Pet care experience
Cat Lover, Dog Adorer
Okay, as a cat person… I see a need: where are all the cat babysitters?! Lots of dog lovers out there (I’m one, too), but the cats totally get left behind and they need all the love, too. Am I right? (Hehe.) In steps me. I have provided pet care services for many years for both cats and dogs. I can do drop-ins and dog walking and boarding! For the cat owners: I love my cat soooooo much and I’ve realized it’s kind of hard finding cat people on here to help with as much love as I would give so I wanted to be a person to offer that love and to help with your fur kitties when I can. For cat & dog owners: Pet care has always been a part of my life. Most recently I've cared for a cutie ragamuffin kitty in my home (boarded for a week) and two adult cats (making home visits), boarded another adult cat (a 4-week stay), took care of a younger Vizsla (full-time, while a nanny), stayed overnight in-home with two Dachshunds (one week), and also provided in-home, overnight care to the cutest cat and dog duo (6-night stay), amongst others. In the midst of all this pet care, I rescued my own kitty—Oscar (who has since passed 😞). Now I volunteer at our local animal shelter. Overall, I’m just here to love on some animals and give you some peace of mind that they’re totally in great care. Let me know how I can help out! I look forward to talking to you soon!

Ratings and reviews
Katie, She is amazing! I truly appreciate Katie as she helped me last minute for drop-in visits for my cat. She took special care of my kitty and knew exactly what to do. Thank you Katie!!!
Katie was such a blessing to my boyfriend and I as we nervously looked for someone to care for our babies while we were out of town on vacation. Having just moved here a year ago, with no family around, and few friends in the area, we really weren't sure what we were going to do about our fur kiddos! We were gone a week and Katie sent pictures, videos, and checked in with us each day. She even had the grace to reach out and visit our home and meet us and the animals before we went on vacation. We felt very comfortable having her in the home, and knew she would take great care of our babies! Bubba and Baby love her, and we now have a sitter to reach out to any time we are gone. We are so thankful for Katie and we have definitely recommended her to multiple people since our vacation in July! Thank you Katie!! -Abby, Hadley, Bubba, and Baby.
Katie was kind enough to watch my cat, Zoe, in her home for a little over three weeks! Not only did Katie go above and beyond to make my cat as comfortable as can be, she provided regular updates and photos! I'm pretty sure Zoe didn't want to leave when it came time for me to pick her up. Katie was extraordinarily kind through the whole process and I felt more than comfortable leaving my cat under her care. She really takes the time to make sure the cat was comfortable and spent a great deal of time playing with and loving on Zoe. I would recommend Katie a million times over and be thrilled to have her watch my cat again!
Oh my goodness, Katie is amazing! She has absolutely the biggest caring heart, and I highly recommend her if you are looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and just an incredible person to take care of your precious babies. The amount of love she pours onto the pets she is caring for and looking after is so awe inspiring, and you won’t ever have to wonder for a second how they are doing as she will send you pictures of their days and adventures while you are away. Katie is simply my favorite person and I would trust her with all that I have, and I know you will too once you meet her. Hands down, she is the best at all she does and I wouldn’t want anyone else ever watching my pets!
Katie is awesome. She's kind, considerate, and reliable. Our two dogs actually get excited when Katie comes. We would highly recommend her. You won't be disappointed.

Schedule
I work from home full-time which means I can provide lots of attention and snuggles (and outside time for the pups) during the day time. :)

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I will care for your kitty or dog with every bit of my heart that I use to care for mine. I really do think cats in particular get looked over and if you’re someone like me who wants the best care for them, that’s what I’m here for. Lots of love and catered attention.
A typical day
At your home I’ll feed and make sure to stay enough time to get both adequate play time and pets (if they warm up to me enough and/or want them).
