Highlights
Pet care experience
Always willing to go the extra mile
Hi I’m Katie! I am currently in college looking to pursue an animal degree. I graduated from South Tech’s veterinary assistant class which means I have my vet assistant certification, and I’m well educated on first aid, animal body language, grooming, health, and many more. I’ve always had a handful of animals that were my responsibility and prior experience watching animals for neighbors and friends. I also job shadowed at Affton vet, which gave me the opportunity to watch them perform a number of surgeries, but also routine vaccines. I am also comfortable with administering oral and injected medications.
Cat care experience
Katie also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
While you’re away, I’d love to keep to the same schedule that your pet is used to and minimize their stress. We can go for walks, sit in the backyard together, or just watch tv on the couch! I’m a good photographer, so you can expect plenty of photos of whatever we end up doing!
Ratings and reviews
Katie was amazing. My kitkats felt comfortable enough to come out and interact with her, including the newest and shyest kitties. She also helped keep their days enriched by reorganizing their toys and changing their cat tv. Thank you Katie!
Katie checked in and sent pictures which I really appreciated!
Katie was great with our boys. Communication was spectacular and sharing of pictures was appreciated.
Katie took great care of our pets and home! Would definitely book with her again. Thank you Katie!
As always, Katie did a great job dog/house sitting for us. She regularly checks in with us, sharing pictures of our fur babies, and is always helpful around the house when we’re gone. We highly recommend booking her.
Katie is the perfect mix of gentle calm and command with Felicity! My dog trusts her and is excited when she’s around, and I can trust that my pup is in good hands with her.

Schedule
Im currently in college online, so my schedule is very flexible and I am able to be at your house most of the day except when I am working. My work hours change from week to week but I work between 6-8 hour shifts in south county.

- Before meeting your dog, I’d like to know the rules you have in place for them, if they will be nervous or excited when I first walk in, and anything else that may be important when meeting your dog for the first time. Knowing your schedule is a big help too so I know what time I’ll be waking up with them. Any allergies or medications your pet has daily and other than that, just what your expectations are for their daily activities and I’ll provide all the extras. Furthermore, I am committed to supporting long-term pet health and can offer guidance on how to save 10% monthly on pet insurance for the lifetime of your animal. This insurance covers accidents, illnesses, diagnostic tests, and treatments, and allows you to visit any veterinarian of your choice, including emergency clinics and specialists, as all are considered in-network.
