Pet care experience

Friendly & Reliable Animal Lover

Hi! Look no further, I love all animals and have owned a variety of dogs & cats in my life - so I understand how much a part of the family they are, and how important taking care of them is. I've never had issues with any dog or cat, and have always been able to adjust to different personalities. I have one cat (Ivy) and have previously owned both cats & dogs; I'm excited to find an opportunity to spend some of my extra time out and about, and meeting everyone's wonderful animals! I live in Courthouse and am available to provide drop-in visits, or walks to clients in the Arlington area. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out - I look forward to meeting you (& your pet)!

Safety, trust & environment

Every pet has different needs, so I'll work with you to discuss the activities (and rules) that you follow with your pet for drop-ins, and for walks.

Katie took care of Georgie while we were gone for the weekend! We received cute photos and a nice summary of each drop-in visit which was much appreciated. Thanks, Katie!!

I get anxious when I leave for a long weekend, but Katie takes great care of my cat Kimi and gives great Rover cards to put me at ease. Thanks again!

I enjoyed reading the fun Rover cards while I was away. Kimi was treated very well and was happy and content when I returned home. I would absolutely recommend Katie, and would book her again!

Schedule

I work a hybrid schedule and wfh ~3 days a week - living in the Arlington area, so my schedule for drop-ins and walks is flexible, particularly for pets in the nearby area.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Katie can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Let me know if you have any specific needs or routines you'd like me to follow - I'm happy to adjust for what works best for you and your pet! (particular routes on walks, favorite toys to play with, in-home rules, etc.). I also have experience giving medication to cats (topical, pills, subcutaneous fluids) and dogs (only pills & topical here) - so may be able to support those needs as well.
