Safety, trust & environment

I will show all pets love and attention through play and physical touch. As a lover of the outdoors, it is my pleasure to take your pet outside to play and run around with them. For cats, I will show them the attention they need, whether that's gentle petting, brushing, playing with toys, or simply sitting quietly with them so they feel comfortable and secure. I will always respect your home when visiting. I will make sure food and water bowls are fresh, litter boxes are clean, and that pets have a quiet, cozy space to rest when they need it. I promise to treat every pet like my own family member, with patience, kindness, and plenty of love.

Information Katherine S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet is afraid of or sensitive to anything, whether it be vehicles, other animals, etc. I want your pet to be as comfortable as possible. If your dog has special needs or takes any sort of medication, I would appreciate knowing that as well. Thank you in advance!

A typical day

In the afternoons, we can walk around the neighborhood, play with toys, or go for a walk in the park! On full days, more time can be spent outdoors playing, enjoying nice weather, or indoors playing with toys and cuddling up for some well-deserved attention.

Pet care experience

While I have only provided official pet care once, I have gained experience through owning and caring for my own pets since I was a young girl. My family has raised a variety of animals, and we've always had dogs and cats in our home. Over the years, we've owned goats, bunnies, birds, dogs, and cats. My experience comes from caring for my own pets, plus helping out with pets belonging to family, friends, and neighbors. I've learned how to handle feeding, grooming, cleaning up after them, and making them feel comfortable and loved. I would love nothing more than to meet your sweet pet and give them all the love and care they deserve whenever you need a reliable, caring caretaker.

Finding someone you can truly trust with your pets is no small thing. It's easy to tell that Katie loves animals. She is kind, attentive and loving toward our dogs. She's had many pets of her own: a rabbit, a goat, a bird and a cat, so she's had a lot of experience over the years taking care of animals. You will not go wrong with having Katie care for your pet

Katie has kept and loved animals all her life. She has had daily experience in caring for both cats and dogs (as well as the occasional goat and caockatiel) and has demonstrated that she is practical, responsible, and develops bonds with the animals for which she is caring. Not only does Katie have specific experience in caring for animals, but she has also proven to be a trustworthy and responsible person in general.
