Safety, trust & environment

I provide attentive, reliable care for pets in the comfort of their own home. I understand how important it is for animals to stay in their familiar environment and maintain their usual routine while you’re away. During drop-in visits, I can let your dog out for bathroom breaks, provide fresh food and water, administer oral medications if needed, and ensure they get appropriate exercise and playtime. I’m also comfortable crating dogs when required and following any specific household or training routines you have in place. For cats and other pets, I handle litter box cleaning, feeding and companionship tailored to their personality and comfort level. I always aim to leave your home just as I found it and will send detailed updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

Pet care experience

I’ve been an animal lover all my life❤️ I have been catsitting and dog walking since I was around 13 years old! I bring a calm, attentive, and nurturing presence to every pet I care for. I have experience caring for both energetic young pets who need structure and consistency, as well as senior pets who benefit from a gentler pace and close monitoring. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering oral medications if needed (I have 3 cats and 2 of them require medications themselves so I already do this daily!) and maintaining routines so your pet feels safe and secure while you’re away. I’ll keep you updated with thoughtful check-ins, photos, and honest updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in capable hands.

Thank you Katie for taking care of my furbabies and sending me cute pics throughout the day. It really put me at ease since this was the first time leaving them home and not having a family member check in. Thanks again! 🖤💜🖤

Katie has been taking care of my dogs when needed for a while and I couldn’t ask for a more dependable person. She is an animal lover, communicative, kind, reliable and knows how to deal with the temperaments and personalities of our beloved pets. She has taken my dogs on walks and has gotten them the exercise they need. Katie has made me feel very comfortable when I’ve left my dogs in her care.
