Pet care experience

KY raised. Tailwag approved!

I genuinely love building relationships with both pets and their people. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all care. Every animal has their own personality, routine and needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable and loved. I grew up in Kentucky surrounded by animals and have spent my life caring for dogs, cats, and other furry friends. I've raised and trained puppies, and also have cared for senior pets. I am comfortable administering oral(and other) medications when needed. Whether your pet is energetic/playful or prefers a slower pace, I'm happy to adjust to them. Because I work remotely as a freelance casting professional and actor, my schedule is extremely flexible. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, walks, playtime, and affection throughout the day, and I'll always follow their routine. I also have a background in hospitality and customer service, so communication is one of my biggest priorities. You'll receive regular adorable photo and video updates, prompt responses, and the peace of mind that your home will be treated with respect. My goal is simple: for you to come home to a happy, relaxed pet who can't wait to see you again, but who had a wonderful time while you were away.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether I'm stopping by for a visit or staying overnight, my goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your furry family members. I take the time to get to know each pet's unique personality, routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, favorite toys, medications, and any special instructions. I'll follow their routine as closely as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'm naturally neat & organized and I believe in treating every home with the utmost respect. I know it takes trust to welcome someone into your personal space, so I'll always respect your privacy, leave your home just as clean (or cleaner!) than I found it, and care for it as if it were my own. Your pet's safety is always my top priority, from making sure doors are securely locked to keeping a close eye on them during walks, playtime, and throughout the day. One of my favorite parts of pet sitting is capturing adorable photos and videos to share with you, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, well cared for, and having a great time!

Katie is an amazing young lady. She is working hard to become a professional actress. She has a lot of energy and is like a ray of sunshine shine every time you see her. She loves her 2 pups back in KY and misses them when she is at home in NYC. She has recently become a dog walker. She loves hanging out and playing with each and every dog she meets. She is very responsible and will treat your pet like it’s her very own fur baby. I highly recommend her as a dog sitter or a dog walker.

Schedule

Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine! I work remotely as a freelance casting professional and actor, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to spend most of my day at home (or anywhere in NY). Caring for animals isn't something I fit into my schedule—it's already woven into it. I'm able to provide plenty of companionship, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and attention throughout the day. I enjoy structuring my day around each pet's routine, making sure they stay on their normal feeding, exercise, and cuddle schedule while you're away. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable and cared for as they do when you're home.

I love learning as much as I can about your pet so I can provide the best possible care. I like to know their daily routine, feeding schedule, favorite activities, walking preferences, energy level, medications, allergies, and any quirks/behaviors (specifically what they're afraid of, how they are with other people/animals, any commands/training words/cues you use at home. The more I know ahead of time, the easier it is to make your pet feel comfortable and keep their routine as familiar as possible. Every pet is different, and I believe great care starts with understanding exactly what makes yours special.
