Love & care for pets like my own!

Pet care experience

Hello! I am a full time law student at Drexel after working in higher education for a few years after graduation. I have always loved animals and am excited to have a chance to care for your pet. As a child I owned a golden retriever and currently have a black lab mix which I rescued and love dearly (he lives with my parents!) I have experience with shy dogs and dogs who need a little extra patience because of neglect and abuse. I am passionate about my work and this would include caring for your pet. I would enjoy playing or walking with your pet and help them get the attention they need while you are not home! I am currently only offering in-house sitting as we added a furry friend of our own to our home and they are not quite ready to meet strangers! I would say my animal care style is hands on and I will provide as much attention as required to ensure quality care. I just ask that you are completely honest about the needs and habits of your pet (both good and bad) ! No pet is perfect but I do appreciate openness even about bad habits as it will allow me to prepare and care for your pet to the best of my ability, even if it is minor like a love for socks or getting into the garbage! I am currently a student and have a very flexible schedule so I am happy to be flexible to accommodate your pets needs and schedule. I like to get all the information I can from you before my stay so I can take great care of your pet and also your home! I think open communication is the best way to make everyone happy!

Katie was amazing with our puppy. We had to take a 2 weeks vacation and it was our puppy first time without us. I bet it was a challenging time for them but Katie was able to manage it pretty well. She sent us pictures every night and updates how was the day. I felt really comfortable knowing my puppy was with her and we are so grateful for found her. She is trustworthy and treated our baby with a lot of love ❤️ we don’t have doubts that we will reach her out in the future ?

We could not ask for a more wonderful dogsitter than Katie! She is the perfect match for our Wallace, a rambunctious, high-energy pitbull mix who needs a strong person to keep him in line. Katie is so receptive to his needs, and he loves staying with her so much that sometimes he doesn't even realize that we've left! She sends plenty of pictures, gives us updates whenever we want them, works on training with him, and is genuinely a fantastic person. We can't wait to book Wallace's next stay with her!

Katie was fantastic! She was responsive to my request and easy to coordinate with. My dog loved his time with her and we will absolutely be using her in the future.

I can’t say enough great things about Katie! We just adopted our dog Wallace a few weeks ago and had a vacation coming up. We were really nervous about leaving him with a dogsitter because we honestly didn’t know much about his manners yet, but Katie quelled our fears instantaneously once we saw her with Wallace. They clicked right away and she was so dedicated to his care the whole time. We didn’t worry about his well-being or if he was getting enough attention for one second while we were gone. Katie even

Information Katie B. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know as much about the animal as the owner is able to tell me! I would be particularly interested in the dogs likes or dislikes and any sensitivities I should be aware of. (i.e. is afraid of bigger dogs, doesn't like to be picked up ect. )

A typical day

We could go for walks around the your neighborhood and checkout local spots! I would love to play fetch and other games or just hangout and snuggle!
