Pet care experience

Simple First Aid Certified Pet Care

Hello my name is Katherine - I go by Katy I’ve been privately pet sitting on and off for almost two decades. I am currently taking a break from my career and have plenty of time on my hands to do what I love, which is care for animals I enjoy walking small dogs, big dogs, strong pullers, slow walkers, avid sniffers, all of them. I am certified by the Red Cross in Adult & Child/Infant CPR and Cat and Dog First Aid and am confident I could provide care to a pet in critical condition while remaining calm if needed. I have a bachelors degree in teaching and learning from U of H. I know that doesn’t matter here for the cats and dogs — just worth mentioning. My rates are open to discussion let’s book a walk or a drop in visit; I look forward to hearing from you! *rates change SEASONALLY*

Katie was amazing with our baby, no issues at all with communications and we felt at ease while being away with the regular updates and pictures! Our cat is very sweet, but particular about some things hehe, and Katie made her feel calm and safe. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for someone kind and responsible with your pet and home (:

Katie was fantastic! She was so kind and attentive to our cats, was very conscientious about cleaning the litter box and giving them fresh water. From all the photos she sent us, it was clear the cats enjoyed her company. We will definitely ask for Katie again and will recommend her to our friends and family.

Katy did an amazing job taking care of my dog and cat! She is incredibly attentive, compassionate, and genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. She took the time to understand each of their needs and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for while I was away. I also really appreciated how accommodating and flexible she was with her schedule. She was reliable, communicative, and gave me complete peace of mind knowing my pets were in such caring hands. I highly recommend Katy to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated pet sitter, and I will definitely be using her again!

Katherine is a former science teacher and a life-long pet owner. She is great with cats, dogs, guinea pigs, and birds. She is responsible, compassionate, and a dependable communicator. I trust her implicitly with my fur babies. I know they will receive the best care when I’m away from home.
