I am responsible and respectful of your space. I live an apartment so can not host at the moment. I will always send pictures and leave things as is!

Information Katharine J. would like to know about your pet

Any special behaviors, favorite toys or treats. If you pet has any medical needs, and who their vet and emergency contact is. Saftey and fun are my top priorities for your pet!

A typical day

I aim to make sure your pet is comfortable while you are away. Whether that be snuggles, playtime or going for a nice long walk, I’ll make it happen :)

From rescues to special need pets

Pet care experience

I have over 10 years of experience caring for cats and dogs with a variety of needs, especially elderly and those on medications. I used to manage a horse farm, and have been a lifelong equestrian. I have a service pup of my own, as well as a lovely ragdoll cat, and previously owned a rescue pittie! I am emergency first aid certified for small animals and was an ICU vet tech. Comfortable with all breeds.

Katie took wonderful care of our cat with medical needs. She went the extra mile to make sure our cat took her medication and was able to administer IV fluids as well. She was very responsive to messages and sent photos while we were gone. Very impressed with the quality of care!
