Pet care experience

Your go-to dog and cat lover!

I have been an avid animal lover from a young age. We had everything from dogs to cats to rabbits and gerbils, and even snakes. I've taken care of puppies and old dogs, and everything in between. I enjoy all aspects of training, and have worked with nearly every breed of dog. My schedule is open so pet care is my primary focus! I have plenty of time to give cats and pups an abundance of pets and affection and play/exercise time. Just as our routine is important to us, I try to keep pets on the same schedule that they are used to with meal times, walk times, potty breaks, etc. Keeping pets happy and safe is vital, so I make sure to pay close attention to surroundings on walks and make sure pets don't have access to anything harmful in the home.

Safety, trust & environment

I like to keep things consistent and follow instructions to the tee in the home and on walks. Safety is an utmost priority and I stay aware of the environment at all times.

Katie is great! Quick and easy communication and I think our dog Addie really enjoyed seeing a friendly face during the day 😊 I will definitely be booking again!

We appreciate Katie’s good care of our sweet cat. Our cat looked super content in the last picture she sent while brushing her. We also are pleased at how quickly she gets back to us each time we request to book.

Lovely to meet Katie when she visited to collect a key; a nice update sent via Rover, with three photos which was great to see. Peace of mind sorted! Thanks, Katie!

Please let me know if your pet requires any special attention or care or has any behaviors that I should be aware of. I want to make sure that your pet has the kind of attention that it needs, as well as keep up with training needs.
