Pet care experience

Looking to meet your best friend!

Hi! I have been providing pet care on and off for over twenty years. I've spent time as a shelter volunteer and even owned my own dog walking business. While I don't have pets of my own, I am a big animal lover and I adore taking care of my friends and neighbors fur babes. I am a full time student, taking classes from home, and hoping to spend my extra time hanging with your pet!

Safety, trust & environment

I don't have a fenced yard as I live in an apartment complex, but we do have a gated dog run. I have a lot of past experience working with leash training and I'm confident with dogs of all kinds, regardless of reaction levels. I prefer to work with your pet, not against them, and I am adaptable to their specific needs.

Katie is amazing! My dog loves her, and I couldn't be happier with her service. She’s incredibly reliable and keeps me updated with photos and notes. It gives me complete peace of mind knowing my pet is in such loving, capable hands. Highly recommended!

Katie was amazing with my cat while I was on vacation! My cat absolutely loved her, and I felt so comfortable knowing she was being well taken care of. Katie visited twice a day, made sure she had fresh food and water, cleaned her litter box, played with her, and gave her plenty of attention and love. She also sent me updated photos every day, which I really appreciated and helped give me peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely hire Katie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!

Katie has known and helped with my pets for years! She’s a true lover of a creature and has so much patience and care for even fussy, difficult pets like mine. She’s great with dogs and so sweet with cats. I would trust her to take care of my babes, read and understand all instructions, respect my home, and have great communication.

Katie was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Pig! She was attentive, caring, and communicative. We felt completely comfortable leaving Pig with her while we were away. We couldn't recommend Katie more. She's trustworthy, kind, and loves animals. We will definitely be hiring her again!

Katie is amazing! She is thoughtful, considerate, and kind. She is communicative and available. I really felt at ease leaving Katastrophy (my cat) in her care. Katie cat sat for me regularly before I moved and it was a real blessing having her. She takes FANTASTIC pictures too! Thank you Katie! I know Katastrophy can be a handful but she loves and misses you!

Schedule

I am a full time student with a full semester of online classes which allows me a lot of freedom and a bit of extra time. I generally work from home and don't spend much time away. I'm also an avid walker and love to be outside (when it's not SO hot) whether walking in the neighborhood or out on the trails.
