Will love your fur baby like my own

Pet care experience

Hey there! My name is Katie and I have been obsessed with animals for as long as I can remember! So much so that I now have a career focused on providing pet insurance. In the past I worked overtime frequently so I know what it’s like to be thinking about your fur baby while at work and wishing there was someone trustworthy to play with and walk them when you’re not there! I ended up sending him to a sitter but wanted to make sure they were going to love him like I would and that he would also have fun and socialize. Now I want to help others that are in similar situations and hang out with some cool pets in the process! I’ve lived with and taken care of a variety of animals my whole life. While in high school and college I started caring for others animals as well as taking in a pug (Mr. Tiki) for 3 months while the owners were displaced from hurricane Sandy. I moved to FL about 9 years ago and only lasted 6 months before getting my own fur baby and best friend Charles, my bulldog mix. I’ve been pet sitting for the past 5 years and have developed many good relationships with my previous clients and their fur babies in FL and established recurring pet care for them. I have cared for puppies, kittens, high energy dogs, giant dogs, and senior pets. It was hard to say goodbye to my clients, but I recently moved back to NJ and wish to continue these services and provide some loving to new pets here! I am comfortable with all dogs and cats and understand through personal experience and providing insurance that each breed has their own personalities and specific needs. Thank you for checking out my profile! I hope to hear from you soon! You and your pet will be my top priority and I will love them like my own! If your pup has a specific path they like to walk please send me the route so I can make both of your experiences enjoyable and comforting! 🐾

Katie did drop in visits to fill gaps in coverage we had with our in-house sitter while away. She was great with our baby and we are so grateful for her services. Will definitely be booking again. Thank you Katie!

Katie was fantastic. She met with us and our pets 2 times before our booking to make sure everything was perfect. Our schedule changed last minute and Katie was happy to modify the arrangement with short notice. She was a life saver and our pets were well cared for. We will book her again!

Katie is the best. Knowing that our dogs are in good hands and getting all the snuggles and attention they love gives us peace of mind to enjoy our vacations.
