Highlights
Pet care experience
All about animals all the time!
I have been taking care of animals since I was a kid, and have house/pet-sat for years. I also own 3 rescue dogs of my own, George (15), Lulu (10), and Crosby (6) and a very regal, black cat Klaus (3) I have a flexible work schedule and can fit pet care into my schedule fairly easily. Planning is a big part of that for me, so consistency is a must! Consistency is key! Whatever routine your pet has needs to be followed to help maintain a safe, easy going environment. It's absolutely imperative that the animals feel safe in their home, especially with visitors. It is important to me to create a strong bong between myself and the animal so they can begin to anticipate what's coming, and have a smooth visit. With my dogs, we make sure to incorporate a lot of play time in safe environments so they can get their energy out and be able to rest and interact peacefully with each other.

Safety, trust & environment
When it comes to caring for clients animals, you know best. I make it a point to follow all directions and routines to the letter, and treat them as if they were my own pets. I have varying personalities when it comes to my own animals, from very chill to high strung anxiety, so I feel comfortable with pretty much any personality type of an animal. I understand that entrusting your animals to someone else is very important and can be very nerve-racking. I make it a point to understand the needs of every client and go above and beyond to make sure they are well taken care of.

Katie has a great rapport with my animals. My dog loves hanging out with her and going on walks. Katie is very communicative and even able to accommodate last minute requests. She is friendly, respectful and very reliable. I recommend her hands down.

Always a great job with Katie. My pet and her seem to share a bond that I just love.

- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsKatie can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
- Something that’s very important to me to know beforehand, is if there are any specific commands or trainings that you would like enforced or worked on. Also, if there are any specific commands, if in the rare instance, they were to ever escape out the front door or get off leash so I can ensure their safety. Also, please let me know if there are any special needs, concerns or behavioral issues. I am more than willing to work on any and all issues that you might have with your animal and consider myself very patient and loving. Your pets safety and happiness is my number one priority.
