Pet care experience

Dependable & experienced sitter!

I have 10+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and energy levels, from playful puppies to easygoing seniors. I’m especially comfortable with high energy dogs, anxious pets, and those who thrive on structure and routine. I always keep in mind I’m stepping into their space, not the other way around! I’ve cared for multi-pet households and pets with specific needs, including administering medications and injections. I bring a calm, steady energy that helps pets feel safe while still matching their vibe, whether that’s a long walk, playtime, or relaxing at home. Because I work remotely, your pets won’t be left alone for long. I’m reliable, attentive, and share regular photo updates and messages so you always know they’re happy and well cared for!

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is my number one priority! Including leashes, feeding routines, securing doors, and any special instructions about your property or pets is most important to me. I pay attention to the small details, am patient with your pet's needs, and try to keep everything consistent, calm, and stress free. I understand the trust that comes with leaving your pet (and home) in someone’s care, and I take that seriously. My goal is always to leave things exactly as I found them and with happy, well cared for animals.

After many years, my longtime pet sitter moved away, and I was nervous about finding someone new to trust with my 8-year-old Bengal kitty, who has some health issues. I recently switched to Katie, and she has been awesome! She’s incredibly thorough and has great attention to detail. I can tell she takes his health needs seriously and genuinely cares about doing things right. It’s clear she’s someone I can trust with my cat, and I’m so glad I found her.

Katie is the best - not only is she very professional, she also has a special gift with animals. She loves them and they love her. I have two rescue dogs and she has watched my fur babies often. One of my dogs is difficult on walks and has problems with other dogs but Katie handles him very well.

Schedule

I work remotely, which allows me to be flexible and present throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, morning walks/lunch walks, drop ins, feeding, and playtime are part of my daily flow, not something I squeeze in. Your pets won’t be left alone for long and can stick closely to their usual schedule. I’m also happy to accommodate early mornings, evenings, weekends, and last minute bookings when possible.

To give your pet the best care possible, I like to understand: Their daily routine (feeding, walks, sleep habits) Energy level and exercise needs Any anxiety, triggers, or behavioral quirks Medical needs, medications, or allergies How they do with other pets, people, or new environments What they enjoy most (toys, activities, favorite spots) The more I know, the better I can make their time feel safe, familiar, and even a little fun while you’re away.
