Highlights
Pet care experience
Qualified care for all pets!
I am an Animal Sciences major and have trained 3+ service dog puppies (8wks-22mos) with an accredited organization, owned dogs my whole life, babysat neighbor's cats since I was 9, and worked with a large variety of animals of all sizes in general. Those that I have previously pet-sit for have asked me back countless times as they trust me to be responsible and loving to their pets.

Safety, trust & environment
I treat all pets with respect and love. I require meeting before I take care of your pet so that I can get a full run through of exactly what you need me to do and can give your pet the best care. I will prioritize comfort with your pet by following their routine to the best of my ability. I am adept at identifying signs of stress or discomfort in any situation, and I never push boundaries or put the animal in situations that would make the animal uncomfortable. I always keep pet's spaces clean and have experience cleaning up a variety of messes when necessary.
Ratings and reviews
Katie has been a responsible and responsive caretaker for our cats on multiple occasions, and we have felt very fortunate to have been able to use her when we've been out of town. Katie visited twice a day to ensure the cats were well cared for and had attention and love. In addition to feeding and playing with our cats and cleaning their litter box, Katie has helped out with plant watering and bringing in the mail. We always return to find happy cats and the house looked after. Katie is knowledgable and experienced with animals, which is reflected in her care for our pets.
Katharine (Katie) volunteered with me as a Puppy Raiser for The Guide Dog Foundation. Together we raised and trained 3 dogs for GDF. She attended classes, went on vet visits, and helped me care for them when they had physical issues. She learned a lot through the program and it has inspired her (along with her work with a therapeutic riding center) to pursue a career in animal studies. She’s kind, knowledgeable, and very responsible.
Katie is a fantastic animal caregiver, for all kinds of animals. She is very reliable and trustworthy and very experienced with the care of domestic (and exotic) animals. Katie has trained service dogs, provided short term care for cats, taken care of many dogs and always gravitates to the pets at parties. I'd trust her with anything.
Katharine was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of my cat while I was away, and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. My cat can be a little shy at first, but she clearly felt comfortable and well cared for. I came home to a happy, relaxed kitty and everything in perfect order. I would highly recommend Katherine to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful sitter—I’ll definitely be booking again!
