Pet care experience
I love animals of all shapes and sizes and have personal, professional, and volunteer experience managing a variety of medical and behavioral needs. I am a long-time rescue volunteer (history with OTAT and Austin Pets Alive!), dog and cat owner, plus I have professional pet-sitting/walking/daycare experience (The Pet Gal and Jackie's Play and Stay in Austin TX) to boot. I'll take great care of your friend and send lots of good photos :) They'll be treated as if they were my own. I know muzzles, gentle leaders, easy walkers, walks with reactive dogs, caretaking for stranger danger dogs and cats, IV fluid administration, insulin shots, you name it. Plus lots of pets and snugs, of course. I can only care for your babes at your house as my own brood (Baby the pittie, Pippa the chi chi, and Kikszka and Pierogi the kitties) run the roost here 🙃 I'd love to meet your crew! Note: Please note overnight stays as priced are for 24 hours. If you only need care from 7pm-9am, service goes down to $50. Also, if your dog is dog-friendly and likes to play, I'm happy to bring my chihuahua Pippa upon request. Thank you!
Reviews
Kati is one of my go to dog walkers for my two on leash reactive pups. With both dogs each weighing over 50 lbs, I always worry about who I leave them with but I am always rest assured they are in great hands with Kati at the helm. Icing on the cake? Both my dogs (and cats) love her!
Kati was absolutely amazing caring for our pit bull, Lucy. Lucy doesn't get along too well with other pups and has a tendency to get stressed so I needed someone to stay at the house. Kati is super loving and patient. She helped Lucy cope with the anxiety of having her family away; giving Lucy all of the love and snuggles we would have if we were there. Kati sent text and picture updates while I was away so I didn't worry about my pup. I feel so lucky to have found her to watch Lucy! Absolutely will be booking again!
I was Katie’s manager at Jackie’s Play and Stay, a dog daycare and boarding facility. Katie cared for large groups of dogs in an open play environment on a regular basis. She’s extremely responsible, caring, and has tons of experience handling dogs of all breeds and sizes as well as recognizing/managing doggy behavior! She’s reliable and very communicative and I’d trust her to take care of my own pets any day! :)
Kati adopted one of my favorite foster dogs of all time and gave that dog the best, most spoiled and well cared for life ever. She's proficient in dealing with pets that have complex medical needs including pill administration, fluids and more. She loves felines and canines equally and is comfortable handling all different breeds of dogs. She's kind and responsible and she takes great photos to keep you updated as well.
