Washtenaw County Animal Lover
Hi everyone! I’m currently serving Washtenaw County. I am also open to watching farm animals as well, I’m familiar with chickens/roosters, i use to have a bunny that i would show in 4H as well. I will watch your pets at the comfort of your own home. Feed, walk, play with and anything else you would request. Willing to do for a day, overnight, a few days and up to a week. I do own 4 cats and a dog and have been an animal lover all my life. I have had animals all my life, whether it’s cats, hamsters or dogs. I enjoy going on walks daily and would love to take your dog on long walks or even short depending on the age. I love to take care of any age animal, old or young. I love them all. I can take the dog/dogs to the dog park and have them run around also to get their energy out I have a 5 year old dog & 8 year old dog of my own as well as 4 adorable cats.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Katie was my cat sitter for a week and took care of the basics feeding and cleaning for my cat. I do also appreciate that she brought in my packages while I was away. However, I was disappointed with the overall quality of care. Visits were logged as 30 minutes in the Rover app but some were actually much shorter, some lasting only 4–7 minutes. My cat is shy at first but typically warms up and becomes affectionate with sitters after a little time. It was concerning that even after a week, the photos I received still showed him hiding under the sofa. Because of this, I checked my security camera and confirmed that many visits were significantly shorter than reported, with only one visit lasting the full 30 minutes. At the very least, I would have expected the sitter to remain in the home for the full duration to provide some companionship and consistency. Additionally, Katie was unable to attend our scheduled meet-and-greet beforehand and had to call in sick for one of the agreed-upon days. For these reasons, I will not be booking with Katie again and would not recommend her for cat sitting.
Katie did an excellent wi the our sweet girl. She was flexible with time changes and very understanding. Our pet enjoyed her stay!
We appreciated Katie's patient approach to our anxious dog Otis. Furthermore, the house was left in a clean condition. Thanks for taking good care of the boys!
Katie took good care of our kitties while we were away. She sent nice photos everyday and always kept us posted about how they were doing. We will for sure get in touch with her for next time we need someone to look after our babies
Katie is great with Sally and very communicative
Katie took great care of my kitties and I very much appreciate her!

A typical day
I love to stimulate your dog in anyway, whether it’s running around our fenced in 1 acre yard, or going on walks. They will always be entertained and never bored.
