Always willing to go the extra mile

Pet care experience

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.

Katie always does a fantastic job house/dog sitting for us. She keeps us well informed on how things are going and sends us pictures of our fur babies while we are away. We highly recommend her.

Katie does an excellent job dog sitting/house sitting for us. Our dogs are always well taken care of, so we know we don’t have anything to worry about while away.

Katie was great with my two GSDs while we were away. She cleaned up before she left so everything was as we left it and our dogs were happy, healthy and well taken care of. Will definitely be looking for Katie's availability next time.

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!

Information Katie S. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

When I watch new animals I like to get to know them and their energy level first. Once we have a little bond we’ll do a fun activity that they enjoy like going outside or for a walk or whatever it is they like best!
