Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced, Professional, Insured!
I have 15 years of professional pet care experience and taught positive reinforcement dog training classes for 5 years. I owned a successful dog walking service in Waterdown for a decade before closing it to bring my passion for pet care home to Cambridge, where I have lived for eight years. I am extremely reliable and communicative, and I come with a wealth of dog handling experience. Insured in good standing with ProFUR since 2018.

Safety, trust & environment
I am a homeowner, kid parent, and pet parent myself. I know how much trust it requires to hire reliable pet care, and I also understand the level of responsibility that comes with having access to someone's home and beloved pets. I take this responsibility very seriously and am proud to say that in 15 years, I have never had a client incident involving security. When your pet is in my care, I treat them with love and affection, as if they were my own. Ditto for your house! Doors are locked, pets secured, plants watered, and mail is brought in.
Ratings and reviews
Katie has taken care of our cat, Pips. In our experience Katie is responsible, kind and communicative. She is flexible and accommodating going above and beyond to give Pips the best care. I highly recommend Katie as a pet sitter.
Katie is wonderful! Her love of animals was clear when I saw her interact with my two cats. She is reliable and I trusted her to come and not just feed and scoop the litter but to sit and play with them while I was away for the weekend. I'll absolutely be asking her to care for my cats when I go away for two weeks this summer!! I definitely recommend Katie for all your cat sitting needs!
Katie is incredibly responsible, caring, and always go above and beyond for our dog. It is a comfort to us knowing our dog is in the hands of someone who truly loves what they do and treats every walk with care and attention. Katie is consistently reliable, communicates well sharing updates with us, and has the experience and knowledge to handle anything that comes up, calmly and confidently. As a rescue dog, our dog is generally not comfortable with people (asides from us), and suffers from separation anxiety away from us. However Katie won over our dog who now trusts her. Highly recommend!
