Kat has spent her life surrounded by animals, earning a reputation as an “Animal Whisperer” for her remarkable ability to connect with even the shyest pets. Her deep understanding of animal body language allows her to provide compassionate, tailored care for every furry, feathered, and scaled companion she meets.
In 2013, Kat founded Kat and Dogs Ohio, building a trusted reputation for professional cat sitting and weekday dog walking services, including care for pets with special needs. In 2021, she became the only Fear Free Certified Pet Sitter in Willoughby, Ohio — setting a new standard for stress-free pet sitting in the region.
When she’s not caring for clients’ pets, Kat enjoys hiking, supporting local small businesses, and spending time with her family. She and her husband share their Willoughby home with their two beloved cats, Carly (pictured) and Archie.
