Making Comfort & Safety a Priority
Pet care experience
Thank you for checking out my profile! I have been pet sitting for 11 years, but have lived with and owned animals my whole life. I have also worked in various boarding facilities, doggy day cares, groom shops, and dog boutiques in both kennel tech and management positions. My husband and I have lived in Bethlehem since 2017. Animals are my passion. I have six dogs myself, but love all animals. I have some experience caring for birds and fish, but have not personally owned these pets myself. In addition to dog walking and pet sitting, I also have some experience training dogs and as a professional dog bather and grooming assistant. If you would like to add a training session or bath on to your dog’s stay with me, just ask! I am good with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I have five Siberian Huskies and one husky mix. I am also experienced in giving medication to both cats and dogs, including pills for pets that won’t take them in treats and insulin shots for diabetic pets. I do require that we do a meet and greet at your house before I walk or sit your pets. This is nonnegotiable, so if you cannot let me meet you and your pets beforehand then I cannot pet sit or walk them. This way I am able to provide them with the best care possible and they feel more comfortable with me. Keeping your pet happy and well cared for is my priority. I always send lots of photos and a daily update of our time together.

Katie continues to be amazing! We know our fur family is in good hands under her care. We’d recommend her to anyone!
Katie always takes such great care of my kitties! I never worry about them when I am away because I know they are in good hands.
Katie continues to be fantastic!! We never worry when we are away and know they are going to be very well cared for when she is watching them. We are so happy to have found her for our fur family!❤️
Really good with my animals and flexible with schedule!

Safety, trust & environment
Safety is a priority to me. I never leave pets outdoors unsupervised unless specifically instructed otherwise. I personally own an “escape artist” breed so I am very careful opening exterior doors and take extra measures to ensure your pet will never get out while under my care.
Home
Information Katie A. would like to know about your pet
I do not have any breed restrictions. I love all dogs of any size. However, I would like to know if your dog has any aggressive or protective tendencies before I pet sit them. I would also like to know of any behaviors, such as rough play, separation anxiety, or destructiveness, so I can be prepared of what to expect during our time together.
A typical day
I am very interactive with the dogs. I love going on dog walks and playing with them inside. I usually accommodate to whatever style the owner and pet prefers! I will take your dog on walks around the neighborhood if you want me to or we can play in the backyard. I like to try to keep your pet's schedule as normal as possible for them, so where ever you take your pup for walks or however you like to play with your pet is what I will try to do.

Availability
I am currently working full time in Atlanta so I can do a morning or evening drop in or walks. I do not do overnights since I have 6 pups of my own at home. Due to my current work schedule, I cannot pet sit any pets who need more than 1 drop in a day.
