Pet care experience

Lifelong fur baby cuddler! 💙

I’ve had fosters alongside my own pets my entire life, and couldn’t be more of an animal lover! I have an extra soft spot for seniors. I’m pet CPR & first aid certified, and have extensive experience with special needs pets. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. I’d love to do a meet and greet with your babies! I promise I will treat them as if they were my own.

Katie is a wonderful person and pet care taker! You can immediately feel how much love and care she has for every animal. I have 2 cats and Katie has always been great with both of them. She is trustworthy, punctual, and thorough. She has a lot of experience with cats and dogs, even ones with more complex needs. I always trust Katie to care for my fur babies!

If you want a sitter who will love your pet just as much as you do, Katie is that person. Having known her for at least five years, I’ve watched her care for her own dogs and cats through every stage of life. She has a special gift for handling pets with chronic illnesses, showing a level of carefulness and expertise that is rare to find. She is gentle, highly observant, and incredibly compassionate. Your pet will be in the safest, most loving hands possible."

I highly recommend working with Katie! She understands all life stages and has experience administering medications as well. When she met my pup, Daks, she made a point to ask what my verbal commands were so that she could be consistent with him.

Katie has a heart as big as the planet for all little living creatures. She rescues those cats and dogs which most people would pass by due to disabilities or medical needs, then patently and lovingly brings them around to good health and good behavior. I have 6 cats and she has babysat them. She knows how to safely administer medications and follows care instructions given to her. Katie is always prompt, always prepared, and always happy to meet a new four-legged friend! I trust her with my babies, and they are not just 'pets', they are my children. She is also extremely trustworthy in other people’s homes.

I've known Katie for over 10 years, and if there's one thing that's remained constant, it's her deep love for animals. When we met, she had two senior cats she'd adopted — and she absolutely doted on them, giving them all the love and care they deserved in their later years. She also opened her home to a senior pit bull from a shelter, giving her a happy, loving life. Beyond her own pets, Katie has fostered animals whenever she could and has always been a passionate advocate for animal welfare. She's responsible, warm, and attentive— the kind of person who treats every animal like it's her own. Any pet owner would be lucky to have Katie caring for their furry family member.

Katie has some sort of animal-speaking magic, because whenever my skittish cat hears her voice, you can see her whole cat body relax, like she's under a spell. All my pets, including my super spirited husky and border collie w/ PTSD, ADORE her. She's especially good at giving medication and and coaxing reluctant animals to let her handle them for treatment, and she has a soft spot for older and special needs animals. She's also very strong and can lift my big dogs up stairs and into the car, which gives me peace of mind that they'll be able to get to the vet quickly in an emergency. She's got so much empathy for animals, and genuinely understands their body language and how to communicate with even the most difficult cases. Katie treats my pets like her own children, and I would trust her with their lives.
