Flexible Schedule, Walks & Sitting!

Pet care experience

I am an animal lover and have had all sorts of pets growing up—cats, dogs, fish, birds etc. I am not able to have a pet at this time because I have a busy schedule and move around a lot but rest assured I will treat your pet like my own! I will prioritize your pet's safety and happiness first and make sure I am in contact with you whenever I am with them. If walking, I will make sure your pet is fully hydrated and always watch out for cars and bikers. I am fully vaccinated.

Katie was fantastic with our dog Buddy! She stayed at our house with him for several days while we were on a trip and did a great job taking care of him and communicating with us throughout.

Katie was great with our cockapoo, Mocha for a day/night.! It was our wedding day and she still kept us updated throughout the stay. Mocha was happy as could be!

I would certainly use Katie again. She was incredibly responsive and was phenomenal with my two small chihuahuas. One of my dogs is very distrusting of new adults, but Katie was incredibly patient and kind and easily one my dog over. I consider her completely trustworthy and highly recommend her if you are in the Cambridge/Allston area.

Katie is one of the most caring people I know. She takes immense pride in everything she does and I know that would extend to her providing the best experience possible for you and your furry loved ones. She is amazing with both of our pups (sheltie mix and terrier mix) and we trust her readily to stay in our home as she is responsible and trustworthy. You’d be silly not to pick her!

I am not currently able to accept pets in my apartment. But I am happy to care for your pets from yours should you need it!

Information Katie L. would like to know about your pet

If your pet has any special needs or behaviors I should know about I am all ears. For example, if your dog is a rescue and doesn't like being touched in a particular place, just let me know! Happy to accommodate your pet's needs.

A typical day

I tailor activities to your pet's needs! I'm happy hanging out and working on my laptop if they are a napper, or playing and tiring them out on walks / runs / at the dogpark. My preference is to walk where you suggest or somewhere near where you live that they are familiar with.

I am currently in graduate school, so I am doing this because I love taking care of and spending time with animals and to help out with expenses. My schedule is flexible. ** Please note I do not have a car, so if you live farther than 5 miles away from me I will most likely not be able to do weekday sitting. Weekends would be fine!
