Pet care experience

Your pet is my priority!

*NOTICE* At this time, I work Thursdays through Sundays from 9 am to 4 pm. Currently better suited for cats or dogs who are used to their humans going to work during the day. Thank you! I've always loved animals, and have had dogs in the home since I was a very young child. I have experience raising puppies, caring for senior dogs, and caring for dogs with physical limitations. I have been house/pet sitting for years as well, and neighbors and friends have always trusted me to take excellent care of their dogs, cats, fish, etc. I can promise you I'll love your pet like they're my own! I will be more than happy to send cute photos of your pet to you as an update!

Safety, trust & environment

I am relatively flexible and can adapt to many types of situations and care routines. I can keep dogs crated if needed, or they can sleep on the bed with me! I've dealt with picky eaters before, and have picked up a few tricks! I'll make sure your pet takes any medications, and although I do not have experience with giving shots at this time, I am more than willing to learn. Depending on the dog, time between potty breaks will vary between 1 and 4 hours during the day when I am not at work. Please feel free to make any special requests and I will honor them to the best of my ability!

Katie was amazing with our puppy Cove, who can definitely be a handful! She was patient, loving, and kept us updated the whole time.

Katie went the extra mile in putting my dog’s boots on so he could have a more enjoyable walk in the snow ❄️ Appreciate the kindness and love she showed him.

Katie is reliable and very caring of my blind Pit Bull. I would love to use her services more.

If I could rate Katie more than five stars I would, she was AMAZING! My husband and I went up to Traverse for an extended weekend and one of our dogs began to experience some tummy issues, this was absolute my worst nightmare. She kept me updated on how he was doing and when I called my vet who recommended he go on a bland diet she even went out to the store to get the items needed. We were incredibly grateful for her and will be using her again. This has nothing to do with dog sitting but she left our home spotless washed all the bedding and towels she used we came home to an immaculate home. We highly recommend her.

Schedule

I usually work from 11-5 on Sunday-Wednesday. I have some evening activities here and there, but other than this, I will be able to spend plenty of time with your pet! I understand, though, that this schedule may not be suitable for some. I will try to work with you if at all possible. I will be updating my calendar regularly to show any change in my schedule. I offer overnight house-sitting, walks, and drop-in visits.

16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs

Katie can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Please let me know if there are any issues I should know about. I need to be prepared for medical situations, any social issues like aggression toward other animals, food aggression, etc. so that I can best care for your pet.
