Pet care experience

Flexible Care for Cats & Dogs

I have over 15 years of pet care experience, including caring for my own pets and petsitting for friends and family. I’ve looked after dogs and cats of all ages and personalities, and I truly love spending time with animals. I have three cats of my own and have experience administering various types of medication, including oral meds and topical treatments. I also regularly care for several community cats, so I’m comfortable working with shy, independent, and less social animals. Whether your pet is playful, anxious, energetic, or aloof, I’ll provide thoughtful, loving care that meets their unique needs.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

My heart has always belonged to animals. I own three cats and grew up with dogs, and I have loved them all. Am willing to play, scratch behind ears, match enthusiasm, or be ignored, all for the love of pets.

I needed help and it was super last minute. Very accommodating and responsive with communication. Went out of her way to meet my 2 bratty dogs the day before she needed to help me out. Will definitely reach out to Katie again

Schedule

I currently offer drop-in visits and walks Friday through Sunday in the Fredericksburg, VA area, with flexible availability throughout each day. Whether you need a quick walk or some weekend companionship for your pet, I’m happy to help make your time away stress-free!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Katherine can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Before sitting, I always like to know: • Your pet’s routine (mealtimes, litter box habits, walk schedule, etc.) • Any medical needs or medications • Behavior quirks (Are they shy? Do they hide? Are there things that trigger anxiety or aggression?) • How they feel about strangers, other pets, loud noises, etc. • What kind of affection or play they enjoy—or don’t • Any house rules you’d like me to follow (no pets on furniture, doors to keep closed, etc.) The more I know up front, the better I can tailor my care to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away!
