Pet care experience

Laidback dog and cat aunt

I've been hanging out with animals all my life; taking care of others' animal babies for close to a decade. No mess is too gnarly; I've popped pills and dispensed hairball meds. Love a long neighborhood walk or a long snuggle. Let me help take care of your fur babies!

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or routine, and I will be sure to keep things consistent. I'll work with you to be sure I understand your pupper or kitten's daily and weekly routine--feeding times, exercise needs, medications, and any other necessities.

House Sitting • Mar 25, 2026

Katie did an amazing job taking care of our dog and two cats during our 12 day trip out of the country on a family vacation. We were so nervous about leaving them, especially after our previous sitter wasn’t available. But Katie was so sweet, responsible, and loving to them while we were gone. She was incredibly responsive and sent us a lot of pictures which really put us at ease, knowing they were in good hands with Katie! We are SO happy we found her and will definitely use her services again. ❤️

Katie watched our pups and we couldn't thank her more for her care for them! She sent regular updates and closely followed the pup’s picky eating feeding instructions just right! We will be asking Katie back to watch the pups again soon!!

Would recommend Katie to anyone needing a dog sitter. Great communication, dealt with our sassy husky for 4 nights, and left our space just how she found it. Thanks so much, Katie!

Katie doesn't have animals of her own, which means she's very fair and impartial with yours. She has experience looking after her siblings' and friends' cats and dogs of many different breeds, and they ALL love her. She's extremely responsible, attentive, and loving, and you can trust that she will care for your fur babies the exact way you would want her to. (All the way down to how to prepare their food just so, when they are super picky eaters.) You can rest assured that they will feel loved and nourished while in her care.

My furbabies love Katie! My three dogs are always so excited to welcome her when she arrives and my kitties love her lap! I would definitely trust her with my animals any day!

Kate is very responsible and loves animals. If you see how animals respond to her, you will want her to care for your furry companion.

Schedule

I do not have pets of my own; I much prefer being the fun pet aunt! I have siblings and close friends with dogs and cats, who I've spent a lot of time with and pet sit often. I'm flexible! Not having my own pets also means I have plenty of time and energy to spend with yours. I work full time M-F, but most weeks I work from home 3 days a week, and that can be your home with your fur baby. Whether I'm popping in for a walk or a potty break or spending several nights with your fur baby, they will be my priority. I love a long neighborhood walk, snuggles, and will take the time to play.
