Highlights
Pet care experience
Pet-Loving Actuary
I have been professionally caring for pets for over two years. Additionally, I have daily experience caring for my two boys, Jasper and Felix (both cats), as well as my fish (90-gallon tank). I have experience with senior pets, pets requiring medications (even the most stubborn of cats!), special needs animals, and high-energy breeds. I have personal experiences with rodents and bunnies and am open to caring for exotic animals. I have always had pets in the house while growing up, and now I have two cats and numerous fish that I care for and adore. As a kid, part of my daily chores included caring for dogs, cats, fish, mice, and miniature guinea pigs--an evolving group of family pets throughout the years. Since moving to CT, I've been limited to only my cat, Jasper, as I am a renter. I've volunteered to pet-sit and dog-walk for my friends in my spare time to get more interactions with the animals I love. My friend with two huskies recently moved away, so I'm looking for more dogs to walk. I would walk these dogs up to six miles, so I am definitely open for long-walks as well.

Safety, trust & environment
I care for other people's pets like I do my own: with love and care. Jasper is the light of my life and I want to give back to these animals that give so much to us any way I can. I also am very conscious of other peoples' spaces and belongings and respect them. I am actively looking for dogs to walk and for cats and other animals to play with and feed.
Ratings and reviews
Excellent, as always. Consistently accommodating and professional, cats are thriving.
Katie did an amazing job taking care of our dog Luna while we were away. We appreciated the daily updates and the attention Katie gave to Luna. Would definitely book with Katie again!
Katie is very reliable and patient with our cat
Great, as always.
Dear Katie, Thanks for taking such good care of us. We had fun, weren't lonely, and always felt safe. We hope to see you soon. -- Your friends, Linc and Kanga.
Katie was a life saver for us! Extremely accommodating with our unique situation. Would hesitate to use her again and highly recommend her for pet care.

Schedule
I often work from home, so I am generally free to walk or play throughout the day. I find dog walking to be a great source of exercise and outdoor-time for me, so I look to find dogs to care for even if I currently cannot have dogs of my own due to renting. My cat, Jasper, and some cats of my friends are always a joy to play with.

- Please let me know if there are any specific eating, play, and walking habits for your dog. If your dog has any injuries to keep an eye out for, places they do not like to be pet, or sounds/objects they do not like, I would like to know so I can respect them. If they have any tricks (paw, roll-over, etc) you would like me to try, those are great, too!
