Availability

I work for Fairfax County Public Schools in the Administration office and am home every day by 3pm during the week. Please provide their normal schedule for feeding time and exercise so I can maintain this while you are away. I offer overnight stays aimed for those that work night shifts that would need to be dropped off in the afternoon/evening and picked up by 4am the next morning. I offer to come pick up your pet and take you to the airport and you can leave your car at your home.

Safety, trust & environment

They will have free run of the house and will be taken on frequent walks. Bull Run Park is near the property that has miles of trails and a creek nearby and if they like to swim. I will follow your instructions, walking times, feeding time, medication etc. I don't have cameras in my home but I will take pictures and videos of your pet every day and send them to you so that you know they are happy and healthy. It's important that they are not aggressive, and are cat/dog/people friendly. The safety and welfare of your pet is my #1 priority. I do insist on a meet and greet prior to drop off to see if they are ok with this environment. This will help them get comfortable being here with you and I find this reduces their stress during drop off.

Information Katie H. would like to know about your pet

Food Schedule, how often and how much do they eat? Do they have injuries? Do I need to administer Medications? Number/name of Vet you use? Diet restrictions? Usual schedule the dog is used to. Are there things you don't want me to feed your dog or things you have restrictions on? Are they house broken? Will you be bringing their food/meds? How often is the dog (s) used to walking? What restrictions do you have on walking them? Are they fleas/tick free?

A typical day

My typical day will depend on what schedule your pet is used to, so a detailed schedule is from you is important. I will be home all day with them and they can hang out on the couch and at night sleep in bed if that's something they are used to.

Katie was incredible with my two cats while I was on vacation for 3 weeks. She understands cat behavior well and very quickly got the trust and friendship from my cats. She goes above and beyond to make sure they’re comfortable and having fun.

Teddy loves staying with Katie and her cats! She’s super responsive, provides consistent updates, and always makes me feel at ease while I’m away. Teddy has stayed with her a few times now, and I never have to worry because I know he’s in great hands. He absolutely loves playing with her cats and always comes home happy from all the fun. I would definitely recommend Katie to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!

Katie was amazing! Teddy had such a fun time with her and her cats. Even though I booked last minute, she was so accommodating. She kept me updated throughout the day and was great with communication. I’d definitely love for her to watch Teddy again in the future!
