Trusted, Loving Pet Care

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Katie. I have cared for dogs, cats, and an assortment of other animals for my entire lifetime. Friends, family, and neighbors consistently trust me and reach out to me for pet sitting. I have experience with puppies, seniors, and administering medications, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I live with my partner of 5 years, and our only pet is a very friendly Brussels Griffon name Milton who is 1 1/2 years old. - Milton matches energy with other pets. So whether your pet is a puppy, senior, cat, or a shy hamster.. Milton is the best guy to be around. He has proven over and over again to help shy dogs feel more trusting quickly, be playful with any pet that wants to play with him lol, and also he loves laying down next to seniors, as he understands that they may be more sleepy than him. I not only love babysitting for the company, but he does also (=

My dog Max found a best friend when he stayed with Katie and her dog Milton. The dogs had such a good time together and I felt Max was well taken care of. They treated him like their own dog, and even bought him a rawhide treat. Max stayed for three days while we were at a three day sporting event at Univ. of Florida and their location made it very convenient to drop him off in the mornings and pick him up in the afternoon.
