Pet care experience

Experience with all walks of 'paws'

I provide personalized care for your furry family members, backed by years of experience and a genuine love for animals. You can schedule overnight stays, drop in visits, and walks. I'm dedicated to ensuring your pet's happiness and well-being while you're away! I’m passionate about providing 1 on 1 care in home, because that is what makes your pets feel the most comfortable. I started walking my neighborhood dogs when I was 13 years old, and I’ve worked in multiple doggy daycares as an adult. Through these experiences I’ve learned that I do prefer individualized care (by a landslide). Their safety and happiness will always be a top priority for me! Dogs and cats aren't the only animals that I enjoy caring for. I worked on my family's farm for over three years intermittently, where I provided care for many different kinds of animals. If you have another family pet that needs taken care of, it’s usually not an issue, just make sure to clarify with me prior to booking. I have successfully been relied on for years to walk, play with, feed, give medication, and pet sit. I will love them like they're my own 🤍

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I do not offer my own personal in-home services, but when it comes to your home I will do anything to protect your pup or pet. I will not walk out of the house unleashed, and I can crate or gate your pup inside if that's your preference when I need to leave. I also make sure to use security systems if asked when staying overnight. **Please let me know about any small quirks that may come with your place, such as a gate that doesn't always latch outside (in case of a pupper running), or an AC unit that may only be operated by phone in case of summer heat, etc. **

Ugh. I can't say enough wonderful things about Katie. I feel truly blessed to have her as a pet sitter.

I want to gatekeep Katie S. She provides such a sense of security when we are away. I just cannot imagine anyone else caring for my obnoxious furkids.

Great communications. Dogs accepted her very quickly. This was a day long "test run" before a longer trip next week.
