Safety, trust & environment

I treat every animal like they're part of the family. I love to spoil them with attention and make sure they get plenty of pets before I leave.

Information Katie M. would like to know about your pet

I'm happy to watch any breed of dog! I just ask that you let me know if your dog tends to pull on the leash or isn’t comfortable around other dogs.

A typical day

I love taking dogs for walks to places like the park or the riverwalk, where they can explore and enjoy the outdoors. I also make sure to spend quality time playing with them to help them burn off energy and stay happy before I leave!

Pet care experience

Hello! I’m Katie, a University of South Carolina graduate and full-time HR professional who loves spending time with animals. While I work Monday through Friday during regular business hours (approximately 9:00 AM–5:00 PM), I am available for pet care before and after work, on weekends, and on many holidays. I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. My family fosters animals until they find their forever homes, which has given me hands-on experience with everything from young puppies and kittens to senior pets and animals with special needs. I understand that every pet is different and strive to provide the individualized care, attention, and patience they deserve. Whether your pet needs a drop-in visit, a walk, or companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Thank you for considering me, and I hope to connect with you soon!
