Pet care experience

Looking to love your pet!

Hi! I'm Katie. I'm a social worker/therapist full-time. I have my own Korean rescue dog Mimo who has been my sidekick for 7 years and a pit-lab mix Oliver who joined us 3 years ago. I love to take them out with me. I grew up having dogs. I also have a chinchilla and many years of experience with small animals such as hamsters, ferrets, and guinea pigs. I will try to be as flexible as you need and would love to care for your pet! I'm in Sound Beach and happy to provide any verification you'd like to see. I'm caring, trustworthy, and dependable. I will care for your pet as if they are my own. I'm very responsive by call or text and will do my best to be there when you need. Thanks for reading!

Katie is the best! She is our first choice when is comes to helping out walking. Taz absolutely loves her and gets so excited whenever he sees her! We have used Katie several times and she has always been great with communicating and is very responsive.

Katie is a dream. She is the most honest, hard-working and responsible person I have ever met. Katie has her own Japanese Spitz Korean rescue pup who is loving and kind and she is the reason. She is the type of person who cares deeply and without hesitation. Not only does Katie have responsibilities at work, but she is also going back to school for her Social Work Master's degree. Her integrity is something to be admired. I would fully trust Katie, not only with my pet's life, but my own.

I have known Katie for 10+ years and she is the ultimate pet lover and dog mama to her fur baby, Mimo! Over the time I have known her, she has lovingly pet sat my fur babies on many occasions. She has bottle fed my kitten, walked and fed my golden retrievers, and even pet sat overnight! Katie is trustworthy and always has the good treats on her. You will not find a kinder, more attentive pet sitter/walker than Katie.
