Pet care experience

I’ve grown up with pets of all shapes and sizes! I volunteered with my local animal shelter for over 8 years and helped with everything from dog walking to vet assistance with care and treatment. I pet/house sit for family and friends and am comfortable caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, rats, fish, geckos, you name it!

Katie has been a great cat sitter for us! This was the second time she took care of our cats. They’re both very shy but warm up so quickly to her. We’re grateful for her quality care!

Katie was absolutely the best cat sitter we have ever had! We were gone for two weeks and Katie always shared detailed notes letting us know how our cat was doing - if she was eating, if she was energetic. 10/10 would recommend Katie for your pet sitting needs - she is thoughtful, professional, and most importantly knows how to play and love your pet :)

Katie did a great job taking care of our cats. Our kitties are very shy especially around new people, and it was amazing seeing how they opened up to her over the short time Katie was taking care of them. We returned home to find them both healthy and happy.

Katie was so good with my two cats, and helped keep my senior cat on her medication schedule! I’m very grateful for her help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone else looking for someone to trust their special needs pet with.
