Pet care experience
Your pets are on vaca too! ⛱️
Hello! My name is Katie, and I am a highly educated, experienced caretaker of all types of animals. If it walks on four legs, more than likely I've taken care of them at some point haha! My journey with animals began when I was just 8 years old. Now at 23, my home is filled with love thanks to my wonderful pets: Elita, my loyal five-year-old German Shepherd 🐕, and Bumblebee, my overly adorable six-year-old calico cat🐈. I attended Auburn University (before I transferred to a cheaper school), where I majored in Animal Science and was an active member of the equestrian team (hunt seat). I was also a member of their Eventing team! My passion for animals isn't just limited to my own pets; I've dedicated countless hours to understanding and caring for them. I interned under many eventers, worked under several veterinarians, and gained many years of invaluable experience. I have lived in California, Colorado, Wisconsin, Florida, Alabama and Georgia, and each state I lived in gave me more and more experience with many different kinds of animals. Beyond my technical training, I have volunteered at a service dog training non-profit, which gave me a unique perspective on the incredible bond between animals and humans. My time working at numerous animal shelters has further fueled my dedication to providing the best care for all creatures. I also have a special fondness for birds, especially macaws (coolest birds I have ever been around for sure).

Safety, trust & environment
I currently live in a very peaceful house with my dog and cat. My house has nature trails, several ponds and paved walking trails. If your cat were to stay with me overnight, they'd stay in my large bathroom with a large bed, litter box, and water fountain. Dogs will be kept in my dog's crate overnight and let out for the last time at 10:30pm and again at 6am.
Ratings and reviews
We cannot express how grateful we are to Katherine F. for taking such wonderful care of Kitty during our two-month trip away from Orlando. She was incredibly reliable, attentive, and sent regular updates with photos of Kitty, which eased all our worries while we were traveling. It was such a relief knowing our beloved cat was in patient, loving hands. Katherine truly treated Kitty like her own, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you so much, Katherine!
First time using Rover and Katie was great!!
The pets were well taken care of and it was much better than leaving them at a boarding place. Will definitely be using Katherine again!
All our pets were very well taken care of by Katherine.
Great experience with Katherine! Will definitely book again!
Katherine is absolutely wonderful! She was very responsive and reliable. I also appreciate that she would grab our packages if we had any sitting and bring them in. I will absolutely schedule care with Katherine again in the future!

Schedule
My current job has a hybrid schedule, and I work from home most days, so my schedule is quite flexible. This allows me to provide consistent and attentive care to your pets. Every animal holds a special place in my heart, and I understand how important they are to you. Whether your family includes dogs🐕, cats🐈, birds🦜, or any other type of animal, you can trust that they will be treated with the same love and attention I give my own critters. I look forward to meeting your beloved pets and ensuring they are happy, safe, and well-cared for while you're away!
