Safety, trust & environment

If I care for your pet in my home I will provide a large fenced yard for playing and a safe neighborhood with a park in walking distance. I have a 8 year old Catahoula mix who will be here. She is gentle and kind with other dogs. She prefers dogs who respect her boundaries but gets along with just about every dog. In the rare case a dog is ever not a match for my dog and I am boarding, I will take her to my parents’ home to ensure comfort of your pet. Eva is not a cat gal, so boarding for cats is not a service I provide, but I can watch them in your home! It can be scary to trust others with your pet so I am quick to communicate, send pics and updates to ensure your pet is in safe, loving hands.

Experienced Animal Lover 🐕

Pet care experience

Hello! I grew up in an animal loving family and this has continued into my life as an adult. I am a licensed child therapist and provide animal care in my off hours! I foster dogs through Stray Rescue/Stray Paws and also work part time at a wildlife clinic. My dog is my best friend, and I intend to treat yours as I'd hope someone would mine. I can't wait to give your pets lots of love.

Katie was AMAZING. It’s never fun leaving your pet behind for a couple of days, but we felt so comfortable with Milo there and he seemed to be right at home. We got plenty pictures and updates while we were away and he came home a happy dog!! :)

I moved to STL and had to travel less than a week later. My cat was unusually a bit skittish in a new place amongst a bunch of boxes. Katie came through for me on very short notice and made me feel comfortable that she had my buddy covered. Thank you Katie!
