Graduate Student and Petsitter!
Pet care experience
Hello! I am a graduate student, a wildlife biologist, and a professional pet-sitter! I am a former veterinary technician, and have experience caring for a range or pets, from dogs and cats to reptiles, birds, small pets, and even horses. Many of these animals I've cared for since a young child. I also have extensive experience caring for puppies/kittens and pets needing a little extra care, as well as some formal dog training experience. Rates are flexible
Reviews



This was the second time Katie took care of our pets and we were again very pleased. We will continue requesting Katie as long as she’s available. Our pets were very well cared for while we were gone.




Katie was great! She took great care of the pets-they were all healthy and happy when we returned. She came over before our trip to meet us and our pets. We greatly appreciated having peace of mind that our pets were well cared for while we were gone.

As always, Katie went above and beyond to make sure my pets were well-loved and taken care of. I’d recommend Katie to anyone!

Katie always does great with Allie and Astro!
