Paw-fect Companion Katie😸

Pet care experience

Hello there!😸 I have an announcement! I wanted to extend a happy new year from my home to yours 🥳🐾 In the spirit of the holidays, I will be continuing pet services outside of Rover and wanted to offer a new way to book with me through my website for all your travel needs this year! You can activate your new profile and add pet information once you follow the prompts anytime before your next service request! Going forward if you have any questions please feel free to message me through the new booking system or my email!🐾 https:// www.pawfecttravelswithkatie. com/book About: I’ve loved caring for animals since before I can remember! What sets me apart is my passionate ability to know exactly what each pet needs in my care through my animal-handling experience . Over ten years of animal care can attest to that plus having a knowledgeable background in grooming dogs and cats of all breeds makes me shine brighter! I do also have experience in caring for small animals like rabbits, reptiles, birds, and everything in between! I have never not cared for dogs and cats in my own household as well. Belle, Giddeon, Kit, Aruna, and Optimus are currently my pride and joy. I have met some great pet parents who own some of the most cutest pets and have known some of the sweetest strays but I have to say that I sure wouldn’t trade my babies for the world! Currently I am working from home full time as a Rover Sitter so I am able to be flexible. For potty time I have an enclosed deck space with a potty station that is cleaned after every use and the yard that I have is only accessible with a tiedown-dog run for supervised zoomies! My home is open to family who frequent quite often and they love animals as well! I do have to make sure that my schedule accommodates my husband‘s because he works from home as well. I don't change up your care routine! Please be as thorough as possible with anything I would need to know to help enhance the pet’s experience!

Katelyn is by far and away the most sensitive, attentive, and knowledgeable pet sitter we have ever encountered. She has been a great match for our high strung and high energy Chocolate Lab who is always much calmer after her stays with Katelyn.

Did a wonderful job with our kitties. Great communication and responsible. The cats were super happy when we returned. Would not hesitate to recommend or hire again. Thanks Katelyn!

Katelyn takes great care of my pups! My husky mix is a little sensitive, but Katelyn is patient and ends up getting along very well with him. Highly recommend and will definitely come back :)

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and security is my number one concern regarding services I offer so I am very thorough in knowing what to do an emergency situation’s! Making sure there’s coverage on all fronts is paramount especially if it ever comes down to a pet needing to be taken to an emergency room. I do have business insurance for whatever may or may not end up happening while pet is in my care, but I also want to mentioned that there are some pre-existing conditions that may or may not be covered even if Something happens under my care. It is for this reason that I encourage clients to have a savings for any case of an emergency regarding their pet!

Information Katelyn G. would like to know about your pet

I need honesty from pet owners. I don't have any breed specific preferences but for those who’d like to board their pets and for Day Care within my home, your pet must be level-headed around cats; preferably having had grown up with cats. This is especially difficult for dogs that are still intact because they have difficulty self-regulating and can become obsessed. For marking issues, I will diaper your pet. I also do require current parasite treatment like flea/tick medication.

A typical day

Kirkland is home to many nature trails surrounding the city but my favorite place to venture through is Downtown Bellevue Park! The greenery all around is spacious enough to socialize, play fun games like fetch, and find a routine walk that works for your pet!
