<h2>PROUDLY SERVING SOUTHERN BERKSHIRE COUNTY, MA FOR OVER 25 YEARS!</h2> Aunt Kat’s Pet Care is currently providing limited pet care services to former Berkshire Pet Pals, LLC clients only. Unfortunately, I am not accepting new pet care clients at this time due to health-related limitations. I am currently evaluating what the future of Aunt Kat’s Pet Care may look like, including the possibility of rebuilding and expanding into something new. No decisions have been made regarding the future availability or expansion of pet care services. I will use this site to keep everyone apprised of my plans as they unfold. This website is being maintained as a resource for former Berkshire Pet Pals, LLC clients, as well as pet parents throughout Berkshire County, and will remain active until further notice. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued support. In the meantime, I invite you to explore the pet care articles, helpful tips, and community resources available throughout the site. From my Ask Aunt Kat pet care blog to my Crafty Kat Designs creations, I hope you find something useful, interesting, or simply fun! Nanny’s Naturals may even make a comeback later this fall. If you have a question or concern, or would simply like to discuss a pet or pet care issue, please feel free to reach out. I am always happy to help in any way that I can. This website is a work in progress, so please bear with me as I continue to organize, update, and add new content. Honest feedback, ideas, suggestions, and recommendations are always welcome and appreciated. Thank you for your ongoing support and encouragement as I navigate this new chapter of my life and thank you for being part of it. It truly means a great deal to me. Sincerely,<h2>Aunt Kat</h2>

Pet Care Services

I will provide food and fresh water as per your instructions to ensure that your pets receive the proper dietary requirements for a healthy lifestyle.

Feeding/Watering

I will provide plenty of indoor playtime, light exercise, and/or cuddle sessions as your pets desire. Enrichment activities help to keep your pets active, healthy, and safe. May also include brushing/combing or just sitting quietly with your pets. Based on what your pets like and need.

Indoor Playtime/Cuddle Sessions

A clean litterbox means a happy pet! Accidents can and do happen, so light clean-ups are provided at also provided as needed. This service can be provided as a standalone visit to help busy pet parents, pregnant moms, the elderly, and/or recovering clients who need an extra hand taking care of routine maintenance.

Litterbox Maintenance/Light Clean-Up

If your pets have a secure outside area, I can provide let-outs with light outdoor exercise, if so desired. This time can be used for potty breaks, playtime/light exercise, or just chilling in the sun. Customized for your pets.

Let-Outs/Outdoor Exercise

Every pet is different and has different needs. Whether you want specific treats and supplements to be given or if your pet has prescribed medications and treatments. As an experienced pet care provider, I can assure you that your pet will receive the care and attention needed.

Treats/Medication

A special customized service that may include assistance and transportation to and from vet/groomer appointments, shopping and pick-up for pet supplies/medications, litter box maintenance or just additional TLC. These services are billed by the amount of time required(in 30-minute increments ONLY) to complete each. You decide!

<h2>LYFT &amp; ASSIST</h2>

If you work all day and your pet needs to get out and get some exercise, I can help! Maybe you need to be out of town for the day and want to make sure that your pet is comfortable, safe, and cared for. Whether it is a one-time visit or regular daily visits, I am here to help. All visits are tailored to your pet's needs and based on age, activity level, and health.

<h2>Mid-Day Dog Walks/Exercise</h2>

If your pet needs a longer walk or hike, I am happy to provide that. All outings are done one-on-one to comply with the local leash laws. Exceptions may be made with approval on private property, enclosed areas, public dog-friendly parks and recreation areas, etc. Safety is of the utmost importance to ensure a pleasant experience.

<h2>Extended Dog Walks/Hiking</h2>

The forms can be viewed and/or downloaded from the FORMS page. They can be completed digitally or manually, as you prefer. Once this is done, you can either return them to me via PDF attachments through e-mail or provide the hard copies at the initial Meet-and-Greet visit. This helps to streamline the process for all. 2.) CONTACT ME to schedule to informal Meet-and-Greet visit to be done at your home. After you have completed the required forms, you can contact me to schedule the initial home visit. This visit is required before I can schedule any services. It is a chance for us to get to know each other, ask questions/address concerns, tour the home and all areas that I will need access to, meet your pets, and to create a custom care plan that will be used to care for your pets. If you plan to schedule services soon, it is recommended that you provide the key/code necessary to access the home at this time.

