Katie can care for

Cats

Availability

I am currently working my day job Monday thru Friday with some days working from home and some in an office. This means I am typically not available for midday care (except on weekends). So your pets should be okay with being alone for an ~8hr time period. Depending on the day/my schedule, I will be available mornings, evenings, and overnights. I am not generally available for 24/7 care, in that if I'm house sitting overnight, your pet would be alone for several hours mid day, but I would stay at your home overnight and take care of your pets first thing in the morning/before going anywhere.

Safety, trust & environment

For house sitting, drop-ins or walk-ins, I always want to schedule a meet-in-greet if I haven't cared for your pets before. That way you can show me where everything is, and I can meet both you and your pet. Then you can also tell me anything I may need to know; is your dog a door darter? do they have a harness or other equipment that keeps them more secure during walks? where are the gates to your yard, are they secured?

Information Katie F. would like to know about your pet

Do your pets have any quirks? Are they allowed on the furniture? Let me know where you walk your dogs; are there any places to avoid?

A typical day

I would love to take your dog to their favorite spots, and beyond! I love to find out what your pet enjoys, like belly rubs, their favorite toys. I always make sure to read the pet owner's instructions thoroughly - where everything is I may need in the home, is your dog crated when you're gone, etc.

Cat lady at heart

Cat care experience

I have owned multiple cats over the last 20 years. I current have 3 cats. I've also fostered many cats (over 50 from various shelters and rescues), specializing in senior cat care. I love being able to win over a shy or scared cat. I have previously medicated several diabetic cats and others with special needs.

Katie is awesome; we use her every time we go on a trip! She’s friendly and our cat loves her. Definitely recommend!

I can't thank Katie enough for taking such terrific care of Willy. I can tell from the photos she sends and also because he is happy and content when I get home. She's stayed with him before and I will be inviting her back again in the future.

Katie did an excellent job once again of taking care of my two girls - one of which is very energetic and one who needs medication. Grateful for all the pictures during the visit.

Katie has been out to take care of our fella a few times; she’s great and lives nearby. We’ll definitely be booking her again!
