Safety, trust & environment
Your pets safety is always my #1 priority. I keep a close eye on dogs during walks, avoid unsafe areas, and only use secure leashes and harnesses. I never let dogs off-leash unless in a fully fenced, owner-approved space. At my ranch style home, the environment is pet-friendly and free from hazards with plenty of cozy spots to rest. I follow any special feeding, medication (injections included), or care instructions to the letter, and I treat every pet as if they were my own! Check out my reviews for more details.

Reviews
Katie S is the most responsible, caring and kind pet sitter my family has ever worked with. She is proactive, and sends the cutest pics of our pets hanging out, going for walks, and gobbling their meals and treats. She takes our requests seriously and she clearly does her best to accommodate any needs. Our pets are both seniors, and love their schedules! I am a friend of animals and take their lives seriously, and when Katie is at our home, caring for our pets, I am totally at ease and peace. Our pets both obviously feel confident and safe with her and we love her considerate, friendly and reliable service. Katie is a blessing!
Katie is THE best and I can't recommend her enough! Katie stayed in our home and took care of our elderly, blind dog for over a week making sure that our pup was taking her meds, being let out at her usual times and given tons of love, reassurance and affection. She provided us with frequent pictures and videos which put us at ease that our dog was well taken care of and loved on during our travels. She went above and beyond, even grabbing us extra cans of pumpkin from the store that we put on top of our dogs food when I forgot and making sure counters were clean and dog fur was vacuumed up. Our dog is normally very shy around new people but took to Katie so fast and even felt comfortable enough to curl up by her head at night. She is amazing and a miracle worker and anyone who books her to care for her pets will not be disappointed! Thank you Katie! <3
Katie is professional, communicates efficiently and with heart felt depth, and our cats seem to enjoy her! She is responsible, cares deeply about animals and it shows. We will definitely ask if she will take care of our animals again.
Thank you so much Katie for taking such good care of my Callie!
