Compassionate, creative, and calm

Pet care experience

Growing up surrounded by pets instilled in me a deep love and understanding of animals. I currently share my home with my sweet cat Earl, who is truly my best friend! I have experience walking dogs of all sizes - from tiny pups to gentle giants - and I've mastered the art of winning over even the most cautious cats. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I'm committed to providing the same level of care and attention I give to Earl. Whether it's energetic walks, cozy companionship, or just making sure your furry family member feels loved while you're away, I'm here to help. Your pets will be in caring, experienced hands with someone who truly understands the bond between animals and their families.

Safety, trust & environment

I understand the importance of maintaining your pet's routine in their familiar environment. I'll follow your specific care instructions, feeding schedules, and exercise routines. I'm comfortable administering basic medications if needed and will keep your home secure and tidy while providing your pet with consistent attention and companionship.

Information Katie H. would like to know about your pet

Essential Information I Need About Your Pet: Health & Safety: Any medical conditions, medications, allergies, or dietary restrictions. I also need to know about any behavioral triggers or fears so I can create a comfortable environment for your pet. Routine & Preferences: Their normal feeding schedule, favorite treats, exercise needs, and preferred activities. Does your dog have a favorite walking route? Does your cat have a special hiding spot when nervous? Personality Quirks: Is your pet social or shy? Do they need time to warm up to new people? Are they food motivated or prefer toys? Understanding their unique personality helps me provide the best care. Emergency Contacts: Your vet's information and any emergency contacts, plus clear instructions on what constitutes an emergency situation for your specific pet. House Rules & Boundaries: Where are they allowed in the house? Any furniture restrictions? Special toys or areas that are off-limits? Communication Preferences: How often you'd like updates and your preferred method (text, photos, calls). The more I know about your pet's individual needs and personality, the better I can ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Every pet is unique, and I want to honor what makes yours special!

A typical day

I tailor each walk to your dog's energy level and needs - whether it's a leisurely stroll for senior dogs or an energetic adventure for high-energy pups. I always bring water for longer walks and pay close attention to your dog's comfort and safety. for cats or pets who prefer to stay home, I provide feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and plenty of affection. I'm particularly good at reading cat body language and know how to approach even shy or skittish cats to build trust and provide comfort.
