Pet care experience

Nurse, mom and pet lover, win win!

I'm a lifelong resident of Seminole County, a mom of two human children, a registered nurse and animal mom to 2 rescue dogs and some pet chickens. I've always loved animals from a very young age. In fact I was determined to become a veterinarian until I realized you don't just get to love on animals all day. So I became a human nurse instead but I am still passionate about all animals and would love to provide extra pets and love to your four-legged family members. I have flexible hours so whenever you need me chances are I'm available. I'm very comfortable giving medications if needed. As a military spouse who's moved a lot in the past I understand how hard it is to leave your pets with a stranger. I'll never forget the Christmas I trusted a local petsitter with my dogs and she called me at the airport and told me she couldn't do it for the rest of the week. I vowed that I would always be a reliable and honest pet sitter and never let others feel that feeling of helplessness I felt while traveling away from my pets. We recently lost our 135lb rescued Afghanistan war dog so no dog is too big, no cat is too small! I even have experience with small mammals and reptiles such as lizards, snakes and turtles. Please reach out to me with any questions and I can't wait to meet your furbabies!

Katherine was awesome and so accommodating! She was able to do drop in visits with my cat over the holidays, which was greatly appreciated. She sent great updates and pictures/videos each day, and I loved seeing them! She even got her a present! We usually have my sister-in-law watch our cat when we’re gone, but she was out of town for the holidays. If that ever happens again, we will definitely re-hire Katherine!

Katherine was amazing and really gave us peace of mind when we were away on vacation. We booked fairly last minute and she was very accommodating. One of my pups is very hyper and she was kind and loving with ease. Really appreciate her and will ask her again when we go on vacation, love the photo updates also.

Katherine has been great with Sam and keeping him exercised. Very available and flexible. Able to keep him entertained so that I can work. :)
