I am currently a college student with some extra time on my hands. I absolutely love animals so I could not think of a better way to spend my time! With that being said, school and a part time job has made my schedule vary a lot. Typically on the weekdays, I am free early mornings and late afternoons. But again, it changes all the time, so please contact me for more specific inquiries on my schedule and availability!

A typical day

Every pet is different, so it really depends on their personality. Some enjoy turning a visit into a workout with lots of playtime and toys everywhere, while other are happiest laying on the couch and soaking up some cuddles! No matter what, I make it a priority to understand them first, so that I can curate activities according to their needs. For example, I mentioned Leo is a high energy dog, meaning he loves going on daily long walks and running around the yard. While Lucille, my first dog, was the opposite - a lower energy, calm and obedient dog who's worst nightmare would have been daily walks and being outside. So a typical day is planned very differently for each.

Pet care experience

Big, small, shy, or silly - I love them all!! I grew up surrounded by animals and caring for them has always been second nature to me. From adventurous long walks to cozy belly rubs, your furry family will be in loving hands! ૮₍ ・ ﻌ ・ ₎ა D O G S I'm currently a pet parent to Leo, my playful (and a bit crazy) 3 year old shih tzu. Living with such an energetic pup has taught me a lot about balancing fun with structure, and it's given me a deep understanding of how to channel a dog's energy into positive, happy experiences. Before Leo, I spent 11 wonderful years with Lucille, my first pup, who taught me everything I know about dogs - patience, care, and unconditional love. Beyond my own pups, I've cared for dogs at every life stage, from bouncy puppies who never run out of energy to older pups who want comfort and care, giving me the ability to adapt to each dog's specific needs. /ᐠ - ˕ -マ C A T S While I've never owned a cat myself, I've grown to understand and absolutely adore cats. Each cat I've cared for has taught me something new, whether it's the joy of a head nudge or the craziness of a playful chase. I love getting to know their unique quirks and making sure they feel safe and cared for. Please feel free to look through the gallery of some of my favorite clients :)) SERVICE INFO ↓↓↓↓ ♥︎ DROP INS: Some activities or services I am happy to provide include: potty, food, play, bath, short walks, medication, litter cleaning, and many more. Let me know what you and your pet need! ♥︎ DOG WALKING: I am glad to walk dogs of any size. Please let me know beforehand how you would like me to walk them (how long, what route, how fast). All treats, water, and bags are complementary! PLEASE NOTE: I have a two dog limit per walk. If you have more than two, I would love to walk them separately but not all at the same time. If your dog is 50+lbs, I require a meet and greet beforehand to know if and how I can safely walk your dog. Dogs over 75lbs MUST be trained for walks. All of this is to ensure the safety of mine and your furry friend! Important ‼️ I don’t require but definitely recommend a meet and greet before booking any service with me. I would love to meet you and your pet first before we work together! Or if you would rather without, that is perfectly fine as well. Instructions can also be communicated online if preferred! /)/) ( . .) ?? If you have any questions regarding my services, payment, experience, or other details, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Katie was wonderful with our cat! Our kitty is usually shy around new people, but Katie quickly made her feel comfortable. She sent daily recaps with photos, showing lots of playtime and cuddles, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We’re so grateful to have found and booked her! Katie was also kind and respectful of our home. I’d highly recommend her to any pet parent looking for someone caring and reliable to look after their fur babies.

Katie is wonderful! She was great with our chihuahua who was recovering from surgery and equally great with our cat. She is great with medications and communication. Definitely will be using her again!!
