Pet care experience

I'm here to love animals and people

Hey there! Call me Katie. Amateur Animal Whisperer. I LOVE cats and dogs alike. I'm so thankful for your interest and trust in me! I am a lover of nature and all life it encompasses. I have professional experience with animals, children, and house sitting. I do well with animals of all breeds, species, ages and needs. I never meet an animal I don't love. All my life, I have had a gift for bringing peace to otherwise 'unfriendly' or 'unwelcoming' animals. It is not uncommon for me to be cuddling with a friend's dog or cat... Later to find their astonishment at their animal allowing me (or anyone) to do so! I am comfortable and do very well with animals with special needs. I am only 5'2 but I have a passion for Great Danes! And birds! And cats! I feel I am very attentive, intuitive, and loving with people and animals alike. I am looking forward to getting to know your furry family members! Thank you for reading!

Dog Walking • Jun 05, 2026

She was on time and very professional. I was nervous because this is my first time using this app and trusting a stranger to walk my baby but I am happy with my decision.

Katherine is fantastic! I reached out to her last minute hoping she could walk my corgi and Aussie the following day while I was at work. She was able to accommodate both of their walking styles and sent pictures and updates throughout the walk. She has a great personality and is an outstanding communicator. I will most definitely use her again.

House Sitting • Oct 24, 2023

Without question the best Dog Sitter ever. I have two very large dogs. One is old and has cancer. Can’t get up on her own needs constant care. The other is a 180 pound four year old who is a handful. Kathryn took great care of both of them for three full days, and was very helpful in maintaining order and keeping the house together.

Katie went above and beyond caring for my children. I can't recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for a dog sitter.

Boarding • Jul 10, 2021

Katie was amazing! She and her family took great care of our dog the whole week. Her pup, Pippa and Einstein got along great, and we got lots of updates and pictures! My only regret is that Einstein can't play with Pippa and Katie more, he misses them!

Katherine took incredible care of my two senior pups while my family went on vacation. We are new to TX and I was nervous about finding someone to care for them, but Katherine made me feel immediately comfortable and connected with my pups so quickly. I got the cutest pictures and updates while I was away and Katherine did laundry and bathed them both, neither of which were things I asked her to do. It was so awesome being able to be away and feel good about their care. Thank you Katherine!
