Highlights
Pet care experience
Animals make the best coworkers.
Hi! I’m an experienced pet sitter and dog walker based out of Newton, NJ. Animals are my life! I’ve been working full time in petcare for close to four years, and as a caretaker for many years. Before going into dogcare full time, I was most recently working as a nursing home aid, and CHHA. Before that, I worked with farm animals at the Turtle Back Zoo, and volunteered with the cat adoption agency, ‘Kitty Kind.’ I’ve had and taken care of my dogs, as well as others, ever since I was a little girl. I missed working with our four-legged friends, and I’m very happy to have returned to this fuzzier kind of work. Right now at home, I’ve got two Malamute Labrador mixes. Needless to say, I do have experience handling big dogs, though I love the little ones, too!

Ratings and reviews
Katie was so kind and communicative. My dog loved spending time with her and her family!
Katie is the best. Took my big dog Emma on the shortest of notice. Sent photos and videos of her playing with the other dogs, which showed me how social my dog really is. And her place is absolutely idyllic, with large shady lawns and different fenced areas. I will be back with my dog Emma.
I think Sally likes Katie more than me! She had a great time and actually interacted with other dogs which is very unusual. Katie is very responsive and obviously LOVES dogs. Great sitter!
Wow! My dog had an incredible time and was impeccably cared for! I had a ton of wonderful updates. I couldn’t be more confident recommending Katie and her husband Francesco. My trip was made so much more fun knowing that my dog was safe and happy!
Wow! I can not say enough good things about Katie, Francesco and their pet-sitting! They took the best care of our pups, and our dogs came back nice and tired from having such a great time! I would highly recommend!
Katie was exceptional in every way. I received continuos updates/photos as to how my dogs were doing. Her property spacious and beautiful. She is a loving dog care provider! Highly recommended!

Schedule
I am available for overnights, in most cases, so long as I’m not on schedule for another client. My main duty right now is taking care of my animals at home, so I’m also happy to take on whatever odd shifts people may need help with.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
How I would care for a client’s fuzzy friend would be an entirely personalized experience. I want to know how YOU want them taken care of, and what you are comfortable with and looking for. Then, I will enthusiastically and reliably fill that role, whilst ensuring a safe and protective experience for your pet.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day with me caring for your pet depends on what your dog’s capabilities are; if you have a younger dog full of energy, I’ll make sure we run around and play and run some of that energy out of them! If you have an older, senior, or more timid dog, I’ll make sure to keep a gentle vibe, and slow things down to whatever pace seems best for your sensitive pal. Every dog is different, and it’s important to keep that in mind when caring for them.
