Pet care experience

Pet Staycation Service

People have asked me to care for their pets since I was just young. Mostly because I care and connect so easily with animals. But also because I live such a free lifestyle and available to do so. My goal is to be flexible and accommodate your pets every day schedule to alleviate anxiety and stress while you are gone, for them and for you! I should start taking more selfie's with the animals I care for ;-). My photo gallery shows some of the pets I have babysat over the years. I am happy to take on pets with special needs (i.e. medications, disabilities, meal accommodations, etc.).

Safety, trust & environment

My residence is currently not pet friendly, but I am happy to care for them at yours! In my experience, pets tend to do better in the environment they are familiar with. It keeps them at ease and relaxed while you are away.

I cannot recommend Katie enough! My cat Louie is truly like my child, so leaving him while I went on a backpacking trip in Glacier was a big deal. Katie immediately put me at ease. Louie has specific food restrictions and wasn’t allowed outside at the time, plus I asked that he get dedicated playtime each day to keep him stimulated. Katie followed everything perfectly. Every single day I received pictures and videos of Louie, along with little updates about what they did together. It was clear he was happy, healthy, and completely comfortable in her care. When I came home, our house was as spotless as we left it, and honestly, Louie wasn’t even that excited to see us—which says everything about how well Katie cared for him! Katie is reliable, responsible, trustworthy, and an absolute animal lover. You can 100% trust that your pets will be loved and cared for as if they were her own. She is truly amazing!

I would highly recommend Katie as a pet sitter. I am the owner of 3 Basset Hounds, and Katie has cared for my pets on numerous occasions, she’s thoughtful and caring, and understands that albeit they may all be dogs, they don’t all have the same personality, and she adjusts for each one.

Schedule

This winter I am able to be flexible and cater to the needs of what your pets schedule looks like. In my experience, it is much better to accommodate the schedule they currently have instead of trying to fit mine.

16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
