Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work a full-time job with a flexible schedule, including a few work-from-home days each week, which allows me to provide reliable care and plenty of attention. Outside of work, I enjoy staying active, so walks, playtime, and spending time with dogs are something I genuinely look forward to. I plan my schedule carefully to make sure every pet receives the care, exercise, and affection they deserve while their owner is away.

About Katherine E.

Safety, trust & environment

If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with the same respect and care I would my own. I’ll also provide regular photo and video updates, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

Information Katherine E. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, I’d love to know about their routine, personality, and any special needs. Things like feeding schedule, medications, favorite toys, walking habits, commands they know, and anything that makes them anxious or uncomfortable are all helpful. I also like to know what they love most, so I can help them feel comfortable, happy, and at home while you’re away!

A typical day

Every pet has their own personality, so I love tailoring activities to what they enjoy! We’ll go on walks, play fetch or tug-of-war, work on simple tricks for mental stimulation, enjoy plenty of cuddle time, and yes… we’ll probably have a little dance party too! Whether your pet is full of energy or prefers a slower pace, my goal is to make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away.

Pet care experience

What sets me apart is the level of care and communication I provide. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else because I’ve cared for my own dog for the past 12 years. I follow their routine closely, and provide regular photo and video updates so you always know how they’re doing. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.

Katy is a lovely and caring person, who is incredibly timely and reliable. She is fun loving and a bright spot to be around, but always takes note of those around her, and I believe that would be reflected in her interactions with pets as well.

Katie has a lot of love and compassion when it comes to taking care of pets. She has helped me watch my dog multiple times and she is always sending me updates so I am in the loop and can feel reassured. I have never been worried when Katie is helping me dog sit

Katie is great with pets! She has a lot of experiencing caretaking for dogs especially. My cat likes her and I think that is a good sign that she is trustworthy.

Katie was wonderful with my dogs! She was friendly, reliable, and clearly loves animals. My dogs absolutely adore her and get so excited every time they see her—they truly look forward to her visits. It gives me peace of mind knowing they’re in such caring and capable hands. I highly recommend Katie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!
