“Katie is excellent! She clearly cares about animals and is very knowledgeable about their care. She even alerted me to suspicious activity in my neighborhood, cleaned up an accident, and made sure to check on all 4 of my kitties, including the boy who constantly hides and runs from people. I appreciate her help so much and would recommend her to anyone!!!! Thank you Katie for caring for my babies as if they were yours!!!”

Not only did she take great care of them but she also played with them, gave us updates on how they each were doing and their general health, and even noticed some non-pet related issues at the home and offered to help fix while we were out of town. Very responsive and professional, highly recommend!”

About: +15 years caring / sitting dogs and cats Sat multi animal homes including 3-4 dogs and 6-7 cats. Sometimes I feel I’d qualify to work at a literal zoo. High energy and punctual - prepared to walk / play as long as your dog needs. Administered medicines including pills, powders, creams, ear/ mouth injections, to a range of animals (young-senior). Patients range from very grumpy cats to unenthused dogs. Cared for several animals and administered medicines as needed. Ranging from retired greyhounds who have trouble walking to elderly bulldogs who may need a helpful roll to get up. I am a full time artist so I have a very flexible work schedule. I work from home so I can schedule drop ins and walks on short notice and with limited interruption. I have a reliable vehicle to get me to and from visits. I’ll provide unobtrusive and reliable pet care in your home. I am neat, don’t rush, and I pay attention to detail. I am door locking stickler and a double checker. I’ll stick to the script and let you know if there are any regularities.
