Safety, trust & environment

I maintain your pet’s routine while giving them lots of attention and care. Whether it’s feeding, walking, administering medication, or just keeping them company, I’ll treat your home and pet with the utmost respect. I also provide updates and photos, so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

Information Katie L. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for a pet, I like to know their routine, temperament, and any special needs to keep them comfortable and happy. I ask about feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, and favorite activities, as well as any medical needs or training cues. Understanding their personality—whether they’re playful, shy, or energetic—helps me provide the best care. I also make sure to have emergency contacts on hand for peace of mind. My goal is to keep your pet safe, happy, and well-cared for while you’re away!

A typical day

I tailor activities to each pet’s personality and energy level to ensure they have fun and stay engaged! Some activities include: Dogs: Walks around the neighborhood or park, playtime with toys, tug-of-war, fetch, and plenty of belly rubs. If they enjoy socializing, we might visit a pet-friendly spot or go on a nature trail adventure. Cats: Interactive play with feather wands and laser pointers, puzzle toys for mental stimulation, and cozy cuddle time (if they’re up for it). Other Pets: Whether it’s supervised exploration, enrichment activities, or simply keeping them company, I make sure every pet gets the attention they need. I always prioritize safety, comfort, and fun, making sure your pet feels happy and loved while you’re away!

Pet care experience

I’m a dedicated pet lover with experience caring for animals of all sizes, including my own 22-pound Maine Coon cat. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, playtime, or cozy care while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate special requests to ensure your furry friend feels happy and safe. I’d love to meet your pet—let’s set up a meet-and-greet!

Katie was amazing and very trustworthy. This was our first time using Rover.com and its not easy trusting just anyone to housesit. I would recommend Katie to anyone who needs a house/dogsitter.

Katie licher is a very sweet and caring person. She has much experiance with dogs and training them and loving them. She is a certified service dog trainer and gets dogs and trains them. She is very sweet to animals and knows how to take care of them. I think katie licher would be a great dog sitter and caretaker.

Katie is a great caretaker of all sorts of pets. She has dog sat for my family many times. She always goes above and beyond when taking care of our german shepard. She is full of love and will make your pet feel comfortable and safe.
