I work remotely from home with a flexible schedule, so my babies are very spoiled! We bathe in the sun multiple times a day and go on walks as much as possible. Because I work remotely, I can easily accommodate drop ins or walks throughout the day.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a very secure fenced yard for my dogs and our cat is not allowed outside (we live off a busy road). I’m very careful of not letting animals out if they aren’t allowed. My pets are all on wellness plans and get regular vaccines and flea/heartworm protection.

Information Katie H. would like to know about your pet

Any special needs, medications, or things I should avoid (doesn’t like feet touched, can’t have treats, activity preferences). I’m very flexible with any animal’s needs.

A typical day

Walks with lots of time for sniffing! I love both active time (if suitable for the animal) as well as cuddling. Anything that helps stimulate their mind and makes them feel loved.

Loving, Reliable Care for Your Pet

Pet care experience

Reliable, Loving Care for Your Pet — Just Like Family 🤍 As a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet owner, caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve spent years around dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities—from Golden Retrievers and Miniature Schnauzers to Pit Bulls, mixed breeds, and plenty of cats along the way. Each pet is unique, and I truly enjoy getting to know their individual personalities, routines, and what makes them happiest. I know that trusting someone else with your pet is a big decision. My goal is always to make both you and your pet feel completely comfortable. When your pet is with me, they’ll be treated like one of my own—with patience, attention, and lots of love. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, playtime and stimulation, or simply a calm and reassuring presence while you’re away, I’m happy to adapt to their needs. I’m very attentive to instructions and comfortable following specific routines, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise requirements, and any special care requests. What you can expect when I care for your pet: • Plenty of attention, affection, and playtime • Walks and activity tailored to your dog’s energy level • Careful attention to feeding schedules and routines • Comfortable handling different temperaments and personalities • Updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and safe • Flexible care based on your pet’s specific needs I truly love spending time with animals and believe they deserve patience, kindness, and respect. My goal is always to create a safe, fun, and comfortable experience for your pet while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring and reliable hands.
