You're away? We'll play all day!

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name's Katie. I’m a psychology PhD student :) I am open to all kinds of creatures! Rest assured that your pets will be given my undivided attention and the absolute best care! I have grown up surrounded by all kinds of animals- dogs, cats, goats, horses, rats, birds- really, anything you could imagine! I have a huge soft spot for all animal babies, and I adore spending time with them any chance I get. I am a bright, patient, calm person and I get along with every pet I've met. Know that your pets will be relaxed and happy while in my care. I'm the person who's on the side of the road rounding up stray dogs (we rescued my pitbull mix this way) and helping find a home for them. Both of my kitties are rescues too- one we found in a dumpster, and the other followed me home (we adamantly searched for her family, but after several weeks it appeared she did not have one).

Katie took great care of our 2 cats while we were away for 3 weeks. For trips that long we would normally leave the cats with family, but we had just moved here from Alabama a couple of weeks beforehand so that wasn't an option. I was nervous to leave them in the care of someone I didn't know, but after meeting Katie I was impressed with her professionalism and obvious love for animals. One of our cats is very nervous around strangers but he warmed up to Katie way faster than I expected. She was very gentle and patient with him which I appreciated so much. Every day Katie sent us really cute photos and notes and I could see how much the cats both enjoyed spending time with her. She played with them so much their feather toy got completely worn out (which I definitely don't mind)! Some of the things Katie did to take care of the cats were beyond what I expected - along with feeding the cats and playing with them, she also washed the bowls every day using the dishwasher, scooped the litter box, watered all of my houseplants, took in the mail and packages, and even took the trash can to the curb on trash days. She even messaged me to ask where I kept the vacuum cleaner after she noticed that our living room rug had fur on it!

Katie again took care of my cat Pepper! Although Pepper is a bit shy today Katie still made her comfortable by playing with her and give her food/water. Katie is very responsible and did a great job!

Katie is amazing! Our planned sitter fell through at the last second for one of the days we would be gone, and it was our first time leaving our newly adopted cat for the weekend so we were a bit nervous. Katie responded quickly on very short notice and put us at ease right away. She went above and beyond in caring for our extremely energetic cat, and we loved receiving updates and pictures. She even told us that our cat loved playing with a specific toy - which we know is her favorite, so clearly she spent time getting to know our kitty and giving her lots of quality attention! I'm so grateful we found Katie, and will be booking her whenever we go out of town.

I love going for walks! I’ll pick out a route beforehand, and switch it up every time so your dog doesn’t get bored. I like going to the dog park (if you’re comfortable with that) to run around and get lots of energy out! At home your pup will get lots of cuddles, treats (if allowed) and attention. I like to talk to dogs during the entire visit, and we will even practice tricks! If I’m visiting your cat, we will play with toys and I’ll give them cuddles. I usually can befriend any cat :)
