Ph.D. Student who loves animals! 😁

Pet care experience

I have taken care of pets since I was about 10 and grew up on a small farm. Comfortable with dogs of all sizes and love cats and & puppies! I have a large fully fenced in yard and dog friendly home :) I have experience with dogs small and large (chihuahua to Great Dane) and am comfortable caring for each pet based on their own personal needs! High or low energy, three walks a day or some extra support for elderly dogs, I am just happy to have some time with animals 😁 I also have experience with administering oral medication, wound care, and can administer injections via intramuscular and subcutaneously if you're pet has extra veterinary needs! I do my best to stay in close contact and want you to feel as comfortable as possible with me as your sitter. I will be there to contact early morning to late at night and am available to care for your pets bright and early to super late at night -whatever you need. I try to do this most days of the week because graduate school doesn't pay to well (and I get to play with animals!!) so please reach out if you feel I am a good fit for your pet. I have multiple opportunities throughout the weekday and the weekend for walks, breaks, and care. Your pet would be supervised, in a safe environment, with lots of love if boarding is an option you are looking for too!

Katie was absolutely wonderful, and the pup enjoyed his time with her immensely. I look forward to having the pup stay with her again in the future!!

This was a great stay for my pandemic puppies! Katie’s house is all you could want in a doggie stay. She has a big back yard with lots to sniff and her home is warm and inviting. These babies loved it!
