Pet care experience
Certified PetSitter-Fenced yard!
Are you looking for a loving, caring, trusting, dependable person who can provide exceptional service and care for your pet while you are away? I am a certified pet sitter, insured, and registered! I am also a member of PetsitUSA. I have loved and cared for pets since childhood. Pets are truly part of the family, and deserve to be treated and cared for as such. Your pet will be treated like part of our family, a home away from home! I am a full time Registered Nurse case manager. I work fully from home. I enjoy my pet sitting business too! My two passions in life..Nursing and pets! I get to live the best of both worlds...fulfilling my passions and providing your pet awesome quality care! My experience working with pets, completion of pet sitter certification course, and owning a variety of different types of pets in my lifetime gives me the knowledge to understand animal behavior and care, which is beneficial in being able to provide safe and nurturing care for your precious pet! I am not a veterinarian, but my experience as a Registered Nurse provides me a keen sense when it comes to recognizing potential health concerns and ability to manage the care of special needs pets, elderly pets, or pets needing medications too! I live in a 4 bedroom block home with my husband, three children, and my own beloved pets! My yard is FULLY fenced with lots of room for your dog to play! Your dog will be under constant supervision both inside and outside! I can take dogs on walks in my quiet low traffic neighborhood too! I can pet sit cats, birds, and small caged animals also! My three kids are very helpful, playful, gentle, and loving with pets as well. Your pet will be treated like part of our family in our care! I am a pet parent and I understand the apprehensions that come with leaving your fur babies with a stranger. I will be glad to schedule a meet and greet for you and your pet to get to know me. Please feel free to contact me with inquiries. I look forward to providing your pet a loving, home away from home, experience under my care! Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby!

Ratings and reviews
Katie is always super accommodating and great with Bella!
I felt confident my kitty was in good hands with Katie. She was very professional. She communicated with me often and was reliable and flexible. I will definitely book with her again!
Katie always takes the best care of our Annie while we're on vacation. We love to receive new pictures every day too. We know she's well cared for and loved by someone we trust.
My girls were well taken care of with Katie. They came home happy and exhausted, slept most of the day they came back. She provided plenty of updates while I was away and gave them tons of love!
Katie is always amazing with Bella and very accommodating for last minute requests!
Katie was great and was available last minute. She was very flexible and took great care of my pup.

Schedule
I work a full time work from home job Monday thru Friday and off on weekends. I can arrange for drop in care/dog walking around my work schedule during the morning and after 5pm. I have full availability on weekends for drop in/walking care. I can also pet sit/housesit at your home overnight or for a few hours while you are away. I also have children so please reach out to discuss availability for housesitting. I do not mind bringing in your mail, packages, or making your home look "lived in" while you are away for added security! I do offer doggy day care but please reach out to me for availability as I would need to evaluate compatibility with boarder dogs I already may have booked on a case by case basis..Please feel free to contact me to discuss schedule needs.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I personally have 2 dogs, 3 cats, and 5 caged birds. I have the ability to separate pets in the layout of my home as needed. My dogs are older and well mannered. I keep my cats separate when boarding dogs. I do supervised introductions when new pets are meeting my pets. I can provide separate area and/or quiet times for pets that are nervous or shy. I will consider boarding multiple families of pets at a time on a case by case basis. I will care for your animals in your home per your instructions and I will provide daily updates and pictures. Safety and providing a loving, home-like environment is my top priority when caring for your precious pet!
Pets
A typical day
For fun, my family and I like to play fetch with dogs and we have a toy basket with lots of safe toy options! We also love to give lots of pets, belly rubs, and hugs and kisses to the animals in our care! Cuddles on the couch during family TV time are also allowed, but I would be glad to abide by the same family rules you have at your home, to keep training consistent. We can provide exercise outside in our fenced in yard or take walks in our low traffic neighborhood. We do have a park a few blocks away too! Your pet is welcome to bring their favorite bed, blankets, toys, and crate too, if desired. I have three energetic children who would not mind burning some energy playing with those energetic dog personalities. My children are also great at interacting on a quieter, gentle level for those pets who are more nervous or shy. We also can board, do drop in care, housesit for other animals like cats, birds, and small caged animals! For these animals, I also would be sure to provide lots of love, attention, exercise, and nurturing care as appropriate per species needs!
