Highlights
Pet care experience
Cat, dog, and small animal care 🐾
I’ve had pets my entire life! I have had experience pet sitting for friends and family. I currently have two cats, Frankie and Emmett, but have also kept snakes, lizards, and tropical fish. I also have three years experience as a manager at a pet store, with focus on reptile and fish husbandry as well as small animals and puppies. I love cats and dogs equally, but can also provide services for small animals, reptiles, and fish.

Safety, trust & environment
It can be stressful to leave your pet for an extended period of time. Animals thrive on routine and I am here to help maintain that. My goal is to make your pet feel like you haven't left. If you need to pretend to microwave your dog's food in order for them to eat it, you best believe I'm going to do it exactly the same way. If your cat needs to play with a specific toy for ten minutes every evening, I will ensure they get to practice being the little hunter they are! The more details, the better! I'll also always leave lines of communication open throughout visits. You will always get a detailed Rover card with plenty of photos.
Ratings and reviews
Katie did a great job taking care of my boys. I was very worried about my senior cat because of his recent health issues but she was great at accommodating his needs, including his new obsession with the heating pad and bathroom sink.
She was amazing with our two dogs. Thank you!!
Katie took wonderful care of my pets. They were very content when I returned home. Thank you Katie for your help
Katie did a great job with my cats and sent lots of pictures and detailed updates after every visit. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!
Katie was great with our dogs. Her updates were timely and adorable. She was very comforting for our dogs and we greatly appreciate her and spending times with Blue and Rocky
Repeat customers. Katie goes above and beyond, sends lots of pictures, and gave us peace of mind while traveling overseas.

Schedule
I work part-time as a contractor which gives me a flexible schedule. I typically work morning to early afternoon throughout the week, though my schedule can vary. Morning and early evening drop-in times work best for my schedule, though depending on the day I can sometimes accommodate midday drop ins. I do ask for booking requests at least 24 hours in advance and will always require a meet and greet ahead of booking for all new clients. Drop In Visits: For those wanting someone to scoop litter boxes, let dogs outside for bathroom breaks, feed and refresh water, tidying up pet messes, play-time, and keeping general routine for pets while providing company. *Drop In Visits Available Year Round Dog Walking: For those wanting someone to spend the full visit time on a walk in their neighborhood to let their dog do their business while getting out energy. *Dog Walking Available Spring-Early Fall If you require both Drop In visit needs and Dog Walking needs, please book a Drop In visit for 60 min. If your address is out of my service range, please don't hesitate to reach out! I can sometimes accommodate further destinations, but they also may incur an additional fee to cover mileage.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsKatie can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- Size, dietary restrictions, allergies, temperament, routine, medications, etc. Though I will be as accommodating as possible, if your pet requires very specific medical attention, I may not be the right fit. It's important to me that your pet establishes trust with me and will allow me to administer medications and handle them as needed. Animals need to offer consent and if they do not feel comfortable, I will never invade their space or cross their boundaries. This is what the complementary meet and greet is for!
