Availability

I currently only work part time 2 nights/1 morning a week so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies. Let’s do some big walkies! I teach dance classes M/F 6:30-11PM and Sun 9AM-3PM. Those are the only times I am truly unavailable. Everything else can be negotiated!

Pet care experience

I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I have had all kinds of pets from rats to cats and dogs and plenty in-between! I had my first fun pet-sitting responsibilities in middle school watching my friend’s bearded dragons while she was on vacation! I am experienced with caring for special needs and epileptic pets, administering oral medications, and clipping cats' nails. I am also very willing to learn any other type of special needs care that your pet requires!

Love Katie. She's great with my cats, and sent me a lot of pictures while I was away.

We have been working with Katie for a few months now and she’s great! My boy Rigby loves her. Shes very good with communication and responds quickly. I love the pics she sends so I can see my buddy having a blast and getting out of the house for a while to sniff stuff. 10/10 would recommend her to anyone that has a pet.

Katie was incredible! From the start, she moved her schedule around to fit us in. She even came during a blizzard! She took care of both of our girls wonderfully, always sending us pictures. Katie went above and beyond for us and we would absolutely recommend her !
