A great helping hand!

Pet care experience

You couldn't pick a better person to take care of your dog and/or cat! About this sitter: My name is Katie and I am here to provide great service to you! Let me give you a little background about my experience. When I was fifteen years old I started "Katie's Pet Sitting" company and cared for dog/cats that lived nearby. I met with potential clients and their pets to get to know them better and from there I took care of their pet on a schedule. From regular walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and boarding. I gave multiple long walks throughout the day, fed them, administered medication, and of course, talked to them and loved on them as if they were my own. In my free time I love taking care of my friends dogs and cats! You can trust me to take very good care of your animal, who I completely understand is part of your family. I can do anything! From taking him/her on play-dates to giving baths! Why I love dog sitting: Sometimes it's hard to explain why you love what you do, but I'll try to put it simply. These animals we call pets are just like us. They need love, attention, affection, and care. They love to be talked to, played with, fed, see familiar faces and new ones. It brings me so much joy to spend time with animals, to help out their owner, and know I've given the best part of myself. Meet my pets: Growing up I had a black lab named Layla and a cat named, Angel. I have been an animal lover since I could walk! When I was little I begged my dad for cats and dogs and he gave in to the point that I had four cats and four dogs. My experience administering medication: Yes, I am absolutely comfortable administering medication. I have had to give dogs chewable tablet, give cat ear drops, administering antibiotics via syringe, administering monthly SAFE flea and tick medication. I will never administer anything that is unsafe for your animal.

Katie was great. Our dogs had so much fun hanging out at her house for a few days. Definitely recommend and will definitely book again in the future.

Katie is the most generous and selfless person I know! She would throw herself under a bus for anyone. Katie has always been a big animal lover. She is kind, fun, patient, responsible and so loving. She is without a doubt my number one choice to take care of my pup!

If you are looking for someone who will take wonderful care of your pup, Katie is the best! I have a special needs pup who is diabetic, blind and deaf and I was really nervous leaving him with someone. I showed Katie his regimen and she made me feel at ease right away. She sent me pictures and updates every day and took my sweet boy out for walks and loved on him just like I would. If you are looking for someone who is kind, responsive, and responsible, Katie is your girl! I HIGHLY recommend her to everyone.

Information Katie J. would like to know about your pet

Before sitting him or her I would love to know their likes and dislikes. Do they like to be walked at a certain time? Do they like to be held? Are they uncomfortable being with new people? If there is anything you can think of and want to share...

A typical day

Greenfield Lake is one of my favorite places to walk. Parks around town. The beach + bath for extravagant walks.
