Highlights
Pet care experience
Veterinary Technician petsitter
Hi! I have over 15 years experience in veterinary medicine and pet sitting. I have experience with many different types of pets. I have both cats and dogs in my home. Dogs that come to stay overnights must be spayed or neutered, fairly well behaved, good with other dogs and cats. Dogs be housetrained or crate trained (puppies are exempt). Dogs Must be up to date on rabies vaccine. no extra charge for administering medications.I have a vast knowledge of common pet ailments, health, diseases and behavior as I worked for almost 20 years in the veterinary field . I also do visits to homes if you have cats or pets that can’t leave the home. I have experience with smaller farm animals like goats, pigs and chickens. I work from home a couple days a week and I’m home on weekends. On the days I’m not working from home I have a flexible schedule. I am very careful opening doors and always keep dogs on leash unless their owners have told me they are ok to be off leash. I work from home 2 days a week and am home on weekends. I come home for lunch on the days I go into the office and my schedule is flexible. Dogs and cats that come to our home are treated like part of the family. I do use crates if needed for safety when I’m not home.

Ratings and reviews
Thank you so much!! The note cracked us up, if it makes you feel any better they’re both terrible at actually returning anything they chase, lol.
Katie was very sweet and also you can tell she is very experienced with animals. She was flexible on our arrival/pick up time which we appreciated very much.
Katie was fantastic and very accommodating. Beaks was well cared for!
Katie did a good job getting the insulin shots done for my cat, who can sometimes put up a fight... great to have someone with medical knowledge and experience watching my girls
Absolute best! Thank you for always being prompt with the check ins! You really earned Dinahs trust which is amazing. I feel so much better knowing she was so well taken care of
Katie did a wonderful job watching our labs. They’ve stayed with her twice now, and each time she has been reliable, attentive, and incredibly caring. It’s obvious she treats our dogs with the same love and affection she has for her own adorable pup, Crumb, and they always seem to have a great time with her. Right before their most recent stay, one of our labs developed an ear infection, and Katie was kind enough to add ear medication to her care routine on short notice without hesitation. That level of flexibility and compassion gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t be happier with the care our dogs received and would absolutely trust Katie with them again and again. Highly recommend!

Schedule
I have a flexible schedule and can make visits most days of the week. I work from home part time so dogs staying with me will have minimal alone time.
