Highlights
Pet care experience
Fun-Loving Petsitter
Growing up in the heart of the Midwest, my life has been an extraordinary journey woven with the love and care of countless pets. From the loyal companionship of dogs and the soothing purrs of cats to the curious antics of birds, rabbits, reptiles, and even farm animals, I have raised nearly every pet you can imagine. Nurturing these animals has been more than just a hobby—it's been a calling. I find an unmatched sense of connection and fulfillment in their presence, often feeling closer to animals than to people. Their trust, unique personalities, and unconditional affection inspire me daily. My passion for raising, nurturing, and spending time with animals isn’t just a part of who I am; it’s my life’s purpose. I dream of transforming this deep-seated love into my main source of income, building a career that allows me to dedicate all my time and energy to the creatures that bring me the greatest joy.

Safety, trust & environment
A typical dog-sitting day with me is filled with love, attention, and plenty of fun. I make sure every pup feels safe and cared for, with lots of playtime, walks, and one-on-one affection. Whether it’s going for a walk, playing fetch, or just enjoying cuddle time, your dog will be treated like family while you’re away. 🐾💜
Ratings and reviews
Katy was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we met, it was clear how caring, responsible, and experienced she is. We came home to happy, relaxed fur babies and felt completely at ease knowing our dog and cat were in such good hands. Communication was good throughout, with updates and photos that gave us peace of mind. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind to care for their pets! 🐾
Katie was the absolute best! Our dogs loved her and so do we. She is kind, caring, efficient and detailed oriented. She went above and beyond to be sure our dogs good all the care, love and attention they needed. She also did everything in her power to be sure we were informed and comfortable about leaving them with her. We will try to use her tender loving and proficient services as long as she offers them. We would recommend Katie to anyone leaving their pets. She is amazing!
Katie is the perfect sitter! Our senior dog, who requires being harnessed and carried up and down the stairs 3 times a day, was very well taken care of. Katie is very skilled, patient, and professional. Our dog and cat love her and we highly recommend anyone use her services. She also did a wonderful job housesitting, everything looked immaculate upon return!
Wow! What an amazing experience!!! Katie took amazing care of our elderly dog who needs to be carried up and down lots of stairs with a harness and doesn't get along with everyone. She provided patient and loving care with frequent updates. We will definitely be using her services again and highly recommend her to everyone.
Katie watched our older English bulldog and new one year old Labrador Retriever rescue. It was a last minute booking and Katie accommodated a meet & greet and had good communication throughout the stay. She arrived promptly at the agreed upon time, followed the directions we provided, and asked questions as needed. She was also forgiving of our Dennis the Mennis rescue who hasn’t completed training yet.
Katie has taken care of my pups a handful of times and she is always respectful of my home. She’s popped in to check on the dogs, done overnight visits, and even stayed 2 weeks once while we were on a longer trip! The dogs love her and I know I have nothing to worry about when she stays to care for my babies. 10/10 recommend for your sitter needs!
