A typical day
My motto is “a tired pet is a good pet”. For cats, playing with their favorite toy(s), giving them all the pets, and spending quality time with them. For dogs, a long walk, trip to the park, playing with treat puzzles, and all the belly rubs ensure they feel well enriched and loved.

Insured & WFH Animal Lover!
Pet care experience
I treat every animal as if they’re my own! I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, and horses since I was a teenager. I grew up with large dogs - having 3 Labrador’s in my lifetime. I also grew up with multiple cats. I currently have two cats of my own with my husband, named Ozzy and Willis. Family and friends have relied on me to care for their animals with the utmost attention. I always make sure I know everything about your pet to ensure proper care. I’m always willing to meet virtually or in-person to see if it is a mutual fit for care. I also have a car which allows more flexibility and peace of mind in case of an emergency.
Reviews

Katie was great with our 2 yr old German Shepard for a first walk. She was prompt, professional, and Betty really did well with her. Katie is now our go- to dog walker!

Katie is phenomenal. She has been patient with my reactive dog. I know Bindi is in great hands when Katie drops by


Katie was fabulous, she took great care of Jasper & Joe. She sent 3 messages a day, along with a few pics. Messages & pics were incredibly helpful in my not worrying about Jasper & Joe. Overall, a great experience. I would highly recommend Katie for your pet needs.

Katie is absolutely the best
