Pet care experience

Animal lover since birth!

**I am currently only watching cats, small dogs, and other small animals due to a recent injury.** I love animals of all kinds! I grew up with cats of my own, and currently have 3 kitties, 2 snakes, and a lizard (-: I began watching dogs and cats for others at age 12. I have professionally cared for animals for 13 years. I have experience with a variety of dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles; bathing, grooming, and administering medication. I also have socialized feral cats and worked with animal rescues for special needs animals. I am very patient and have experience with temperaments of all kinds.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Caring for animals is my passion, I am all about giving love and attention to your pets! I can take your dog on a ride to the coffee shop for a puppacino or just hang out at home if doggies are shy. I love playing with cats, or just letting them do their own thing if they are shy. Whichever your animals prefer!

Katie did a fantastic job watching my three small dogs. One of my dogs has a pretty intense schedule of anti-seizure medications and she's also very timid around new people but she warmed up to Katie right away and was her shadow by the time I came home. The other two dogs loved her as well. She sent me regular updates every morning and evening and I was able to enjoy my vacation without worrying about how my dogs were being cared for. Would definitely recommend Katie and would absolutely have her back to watch my dogs!

Katie is truly the best!! We’ve always been nervous about getting a dog sitter for our anxious dachshund, but Katie has blown us away! She was very communicative & attentive to our pup. We will be hiring her for house sitting & drop ins as long as we can!

Katie took great care of our puppy while we were at work for the day! We had a lot of stress as he's a new puppy and we needed to go to work, but Katie sent frequent updates and took amazing care of Bruno. 100% would recommend!

Katie is amazing! The dogs love her and are very happy when she is here. The house is always left in great condition when we return home. We trust her completely and will use her again for our next vacation! Katie is highly recommended!

Katie was great! We had her watch our senior cat at our home overnight, and she was super communicative and sent updates and photos the whole time. Our cat got really comfortable with her!

Katie was amazing with my two pets and made me feel very comfortable on my trip (first time being away this long from my dog.) She was incredible with communication and sent lots of pictures and made sure all of their needs were met and added extra love, cuddles and play time. I am so appreciative and thankful for the care Katie provided. She took amazing care of my dog who has daily pills and I never worried that they were not in good care. She was also incredibly flexible when I had delays with my return flight. I cannot thank her enough!
