, Fabio and Chabely. I have also been a volunteer with Friends of Cats (where Fabio chose me) and with the San Diego Humane Society; I even head a team for their annual Walk for Animals named Kitty's Litter. :) I moved to San Diego from the Midwest right after college. After 25+ years in event and hospitality management, the COVID pandemic led me to refocus my career to one that allows more attention towards things that matter most to me, like family time and supporting the animal community. Pets are cherished family members, and it’s a privilege to provide trusted care and love when called upon to help. * For holidays - or If you need a specific visitation schedule (for administering medication, for instance) - please message me first to confirm my availability at that time. (Even if my calendar appears limited, I will do my best to help!) * I strongl...





Kathryn's Reviews

James
Per usual, Kat was Amazing and Top Notch in her TLC to my senior cat Oscar. Kat has taken care of Oscar for quite a while now, and I so appreciate that she has history with him and knows his ways. Kat was very attentive to Oscar's care regime (twice daily medications and custom feeding plan) and she even made suggestions to enhance Oscar's well being. I continue to highly recommend Kat !!

Rachel
we had a last minute emergency and Kathryn was so kind and responsive! could not recommend enough!

James
Kat is the Cat's Meow !! She adores my Oscar and it shows in her diligent, loving attempts to get my senior cat to expand and explore his eating options. She's a master at giving him his twice daily meds. I was hesitant to go on my weekend trip due to some recent setbacks in Oscar's health, but my gut and heart knew that he'd be in the best of hands with Kat, and he was !! I highly recommend Kat !!

Kristina
Kathryn is a second mom to my cats at this point! She takes such good care of them and our home, too. We are truly lucky to have her!

Andre
Kathryn was an enthusiastic and passionate person. Felt very comfortable leaving Milo in her care and really appreciated her accommodating a late shift in our requested times.
