Katie - Caring for your fur babies

Pet care experience

Hi there - I'm Katie, 36, I grew up with cats, horses, and a dog and still have a cat and a dog now. I am working at a dog kennel, walk dogs throughout the day and volunteer for a community health centre right now. Since coming to Canada I try to reorientate myself in terms of my professional future and just love spending time with dogs. Such, I am available to help you care for your fur babies big or small. I live in the Gatineau-Ottawa area but am flexible in terms of locations to help - I am happy to either stay at your home during the duration of the house/ pet-sitting or to come by on a daily basis. If you are interested to talk further, you can reach me here and then we go from there. Have a lovely day! Katie

Katie is a very knowledgeable dog sitter, she works at a local kennel and has lots of experience with different type of dogs. My dog Hugo does not socialize well with other dogs but after he stayed with Katie for couple days, he is able to listen better with us when meeting new dogs. Katie give us frequent updates of Hugo and send us pictures several times a day. We are very lucky to have Katie to be our dog sitter, we will definitely ask Katie to dogsit Hugo again!

I left Katie in charge of my to 13 year old dogs. One doge require 4 medications a day. She did a wonderful job and the dogs love her. She even did the few dishes I left in the sink before I went away for 4 days. I would recommend this responsible caring person to any pet owner.

Katie was my neighbor since April 2018. We have a male special needs cat calld Merle that has been living with us for about 2 years now. He has anxiety and then starts to scratches his body while there is nothing there to get rid of and hurts himself. Katie has helped us since last April when she moved in to take care, feed, play with Merle during the many weekends and our holiday time when we were away. She continues to do so and we are very happy with how organized, and most important how much attention she pays to details and the small things. She has been great with Merle that is not an easy cat with new people - when he got his bladder infection she fed him medicine and made sure he got his regular diet when we were away. I am very happy with Katie and can definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter for their pets !

Katharina is a very much reliable individual that cares with great empathy for the animals in her care. From a young age taking care of bunnies, hamsters and fish in our home she was very loving with our cat. She loves bigger animals especially like horses and farm animals but also dogs and the two German Shepherd's with which she grew up. I can definitely recommend Katharina for any pet and house-sitting jobs - she will do what she promises and take care of every pet she deals with as if it is her own !

Information Katie S. would like to know about your pet

No breed preference. Definitely wanting to know their personality, any quirks or difficulties they have. I would focus to make sure they feel safe while with me and to set the right tone for the relationship - it also helps to know how to approach a dog.

A typical day

We will be going to the dog park, enjoy the yard outside and walking by the river. If I have a dog staying with me I take them out so they can run and exhaust themselves. Playing fetch as well as making sure they are able to follow commands or, train them on little tricks to keep them busy.
