Pet care experience

Experienced pet sitter

I am an experienced pet sitter who watches animals full time. I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, horses, turtles, and birds. I worked as a barn manager for 5 years and have a lot of hands-on experience caring for all different types of animals on the farm. I'm especially good with anxious or timid animals that do best in calm environments. I am fit and strong and can walk your 85 pound dog that pulls on the leash, but I would prefer to host only small or medium dogs, as my apartment is pretty small. I don't own any pets at the moment so yours will be the center of attention. Since I work from home I have the time and availability to take care of pets that may have special needs or require multiple walks throughout the day.

Safety, trust & environment

I abide by the schedule and care plan provided to me by the owner. As a pet owner myself I understand the importance of keeping the animals on their typical routines.

Katie is amazing. She has patiently won over my very fickle kitty. I love her updates and I know my kitty is well taken care of despite my sometimes busy travel schedule.

Katie was punctual, reliable and even accommodated a last minute change, which was so appreciated. Our dog seemed to enjoy his visit with her!
