Pet care experience
Relax! Let me give you a hand.
Relax! Let me give you a hand. I've been caring for animals for most of my life and am happy to help keep your pets comfortable in their own home while you're away. I'm experienced with cats and dogs of all ages, including seniors and pets who need oral medications. I'm also very comfortable with the less glamorous parts of pet care — litter boxes, accidents, muddy paws and all! I know leaving your pets can be stressful, so I'll send regular photos and updates and follow their usual routine as closely as possible. I'm happy to provide plenty of attention and playtime — or give your shy cat the respectful personal space they insist upon. A few things to know when booking with me: • House sitting: My standard house-sitting stay includes overnight care, generally from about 9 PM–9 AM, plus two daytime visits. This means your pets get plenty of company, but I am not in the home continuously throughout the day. If your pet needs more frequent or constant care, please let me know before booking so we can see if I'm a good fit. • Drop-ins: Standard visits are approximately 30 minutes and include feeding, fresh water, potty/litter care, medication if needed, and some attention or playtime. • Meet & greets: I prefer to meet new dogs before the first booking and am always happy to meet cats, too! We'll go over routines, feeding, medications, quirks and anything else I should know. • While you're away: Please let me know about any cameras in the home and whether anyone else will be entering the house during my stay. I don't bring guests into clients' homes. • Most importantly: Tell me what makes your pet your pet! The weird little routines, favorite toys, preferred sleeping spots, mortal enemies, and exact location where they expect their butt scratches are all useful information.

Safety, trust & environment
I provide care in your pet’s own home, where they can stay comfortable with their normal routines and familiar surroundings. I’m respectful of both your pets and your home, and I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, medications, walks, litter boxes, potty breaks, and household routines. For house sitting, my standard schedule is generally overnight from about 9 PM–9 AM, with two additional visits during the day. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s particular routine at our meet & greet. I’ll also send regular photos and updates so you know how things are going while you’re away. Please let me know in advance about indoor cameras, anyone else who may be entering the home, and any behavioral or safety concerns I should know about.
Ratings and reviews
Katie was amazing g and took such good care of our dogs during an overnight stay!
Katie is always great with our pups. We love seeing all the pictures from her drop-in visits. We appreciate knowing they are well taken care of while we're away.
Katie is amazing!! Our little Lu was (literally) eating out of her hands from the first moment they met! Katie did a wonderful job of making sure our cat was safe and gave us peace of mind while we were away. She is super friendly and attentive and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter!
Can’t say enough about Katie - she’s always so great!
Katie is great as always, she takes such good care of our crew while we are gone!
I was a little nervous about using this method of dog sitting but after I returned I was so happy. My dog was not the usual nervous nilly when I use to pick her up at kennel. My dog sitter Katie was great! She sent me updates which made me happy. She was great with my dog and gave her all the attention she wanted.
