Pet care experience

Love for all furry beings

I provide loving & attentive customized care for your fur babies in and around University Heights, North Park, South Park, Hillcrest, Bankers Hill, Mission Hills, Midtown, Downtown, Golden Hill, Point Loma, Ocean Beach, Mission Beach, and surrounding areas. I absolutely love to be around animals & to have the opportunity to care for them brings me so much joy. Dogs hold a special place in my heart. When I was seven years old my family adopted a Springer Spaniel puppy named Morgan that quickly became my best friend and long time companion. Learning how moving & important the connection with a dog like Morgan could be, and learning how to care for a furry being that I loved so much was one of my favorite experiences in my upbringing. Since then, Morgan has passed, but my love for animals has only grown. I very much enjoy hanging with and caring for my client's dogs - as if they were my own. I also love cats very much and have had amazing connections with my own cats in the past, so I would be overjoyed to meet and spend time with your precious purrball! I love to meet new dogs & cats, and I tend to take a slow and gentle approach so they can get used to me at their own pace. I'm grateful that most animals tend to warm up to me quickly. I like to keep a fun, playful & positive attitude while caring for my client's pets, and will adjust my vibe depending on each pet's needs and preferences. Aside from in-house pet sitting I am available for drop in visits and daily walks if you live locally to me. I adore taking pet portraits! Please see my photos for some examples of my animal photography. :) Just a note that I prefer to take care of dogs under 65 lbs at this point, thanks for understanding! I have a pup of my own, Chispita, who I co-parent with my good friend - she primarily stays with him so she will not be with me when I'm taking care of your pup(s), (or cat(s)), but she may occasionally join us for a dog walk if consent is given and if your dog gets along well with other pups. I look forward to meeting and spending some time with your dog or cat!

Katie was great! Our cat was so happy to have Katie visit her when we went on vacation. Katie was prompt and communicated well. Looking forward to booking again soon!

This was our first time using Kaitie and she was the best! Always communicated, was on time when she said she'd be, sent lots of pictures and most importantly kept great care of our cats! We will definitly be asking Kaitie to help with more cat care needs!

Kaitie was wonderful! She kept our puppy entertained with lots of activities while we were away for the weekend, which is no easy feat with how energetic he is. She sent frequent updates and made us feel at ease the entire time we were gone. We highly recommend!

During the week I walk a few dogs each day mid-day. Aside from that I work from home for the most part and have a flexible schedule, so while I'm with your pet, their happiness & comfort will be the main focus.

Kaitie can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
I would like to know about special instructions you may have in regards to your dog or cat's care, as well as any quirks and behaviors, and allergies they may have. I love all animals, and do not have a favorite breed.
