Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced Pet Owner Ready to Help
Hello and welcome! I'm very comfortable handling and taking care of all kinds of animals because of I've been around them my whole life. I've been taking care of dogs, cats, and rabbits since I was a kid--around 24 years worth of experience! I also volunteered for 3 years at two different humane societies as a cat socializer and kennel cleaner. (Great Plains SPCA & Champaign County Humane Society) Furthermore, I'm certified in cat and dog first aid by the Red Cross.

Safety, trust & environment
Whenever I pet-sit or drop-in, I will stick to the routines that you already have established at home, so your pet will hardly be able to tell you're gone!
Ratings and reviews
Katie is awesome with our pets. We have used her several times and are always very happy with the services she provides. We will definitely use her again in the future.
Katie always does a fantastic, dependable job. My only issue is I believe my cats like her more than me.
She took great care of my 2 senior pups.
Excellent care, Louie loved her!
Katie is our go-to cat caregiver. She is reliable, on-time for every feeding, and kind to our cats. They love her. We know they all are in good hands. She can also give our diabetic senior cat his insulin shots, which is very important to his health. We highly recommend her services and will always contact her first if we leave town.
Katie was personal and very willing to work with us. She took great care of our babies. You can trust her to do a good job with your house and pets!

Schedule
My schedule is fairly open at the moment. I'm happy to take requests any time throughout the day. I cannot walk dogs in the summer as I have UV sensitivity.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsDogs over 1 year oldKatie can host up to 5 drop-ins per day
- Please let me know if your pet has any special needs. I'll be sure to accommodate them to the best of my ability. Also, it will be great to know if they have any unique quirks or habits that I need to be prepared for while they're under my care. (For example, our black lab Kale loves to hug people or our cat Sasha will dart out the front door if given the chance.)
