Katie can care for
Availability
Because I provide mostly full-time care, I work best with clients who have some flexibility in scheduling. This allows me to coordinate visits efficiently while still meeting your pet’s needs. Adjustments are typically minimal, and only occasionally up to two hours.

About Katie D.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I provide drop-in visits and walks in your home so pets can remain in their familiar environment. I require a meet and greet prior to accepting new clients to ensure a good fit for everyone. I share my home with one friendly indoor cat, Blake (age 7), who is up to date on vet care and preventative treatments. Any pets in my care are never left unattended outside. Most of my clients are cats, which allows me to provide focused, low-stress, and reliable care.
Information Katie D. would like to know about your pet
I like to learn about your pet’s favorite toys, activities, routines, and any unique quirks so I can provide care that feels familiar and comfortable. Please share any allergies or medical considerations as well. For all home visits, I require a reliable way to access your property for each scheduled visit to ensure consistent and safe care.
A typical day
A typical day with me depends on your pet’s needs. For dogs, I enjoy walks at a comfortable pace, stopping for smells, exploration, and plenty of positive attention. I’m not able to take strong pullers at this time, but slow walks, playtime, and engagement are always part of the routine. For cats, drop-in visits focus on feeding, companionship, and low-stress enrichment in their familiar home environment. In all cases, I prioritize safety, comfort, and attentive care, making sure each pet feels secure and happy while you’re away.

Reviews
Katie knows a lot about cats and is extremely reliable! It's comforting to have an experienced cat sitter when your kitties aren't used to strangers in their home.
Katie did a wonderful job watching my pup. She came to meet her first before booking and spent time learning her routine. She was timely and always sent photos. Thank you!
Katie knows cats and is reliable and kind. Our Kitty looks relaxed and happy in the photos, which is our main goal. We'll hire Katie again for sure.
Katie was great as usual!
