Reviews
Katie P. cancelled a booking 2 days before it was scheduled to begin.
First off, let me just say there is no pet sitter quite like Katie. Since I have known Katie, she has had an interest in helping animals, volunteering at shelters, working at sanctuaries, and taking in several dogs of her own. Generally speaking, Katie is nurturing, kind, and open minded in character. Katie has been the most reliable and responsible pet sitter a fur mom could need. I've used other sitters and I am always disappointed or worried they will not follow through or feel like I need to micromanage- but not with Katie. She has watched my pets many times, and I basically have a small petting zoo. I have 3 Huskies and a 16 year old Golden Retriever, as well as rabbits and cats. Katie does it all- from routine walking to car rides just 'cause, to administering RX and helping my senior dog in and out of the house- she always comes through and shows up when I need her! She goes above and beyond, texts me updates to tell me how they are, she's unafraid to ask questions when needed, and sends cute pet pics which always puts a smile on my face and gives me relief. She also waters my garden in the summers and ensures my house plants stay alive while I am gone. My pets trust her too and that's the best peace a pet parent could get from a pet sitter. Choose Katie, you won't find a stranger that genuinely cares about your pets well-being more than she does.

Safety, trust & environment
I absolutely ADORE animals so I treat them as if they are my own. I always adapt my behavior to the animal(s)’s as to not cause stress and I strive to make all my clients (animal and human) as comfortable as possible!
Information Katie P. would like to know about your pet
Behavioral quirks, petting/handling preferences, if they’re ok in the car, what they don’t like (food, petting/handling, people/noises/animals/etc), favorite foods/places/activities, dog/people friends, medical needs or special diet
A typical day
The world is our oyster! We can do chill activities like walking around the neighborhood or going for a drive. But I also love taking dogs to the park, on hikes, to pet friendly stores. Little adventures are the best ones!
