Information Katie C. would like to know about your pet

Please don’t hesitate to fill me in on anything you may need me to know about your fur-baby, their medical needs, personalities, and anything in between!

A typical day

Giving each pet what they need to happily thrive is essential in any typical day. Your care will cater to your pets preferred lifestyle. For example, my Aussie, likes brisk walk to the park and a game of fetch, my Chihuahua on the other hand, likes to walk around and relieve himself on everything in sight, while the older lab, prefers a little butt scratch with her meds hidden in a snack and she’ll happily sleep all day! For my cat, a laser is ESSENTIAL for high energy fun and play!

Pet care experience

I am a highly experienced and passionate caretaker for furry friends. With 3 dogs and 1 cat of my own, I have a lifetime of experience in taking care of animals. I am particularly knowledgeable in geriatric care and puppy training, ensuring that animals of all ages receive the specialized care and attention they need.

Katie really came through and walked Winnie every day for four days when I needed some help taking her out! Thank you, Katie!

It was so great to be able to count on Katie for three days of walking when I was away and my partner at work! Winnie always has a great time with her.
