Pet care experience

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to visit my profile. My name is Katie, I decided to become a pet sitter because of my love for animals. I have extensive experiencing in taking care of different sorts of animals. I grew up in Oregon on a ranch, I had many responsibilities including caring for dogs, cats, chickens, cows and rabbits! I have one small dog named Leonard, that loves other dogs and socializing, he is the light of my life! I have a big chunk named Chirp who is a Nebelung cat who is also incredibly friendly and sweet. I also have extensive experience in fish care as well! I have seven fresh water fish tanks that I am very dedicated to and their care, so if you need fish care I am well equipped to handle it. I am the sort of person who operates from a place of empathy on all fronts, our pets deserve the best treatment and I treat all animals with kindness and respect. Every animal has their own set of boundaries and personality that needs to be taken into consideration upon interacting with them. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any further questions.

Katie is amazing! I couldn’t be happier with how she cared for my little guy, Andy. She was so kind and thoughtful throughout the entire stay. I was honest with her about being nervous due to some bad past experiences, and she completely put my mind at ease. We let her know how much we love receiving lots of photos, and she absolutely delivered, keeping us updated and sending adorable pictures the whole time. I would absolutely love to use her again in the future!

Katie gave updates daily and was very responsive. I was out of the country for almost three weeks and felt incredibly comfortable knowing Frida was taken care of. Could not recommend her more. I can tell my dog had a great time!

Kate took care of our two dogs and house sat. Because of the heat, she was out with them by 6am and did late evening walks. She was attentive to our detailed instructions. She provided many updates and pics. She even cleaned and did the wash. We will definitely use her again!
