Pet care experience
Attentive & warm trained sitter
*Use code KATIEV85377 for $20 credit on first booking* Hello my name is Katie, I’m 35 years old. I have hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs, through pet sitting, family pets, personal assistant and caring for my own animals over the years. Most recently, I cared for my own dog for two years, providing daily walks, bathing, feeding, and regular vet visits. She struggled with significant anxiety, which taught me how important patience, routine, and gentle care are when supporting a pet’s emotional well-being. I’m comfortable handling anxious pets, administering basic care needs, and adapting to each animal’s unique personality. Whether it’s dog sitting, cat sitting, or helping with family pets, I treat every animal with the same attention, compassion, and respect I would want for my own.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Caring for a pet in their own home starts with clear, detailed communication. I make sure to understand all expectations upfront, including where supplies are kept (such as litter bags or cleaning items), how to securely lock up the home, and any specific routines or preferences your pet has. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding schedules to walks, medications, or comfort needs. I also prioritize regular updates so owners feel informed and confident while they’re away. My goal is to keep your pet comfortable in their familiar environment while respecting your home and routines exactly as requested.
