PLEASE READ: Flexible availability for walks and drop-in visits Thursdays-Sundays. Please check with me for availability. Thank you! Can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! *** Hello pet parents! I’m Kat and I moved to Marion in June 2026, but I have years of experience with all types of animals. I am still getting familiar with the city, but I am eager to meet you and help you with your pets! I am a huge animal lover and I am so looking forward to getting to know your critters. Growing up I had dogs, cats, rabbits, rats, mice, hamsters, iguanas and frogs, so I’ve cared for all sorts of critters, but from the age of 5 I’ve always had a dog by my side. All my dogs have been large breeds and many have had health and/or behavioral issues, so I can handle a wide range of temperaments and dog behaviors. I’m also experienced with cats, rabbits, horses and a wide variety of rodents, reptiles and amphibians. I can even check on your bees too if you have them!

Safety, trust & environment
Your critters’ safety and wellbeing is my No. 1 priority. My dog Wilma had significant health and behavioral issues and I know how scary it can be to trust your fur baby's wellbeing to someone new. Dogs in my care are never left unattended and never walked without a leash. If there are foods or treats your pup can't eat, I want to know. If there are health or safety concerns, I want to talk to you about them. If your fur baby has dog aggression or behavioral issues, tell me about them. I guarantee, I can handle it all.
Ratings and reviews
I just wish she were available everywhere I go. Kat is so great with my boys and I just know she loves them like I do
Kat is always reliable and keeps good communication with us, and the pups just love her!
Kat is simply the best. Will 10/10 request her any time in Cedar Rapids with my puppies. I’ve never had any worries with her and she’s so communicative with me.
Kat did fantastic and even on a short notice. We will definitely have her back when we are in need!
My dogs just love Kat! She’s so good with them.♥️
Kat is very loving with my pups! Very kind and sweet and administered medication to our senior. Thank you!

Current Availability: Sundays-Thursdays . ALSO, I require a meet and greet prior to taking care of your pup - it’s safer for me a less stressful for your dog. I look forward to chatting and seeing how I can help with your critters!

- Please let me know if your dog has any behavioral, health issues or allergies. It is important that I know if your pup is social with other dogs or if there are foods they can't eat, or if there are symptoms or health issues i ned to watch out for.
