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
We love Katie, she’s the best of the best!
Katie went above and beyond in every aspect! She took care of my 2 kitties in my home for 2 weeks, coming over 2x a day, making sure they had all care provided plus plenty of playtime and cuddles. She responded to my booking request and messages quickly, did troubleshooting with Rover support on my behalf when I had issues with booking, sent great photos and detailed care summaries while I was away, offered to pick up necesities to make my return home easier...she even offered to drive over when my car needed a jump when I returned home to a dead battery in my car! I was very nervous leaving my kittens for 2 weeks, but she instantly made me feel at ease during our meet & greet: attentive, asked good questions, and she followed through with remembering all my verbal instructions when I forgot to leave behind a printed summary of care instructions. My kittens can have separation anxiety and haven't interacted with many new people--they instantly took to her (even the spicy one) and I loved seeing the many photos of her having a good time with them. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for pet care. Next time I'm out of town, I will absolutely be booking Katie again!
Katie is the best! She is so reliable and I know Callie is always getting the best care.
Katie was absolutely wonderful with our dog Moxi. At first Moxi was scared and went straight into guard mode, but Katie handled it with so much patience and care. She always put Moxi’s (and her own) safety first and never pushed her. By the end of the stay, Moxi turned into a completely different dog, running around playfully and even wanting to be petted! It was such a heartwarming transformation and made us so happy. Katie truly went above and beyond. She’s caring, professional, and great with nervous dogs. We’re very grateful and would book her again in a heartbeat!