As much as I love my computer and smart phone, sometimes messages can get lost or directed to the wrong address, etc. I cannot be held responsible for any technical issues that may happen. PLEASE NOTE: All visits are scheduled by TIME FRAME and NOT BY TIME. This is simply due to the fact that I spend a lot of time on the road traveling from one visit to the next and there are a lot of variables that can affect my schedule. 4.) Payment.

After a few decades of serving fellow pet parents and animal lovers, I have decided to offer some of the same products that we have tried, use, and LOVE! Those who know me, know that I have a passion for animals and nutrition. I have counseled many clients regarding pet diets, supplements, treats, and healthy activities &amp; enrichment exercises. As a former Pet Tech Instructor, I have also taught first-aid, pet care education, and numerous pet-related workshops. In addition to offering some of the best pet products available, we are also offering some of our exclusive items. These are the same apparel, recipes, and merchandise that we wear, use, and recommend. We can save on SHIPPING COSTS if you would like to pick up at our home base. If you are a client, we can deliver items at our next visit. Otherwise, we ship via USPS priority flat rate and the cost is set by the United States Postal Service. There are no additional handling/packaging fees. The current rates are listed below: Tyvex Envelope(for ONE shirt): $9.55Small Flat Rate: $9.30* MOST POPULAR! Medium Flat Rate(for up to 2 sweatshirts or 4 t-shirts): $16.65Large Flat Rate: $23.95 PLEASE NOTE: Additional colors and sizes are available by SPECIAL ORDER. ***This is just a place holder until I can get a Shopify site set up! The products are available, but will be organized and easier to navigate when I have the new site set up! ***

A very special offering for the Aunt Kat's Pet Care (and former Berkshire Pet Pals) friends and family! Crafty Kat Designs started as a HOBBY many years ago, but I never had the time to devote to it. After my cancer/chemo in 2024, I was left with chemo-induced peripheral neuropathy which caused numbness/tingling, muscle spasms and loss of dexterity in my hands and feet. In addition, the foot drop made walking/hiking challenging, too. Even after occupational and physical therapy, I require the use of AFO's to ambulate safely. As a result, I had to close Berkshire Pet Pals, LLC to focus on healing and rehab. I have since found that the knitting/crocheting and assembling of my hanging gnomes helps to alleviate some of the symptoms and served as physical/occupational/emotional therapy all in one! Thus, The Gnome Project was born! To learn more about this project, please visit The Gnome Project page. A heartfelt THANK YOU goes out to all of you who have supported me through this journey! Much love and gratitude,Kathy (A/K/A "Aunt Kat")

The Lucky Gnome Project is a very special project that created while I was undergoing my cancer/chemo treatment. The chemotherapy left me with permanent nerve damage/CIPN(chemo-induced peripheral neuropathy) in my hands as well as foot drop in both feet among other side effects.&nbsp; The numbness, tingling, cramping/spasms and reduced dexterity in my hands has made a lot of simple daily tasks extremely difficult.&nbsp; Knitting/crocheting and assembling these gnomes has become part of my healing journey.&nbsp;It helps me to build strength and dexterity while reducing the severity of the symptoms.&nbsp;What started as a hobby has become a form of occupational/physical/emotional therapy all in one. European legend says that the gnomes protect and bring prosperity, luck and good health to the people and homes they watch over. My signature is the daisy which represents hope, happiness and love. Together they will bring the best of luck, health, happiness and love to you, your family, and your home. So, if any of my gnomes appeal to you and bring a smile, then please feel free to take it home. By the same token, if you know of someone who needs a little luck and happiness, please SHARE. There are no strings and no obligations. If you would like to pay it forward and make a donation so that I can continue to bring smiles, it would be truly appreciated. Every little bit helps and makes it possible for me to continue on this journey. It is my way of giving back to the community. Thank you for your ongoing support and encouragement.
