Pet care experience

An animal lover you can trust ♡

Hey, I'm Katie - a St. Louis native and pet enthusiast! I own two cats with my fiancé, but I've owned and cared for dogs and cats throughout my entire life. I find solace in the presence of animals, making me the perfect sitter for pets who crave companionship. I'm also a writer - one who's happy to curl up next to your animals as I type away. Whether we're snuggled up indoors with my laptop or exploring the great outdoors on a walk, your pet's happiness and well-being couldn't be a higher priority! My flexible schedule allows me to be there when you need me most, whether it's for a midday walk or an extended stay. I have experience with caring for elderly and disabled pets, as well as administering medications to both dogs and cats. Let's set something up today! I can't wait to meet and love on your animals. Please double-check my rates to ensure I'm the right fit, as I charge an extended rate for longer sits (8+ days) and holidays.

Katie watched my dog Atlas while we were out of the country and she was fabulous! We came home to a happy, healthy boy and a clean house :) never had to worry about Atlas while we were gone which speaks volume.

Katie is nothing short of amazing. There is always a little anxiety when leaving your pets to go away but I have never felt more comfortable with any other dog sitter than I did with Katie. She gave constant updates and pics to show us our little guy was be well cared for and having a blast! Katie is so sweet and kind and you can tell she has a true love for animals. We are so thankful we found her and will definitely be using her again!!!!

Katie took wonderful care of our dogs and home. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates so we knew everything was going well at home. She also left our home very clean when we came home including washing all bedding - not expected but much appreciated.

I have an incredibly flexible and forgiving schedule, with most of my free time dedicated to writing. With my ability to adapt quickly to changing needs and times, I guarantee that your pets will always receive the attention and care they deserve.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Katie can host up to 1 pet per night
I have experience working with senior dogs, including those who have medication needs, special sleeping arrangements, diaper requirements, etcetera — it’s important to me to know ahead of time if your dog requires any of this sort of assistance so I know to be prepared!
