Pet care experience

I’ll love your pets like my own

About Me 🐾 I’ve been an animal lover and caring for dogs of all kinds since I was 16! Over the years, I’ve cared for pets belonging to family, friends, and colleagues, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and needs. As a registered nurse, I’m very dependable, attentive, and comfortable caring for pets who need a little extra TLC. I have experience administering medications, caring for senior pets, and working with animals with disabilities or special needs. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your fur babies, and I’ll treat them like they’re my own! I currently work Monday–Friday from 7 AM–3 PM, which gives me great availability for afternoon and evening visits, walks, and drop-ins, as well as weekends. I’m also very comfortable with crating, leash walking dogs of all sizes, and following specific routines or instructions. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I’m especially careful when entering and leaving homes to make sure curious pups don’t sneak out, and I’ll always keep you updated so you can feel confident knowing your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. ❤️🐶

Safety, trust & environment

I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes, allowing pets to stay comfortable in their own familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I follow all instructions provided for feeding, walks, medications, crating, and any special care your pet may need. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, senior pets, and pets with medical or special needs. I’m respectful of your home and treat it as if it were my own. I’m also very cautious when entering and leaving to make sure pets don’t slip out, and I’ll always make sure doors are secure before leaving. Most importantly, I want your pets to feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to provide updates and pictures during visits so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur babies are in good hands! 🐾❤️

Katey's done drop-ins to care for my two cats, Queenie and Forrest, multiple times and always does a great job! She makes sure to give them both attention, plays with Forrest to get his high kitten energy out, and makes sure to send me cute pictures of the two of them every-time. I love using Katey to watch my pets, and recommend her to anyone who's asking for a pet sitter!

Katey does an awesome jobs with our dogs. They are kinda of picky and she doesn’t seem to mind. She has been awesome with them! We have a Golden that was rescued and needs extra compassion and care. Katey doesn’t mind at all. We also have a very active Lab. She is great with both of them! I wouldn’t hesitate to use Katey if you need a dependable dog lover!
