Pet care experience

YOUR PET'S 2ND BEST FRIEND :)

I love all pets! I have taken care of anything from a 130 pound dog to a crested gecko and tarantula, any pet you have I would love to meet. I know leaving home is hard and I understand how important pets are. Your pets are family, so my job is to keep them in the same safe and loving environment that you give them each day. I have been around animals since I was a kid so I am experienced with administering medication through injections, pills, and topical creams. I have also cared for pets with special needs and dogs who experience seizures, so I have the knowledge to handle those types of situations too.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

First and foremost I want to keep your pets comfortable in their own home. I believe it is super important to let all animals get to know me at their own pace because their comfort comes first. For me to make your transition home as easy as possible, I like to maintain the same routine for them that you set up. And last but certainly not least I understand that this is your home along your pet(s), I uphold the respect and privacy that should always been seen when being in someone else's space.

Katie is a phenomenal sitter and walker. We have 2 frenchies, one of which a recent rescue. She cared for them for a week and took such good care of them while we were gone. Both dogs just love her and became so sweet and comfortable with her. She checked in with us multiple times each day with pics and updates! She’s the perfect house guest, super helpful with small tasks like garbage and mail. Kept the house tidy while we were gone! She’s our go to for our pups!

This was our first time having someone stay at our house to watch our two frenchies and I couldn’t be happier! Katie was wonderful with the pups and the daily photos allowed us to relax, knowing that they’re being well taken care of.

Katie exceeded our expectations. You can tell she is a true dog lover. She made our boy feel comfortable while we were gone. Great with communication and sending pictures daily. We will definitely use her again.

Our dog had a wonderful experience! Katie was caring, reliable, and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the stay. It was clear Kobe was happy, well-exercised, and treated like family. She also took great care of our home and kept everything clean and well maintained while we were away. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a spotless house, which gave us great peace of mind. We highly recommend Katie and will definitely book again!

Katie was amazing taking care of my senior dog for a week! My dog doesn't get around good due to her back legs and Katie was so good to support her getting up steps etc. Always made sure she had her daily medicine. Also got daily pictures which always gave me peace of mind being so far away. Would definetly use her again and recommend her to anyone!

I’m comfortable working weekends and weekdays so that they always have a friend like me around.
