I’m a pet care business owner so I care for pets close to full time! They are everything to me and I absolutely adore my job and everything that it brings into my life! I love being active and adventuring around my favorite cities, or even finding more beautiful places traveling for clients! I love ending my day knowing I changed lives and made an impact in not only pets but pet parents!

Safety, trust & environment
I value communication, honesty and trust! I would never assume anything and I would always ask. Your privacy, their well being and trust between us are my biggest priorities regardless of service. I often find myself sending tooooo many cute pictures updates, sorry pet parents!
Information Katie M. would like to know about your pet
I appreciate information such as breed, triggers, age, gender, their favorite tricks to practice. If the breed has any special needs, such as being carried, heat issues etc. (Corgis have bad back issues, sometimes needs to be carried up and down stairs) I thrive off detailed notes and love extra explanations on behavior! I love to hear funny stories and quirks your pet may have!
A typical day
I absolutely adore 1on1 walks and I have found that pets bond with their caregivers in a more positive manner being able to spend time with them alone! I’ve ventured away from dog parks, but I do love to walk and explore parks at a safe and respectful distance of others! If a pup is not as active, I adore couch cuddles and movie nights at home just as much!

The best therapy is furry.
Pet care experience
Hi! I’m Katie & I love all things furry! I’m a verified and experienced pet caregiver of close to 5 years now. Growing up I would assist the elderly or my neighbors with their pets in terms of feeding, bathing, etc I’ve always been around pets and small animals my whole life and I’m so happy to have found a career I absolutely love and can’t wait to see how many pups lives I can change from here on out! I take this job very seriously and the health and well-being of every animal in my care is the #1 highest priority aside from your home. I am background checked, and I look forward to treating your home with respect and loving your pet as you would. I look forward to meeting you, your family & your fur babies! Disclaimer: My day care is only available at your home but I leave the requests open for the possibilities.

Reviews
Katie is absolutely wonderful with our cats! She always takes time to play with them, make sure their food and water is replenished, and gives them plenty of pets. Katie is so reliable and we can count on her! We highly recommend Katie for all of your pet needs!
I hired katie to pet sit my cat, Mia, for two days. The first day was excellent—she arrived on time, provided great communication throughout the day, and sent plenty of picture and video updates that gave me peace of mind. I really appreciated her attention to detail and the care she showed. However, the second day was not as smooth. While she was still punctual, I didn't receive many updates, which was a bit disappointing after such a great first impression. I was hoping that since Mia had warmed up to Katie the first day, that she would encourage her to play the second day. Mia is a kitten so she needs playtime, yet she mentioned needing to leave the shift early, which wasn’t part of our original agreement. Overall, the experience was mixed. The first day gave me confidence in her abilities, but the inconsistency on the second day makes me hesitant to book again in the future. With a little more reliability, she'd be a solid choice.
Katie was great. I was kept informed on my kitties, and they were well fed, boxes were cleaned and I got pictures. So reassuring to know someone was checking on them will use her again!
Katie is amazing! I have a senior, immobile dog who needs extra help getting outside and Katie handled him beautifully, using a sling to walk him and giving him extra love. She also got him to take his medicine, no problem. Her communication is also outstanding, texts regarding visit times, updates and pictures in real time, and then to top it off she offered to bring in my garbage cans! This was my first time leaving my dog overnight since he became immobile so it was hard for me, but Katie made things so much easier!!!!
