Lifelong pet owner & DHA volunteer

Pet care experience

I’ve been pet sitting for family and friends just the last few years, but I was raised with cats and dogs (and fish... and hermit crabs... and guinea pigs...) my whole life. Everyone in my family are animal lovers, and my mother volunteers for the Delaware Humane Association which got me started there too. I’ve fostered a few cats and dogs at home, and I currently help look after a feral cat colony over the spring/summer down in Earleville. I like to describe myself as “more of a cat person than a people person” but really I just love being around all animals. I’ve made friends with all kinds of dogs through the years, and even most anti-social cats tend to enjoy my company. Whether it’s taking long walks through the neighborhood, playing with toys, or just lounging on the couch watching tv, I look forward to spending some quality time with your pet soon!

Katie took great care of Luka; my pup was happy and healthy and excited when I got home. I’d definitely ask her to watch Luka again!

Katie has watched my two dogs many times when we went on vacation. She has always been great with animals, loves and cares for them like her own. She is a responsible lady with great understanding to commit to her job as a caretaker for your dog or cat. I would highly recommend her to care for your pets.

Katie has been an animal lover since birth. She has always (and still does!) had a houseful of any combination of dogs, cats, guinea pigs...as well as every kids favorite, hermit crabs. She has always had a part in the responsibility of the care of the family pets and learned to be respectful to the pets (i.e. no pulling ears, stepping on, etc). Katie has done pet-sitting for a variety of families over the years. Owners have felt very confident in leaving their beloved furry family members in her care from the first initial meeting between Katie and the pets. Dogs and cats are automatically drawn to Katie as I know they sense her kindness and love. She has become a regular pet-sitter for the families that she has helped. The pets are always super excited to see her...especially if the visits involve Katie staying the night! I would not hesitate to leave my pets in Katie's care.
