Animal lovers- best breed of humans
Pet care experience
They call me Magic Katie. I can do anything from cuddling, sleeping, walking, brushing, bathing, playing, talking, giving car rides, and going to the park. I love fur babies. I’m a local from the Kansas area. I have been the animal sitter since I was 14 yrs old in my parents neighborhood. I understand leaving your animal can be difficult, so I offer the option to stay at their (pet’s) home because they are more familiar with the environment. I’ve grown up with Greyhound, German Shepherd/beagle, Rotti mix, and lab mix. I also really love cats. I’ve had a Blue Russian and Torti and just got an American short hair kitten. I’ve watched other types of cats and I love their personalities. It’s hard to find someone who knows cats, but I def speak Meow. The biggest thing that sets me apart is I will make sure they are being pampered as if they were mine. I believe to overly take care of your animals, so you don’t have to worry. I will take lots of pictures and video of what your pets do. I’ve found owners really love seeing them have fun or being goofy.
Reviews
Katie took such good care of our cat. He got lots of play time and we loved looking at all of the pictures she took every day. Our kitty usually hides from strangers but he LOVED Katie! She’s a cat whisperer! Thank you so much, Katie!
Thank you you for taking care of my baby! Will book again. Super attentive and communicative and prompt!
We have always used family or friends for housesitting, so this was our first experience using someone we didn't know. Katie knocked it out of the park caring for our blind dog, Lucy! Katie was conscientious from the get-go. We talked by phone, and she also stopped by the house to meet us and Lucy in person. Our communications and meeting with her immediately put us at ease. She advised that she had cared for other blind and disabled dogs, and her references provided additional reassurance. Just before leaving town, we noticed a sore on Lucy's foot. Early into our trip, this sore kept Lucy (and Katie, I'm sure) up much of the night. Katie let us know that it seemed to be bothering Lucy, so we scheduled a visit to the vet. Katie graciously took her to the appointment. It's a good thing she did - Lucy ended up having swollen lymph nodes and needed to be treated with medication. Katie put me on speaker phone during the vet visit to make sure I was informed. She also purchased food for Lucy (which I had forgotten to get before leaving town) and other supplies. She administered Lucy's medication and sent us daily pics and updates (so appreciated!). Lucy quickly recovered under her watchful care. We are very grateful for her expediency and compassionate care. Unfortunately, our A/C also quit working while we were out of town, so Katie endured a very warm night in our house before the outside temperature dropped and made it tolerable. She met with the A/C repairman in our absence and took it all in a calm and collected fashion. We felt really bad that Katie had to deal with all of these issues in our absence, but she took it in stride and never complained about all she had to deal with. In sum, Katie is a consummate professional! We would trust her with Lucy and our home anytime and will not hesitate to use her again!!!
I was very pleased with the care and concern Katie showed with Hitch. He responded to her which he doesn’t usually do with strangers. I would absolutely recommend her.

Safety, trust & environment
I make sure they are being taken care as you want me too and pay lots of attention to them. I also know I’m in your home, so I leave it the way I found it and make sure communicating about anything is key.
Information Katie S. would like to know about your pet
I would want to know exactly how you want me to take care of your animal. I think it’s important to tell me the ins and out of what your pet likes. If you have tricks to make things go smoother, let me know, I got you.
A typical day
Everything you want, I’ll get done. I am hired for a job, I make sure I follow the instructions and more. I will make sure they get the walks, pets, treats, playtime to keep them as happy as they can be.

Availability
When I accept a job, I make sure that my work and routine revolves around the time that is requested. There is typically a reason why an owner chooses that time and if not, we can discuss a diff time that works.
