Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable, Experienced Pet Lover
I've been caring for dogs for over 20 years and have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they're away. I understand that every pet has their own routine and comfort level, so I take the time to follow your instructions closely and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing fetch, or just relaxing with company, I'll tailor my care to their needs. I'm dependable, organized, and a great communicator. You'll receive updates and photos during every visit so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own because I know how important they are to your family.

Ratings and reviews
She was absolutely amazing and took such great care of my animals, she sent daily updates and pictures of how they were doing along with the activities they did for the day. Would happily book with her again to take care of my 3 boys!!
Katie had been so helpful to me! Anytime my partner and I go away for an extended amount of time, she’s always the one that we think of to watch our cats for us! She’s always been punctual and extremely reliable!
Katie has been absolutely incredible with our boxer, Bubba. Finding someone you trust with your dog is never easy, but Katie has exceeded every expectation. She has been our dog walker, has watched Bubba in our home, and has also welcomed him into hers. No matter where he stays, I know he is safe, loved, and genuinely cared for. She treats him like he's part of her own family, and that kind of peace of mind is priceless. Katie is dependable, communicative, and incredibly thoughtful. She always keeps us updated with messages and photos, and it's obvious from Bubba's excitement every time he sees her just how much he loves being with her. He comes home happy, relaxed, and well cared for every single time. If you're looking for someone who is trustworthy, responsible, and truly has a heart for animals, I can't recommend Katie highly enough. She has become someone we completely rely on, and I wouldn't hesitate for a second to trust her with Bubba again. We are so grateful to have found her!

Schedule
Pet care is already a regular part of my everyday life. I have a flexible schedule, so I can easily build walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting into my week. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, and I love getting to know each pet's personality and routine. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and I always keep owners updated while they're away.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I know every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routine and make them feel comfortable. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or mine, I'll follow feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any other instructions exactly as requested. I believe consistency helps pets feel safe and relaxed while you're away. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly apartment that's right next to a park, so dogs have easy access to walks, fresh air, and exercise throughout the day. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for every pet to feel loved, comfortable, and cared for like they're part of my own family.
Pets
A typical day
I love making sure every pet gets the kind of attention and activity that's right for them. We'll go on walks, play fetch or tug, enjoy puzzle toys, practice basic commands with lots of positive reinforcement, and spend plenty of time playing and cuddling. For cats, I enjoy interactive wand toys, laser play, enrichment games, and giving them affection on their terms. If your pet is more laid-back or a senior, I'm just as happy to provide quiet companionship, gentle strolls, and lots of love. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, happy, and excited to see me each time I visit.

- Before any booking, I'd love to know your pet's routine, personality, and any special needs so I can make them feel as comfortable as possible. Please let me know about feeding schedules, medications, favorite activities, house rules, triggers or fears, how they interact with other people and animals, and any commands they know. The more I know about your pet, the better I can provide the same love, care, and routine they're used to while you're away.
