Highlights
Pet care experience
Fluent in Bark & Meow Translations
I've been around dogs my whole life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. Growing up, my family owned a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier and a Goldendoodle. As our Wheaten Terrier entered her senior years, I helped care for her and became familiar with the extra patience, attention, and support that older dogs often need. I'm comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I've also cared for my roommate's cats for weeks at a time while she traveled, treating them as if they were my own. As a responsible and attentive pet lover, I understand how important it is to know your furry family members are safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.

Safety, trust & environment
I provide pet care directly in your home so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I make sure they are well fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention, affection, and playtime while you’re away. I’m also attentive to details like medication schedules, potty breaks, and any special instructions to ensure your pets are safe, happy, and cared for just the way you would. Please tell me all the random and goofy things that are essential to your pet’s routine!
Ratings and reviews
As Katie’s parent, I’ve had a front row seat to her lifelong love and natural gift for caring for animals. She has taken incredible care of our family dogs over the years, first with our beloved Lucky, and for the past three years, with our current dog, Ruby. Katie simply understands what pets need to thrive, from knowing safe dietary boundaries and providing proper exercise, to making sure they get all the love and attention they deserve. As the quintessential oldest sibling, Katie has always naturally possessed a deep sense of responsibility, which helped her excel as an A student and graduate college with honors. Combine that discipline with her Master’s Degree in counseling and education, and you get someone who is exceptionally reliable, deeply intuitive, and remarkably level-headed in any situation. She is a trusted adult who will strictly adhere to your routines, safeguard your pet, and treat them like family. Any pet owner would be truly lucky to have Katie as their sitter!
I have known Katie for years and she is easily one of the most trustworthy and compassionate people I know! Her calming energy and nurturing character has always made my fur babies feel comfortable and happy to be around her. She is great at communication, very organized and thorough and always ensures she’s takes the best care of any animal she is working with. Any family would be lucky to work with her! I couldn’t recommend her more!

Schedule
As a school counselor, I have summers off and a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate extra time and attention to caring for your pets. I truly enjoy spending my free time with animals and providing dependable, loving care so you can feel confident your furry family members are in good hands while you're away. I’m available on weekdays and weekends! Reach out to me and we’ll set something up :)
