Pet care experience

Patient and attentive care for pets

I've been caring for dogs and cats in my neighborhood since I was 15 and building lasting relationships with families who return to my services frequently. I'm comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including multiple pets simultaneously. My neighbors trust me not just as a sitter, but as someone who loves and cares about their household.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in your home, my priority is keeping their environment exactly as they're used to, meaning same routine, same spaces, and same sense of security. I follow any instructions you leave carefully, whether that's feeding schedules, areas to avoid, or specific habits your pet has. For cat visits, I take my time rather than rushing in and out, giving shy cats space to come to me and making sure I'm attentive to social ones. For dogs, I make sure they're exercised, stimulated, and comfortable, and I always leave the home the way I found it. I've been doing this long enough to know that the small details matter, whether it be a favorite toy, a usual nap spot, a specific treat. My own 13 year old mini labradoodle, Hazel, is quite particular and has given me plenty of training in that area. Families in my neighborhood have trusted me with their homes and their animals for years, and I take that seriously every single visit.

I highly recommend using Katie for your pet sitting needs. She is extremely reliable and has been taking good care of Bailey (my labradoodle) for years. Bailey absolutely loves her! He gets so excited when he sees her. I can count on Katie showing up on time and know he is in excellent hands when she takes care of him.

Katherine watched my 2 black labs for the weekend while I was away. She took them on trails around our property, followed our instructions for feeding, bedtime, and their typical routines. Katherine took great care of our dogs and is very reliable. I highly recommend!
