18 years exp. caring for pets!

Pet care experience

I’m a Midwestern raised, salt of the earth, grown up farm kid who has 18+ years experience caring for livestock from dogs, cats, poultry, cattle, goats and hogs! I participated in 4-H for 10 years, so I have a deep understanding of animal behavior and skills required to care for all pet temperaments. I have ample experience with senior pet care, as well as special needs pet care, to include proper chemo pill handling/administration. My apartment complex has two large dog parks. I know the secret times it’s empty if your pup prefers alone time (I get it) or if they prefer playtime with other borkers- I know the time and place!

Best cat sitter in Stafford. My cat loves Katie and he always comes home happy and readjusts immediately.

Awesome service. My cat Charles is very well cared for with Katie. He always comes home happy like he never left. And she keeps you updated the whole time. Highly recommend.

We asked Kaitie to care for our dogs before when we were away. She was great with communication and the dogs, so now that we are needing drop-ins, we asked for her help. Today was the first drop-in and all was great- Kaitie communicates well and takes good care of the dogs. I think they are in good hands with Kaitie and I plan to work with her again!

Took absolute wonderful care of my cat Charles. Took him on short notice and kept me updated the entire time. He's a picky cat too. And he did wonderful at her home and is his normal self since being back home. I would definitely recommend and will definitely use her services in the future.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a small fenced in outdoor space with an 8 foot tall fence to keep the critters safe, while enjoying a luxurious morning sun bath. There are plenty of nature trails in the area if your pets are happy outdoorsy boys! I have a spare bedroom with an XL crate available with dividers available for smaller pups if you would like to crate your dog at night while boarded at my home. Everyone is allowed on the furniture- we love love here! I also have one fixed female house cat, very chill- her name is Willy. She gets along well with other dogs/cats. If your pet isn’t cool with cats, I can always gate her off for the duration of your pets stay for optimal comfort. We are here to accommodate our furry guests by offering amenities to include belly rubs, butt pats, lots of pets, affirming they are the best boys, cuddling, lots play time, lots of potty breaks, optimal respect and care ❤️
