Safety, trust & environment

I have two cats at the moment and one small dog! I grew up with animals my whole life and have 13 years of experience in animal care involving rescue, special care, as well as adoption since 2010-present. I have successfully rescued many animals including dogs, cats, turtles, rabbits, birds, and even tadpoles! I am hoping to open an animal shelter in the future to help people see the kind souls that are lost in the streets alone. My experience also includes cat/dog walking and pet sitting.

Information Katie I. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any special conditions your pet might have, or if they need any special medication. Describe your pet's personality, and mention if they are friendly or if they bite. Also, I would like to know how is your pet with other animals/people?

A typical day

I love adventure and a friend would make it more exciting! I would love to bring your pet with me on long and fun walks. I like to run/jog if your pet does! A park, pond and around the neighbourhood are great places just to relax and walk with a buddy (away from traffic areas of course!) I will make sure your pet isn’t bored, we will play your pet's favourite games to keep them entertained!

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Katie and all pets are welcome in my care! I have experience caring for many species and breeds of different ages, from newborns to senior pets! This includes any medication administration. Such as asthma, oral/injectable/topical medication, etc. Please don’t hesitate to ask :) I am currently working towards becoming a veterinarian technician. I previously graduated from college with my program majoring in Animal Care (ACAR) with honours! I also know pet CPR just in case. I am bilingual with fluent verbal and written skills in Greek and English. I will always send photos of your pets unless stated otherwise! I enjoy pet photography and having a fun time with my new furry friends running around

Katie was an excellent sitter. Our cat Luna is usually shy but warmed up very quickly with Katie! The communication and photos were great, would recommend to anyone looking for a reliable sitter for their cat :)

Katie was absolutely wonderful with our cat and truly went above and beyond while we were away. She was thoughtful, attentive, and always one step ahead. Her communication gave me so much peace of mind, especially during our long time away. I really appreciated her care, flexibility, and how genuinely she seemed to care about our cat’s well-being. I’m very grateful to her and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and reliable sitter.
