Highlights
Pet care experience
10+ Years Reliable Pet/House Sitter
I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all variety, including puppies, kittens, senior pets, and animals with medical or special care needs such as bladder issues and routine medications. I’m very attentive to detail and comfortable maintaining specific care instructions so pets can stay on their normal routine and feel secure and engaged. I also have extensive experience house sitting and entering homes independently through TrustedHousesitters. I’m respectful, reliable, and highly responsible, and I understand the importance of trust, communication, and security. I prioritize making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I can also provide consistent updates and photos so owners can feel confident and connected while they’re away. Aside from pet care, I am an elementary art teacher and glass artist relocating from Philly and am excited to bike and explore Seattle!

Katie is a truly amazing lover of pets! Patient, kind, empathetic, responsible and respectful! Honestly there are not enough adjectives to describe her! She was wonderful with our dogs and an exceptional communicator. It gave me great peace of mind when I knew she was with our dogs. Without reservation 10 out of 10 stars!

Schedule
Pet care is a consistent and flexible part of my weekly routine. I build my schedule around drop-in visits, walks, and overnight house sitting. I am an artist and teacher on summer break, so I currently have a flexible schedule and prioritize being reliable and on time for all visits. I’m able to adjust my availability to meet the needs of each pet and household. I’m comfortable with early morning, midday, and evening care, and can stagger my day to make sure pets are fed, walked, and checked on within their normal routines. I also allow time in my schedule to give each visit my full attention, rather than rushing between bookings.
