Pet care experience
Your pet's happiness and well-being are my top priorities! With more than 8 years of hands-on pet care experience, I make sure every dog and cat feels safe, loved, and understood. My journey in pet care started in 2017 at PetSmart's PetsHotel, followed by volunteer work at a rescue and fostering kittens. Since 2020, I've cared for over 100 pets through Rover and other platforms. I also have experience with pets who have anxiety or special needs and take continuing education courses to provide the best care possible. l'd love to meet you and your pet, message me to set up a meet & greet!

Reviews

Katey is the best! Our dogs are always in amazing hands with her. Have used her repeatedly for a few years for both drop ins and house stays.

I continue to be so pleased with Katey’s support as a sitter for my very senior cat, Clarabelle. She is compassionate and kind, very professional and has developed a great rapport with my cat. Katey is an outstanding sitter!!


This was our first experience, using a dog sitter and as such, we were quite nervous. Katey, so far exceeded our expectations in terms of kindness, caring, affection, dedication, and communication.! we couldn’t have asked for more. she already feels like a member of the family. We so look forward to using her again and again! And the house was absolutely immaculate when we came home, which is an added bonus!

Katey is always on time, super professional and a wonderful sitter for my very senior cat. I greatly appreciate that Katey spends quality time with ClaraBelle. Great job as always!
