Highlights
Pet care experience
Let me love your pets!
I've loved and cared for animals from a very young age! I was the child who surprised mom and dad by bringing home new furry (scaly, feathery...) faces. I currently have two cats of my own, Fitzwilliam and Sunny, as well as help with my parents dog Murphy. I worked at a dog kennel for about 9 years while in high-school and college, which let me meet and experience dogs of all types and personalities. I helped administer medication, clean their area, cater to many different diets, and helped them play and have fun! I used to have a cat that needed daily injections, and my current cat has T1 diabetes and gets liquid medication daily.

Safety, trust & environment
I am happy to visit your home, where your pet will be most comfortable, and care for all their needs there. I will give them lots of love in your absence! I ask that you give me detailed instructions so they get the best care possible. I am unable to take housesitting or full drop-in bookings for homes with overwhelming odors (cigarette smoke, urine/feces, excessive diffusers/scent dispensers) as they are migraine triggers for me. Cameras must be disclosed during our meet and greet per Rover TOS.
Ratings and reviews
Katie has a great ability to befriend skittish animals. She's responsible and thoughtful.
Katie was wonderful. She took great care of all our pets. We will most certainly be booking her again thank you Katie
Very helpful and insightful
Katie is always the best! She’s reliable, has strong communication, and so good with our Sadie girl! Thanks for all you do Katie!
Katie is fantastic, as always, with my cat Thomas and my new kitten Theo! Katie and Thomas were fast friends, and it was no different with Theo. This was their first time meeting, and he was in her lap purring like a tank engine on the first day she cared for them. Katie is very responsive and communicates quickly. Don’t hesitate to book Katie for pet sitting!
Our girls love Katie and we appreciate her so much. She’s punctual, takes great care of our girls, communicates well, and we don’t worry when we are away from them. Thanks, Katie!

Schedule
I'm currently working part-time on a 3 week rotating schedule, so there are some days where I will be away for long periods. I am typically available weekends, Monday, Friday, and nights. For house-sitting, before I commit to a booking, I will give you my work schedule with the times I would be away. I may also need to be away for shorter periods to do other drop-ins or see my own cats.
