Made my life easier by picking up and dropping off at my home. Did not have to rush from airport. Daily notes and pictures kept me aware of how my pup was doing. She was even so kind as to bring in some packages that were at my home when she was delivering Watsun.

Katie was able to pick Rocky up from our house and bring him back home after our return. That was extra nice. Rocky is an older doggie so he spent a lot of time sleeping, which is what he does most of the time when he’s at home. We appreciate all that Katie did for Rocky to make him feel comfortable while we were away.

Katie did a phenomenal job taking care of our dog. We loved all the updates and could tell she was in the best hands. We knew it went well when she didn’t even want to come home. Doggy summer camp was a success!

Schedule

Pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily routine. Each morning, I start with feeding and exercising my own pets, which keeps me attuned to their needs and well-being. Throughout the day, I manage appointments for pet sitting, ensuring I have dedicated time for each client’s specific requirements. My evenings are spent preparing for the next day's visits, including planning for any special needs or dietary requirements. This consistent routine allows me to provide attentive, reliable care, ensuring every pet receives the attention and affection they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, pets enjoy a comfortable and secure environment tailored to their needs. I provide plenty of space for play, relaxation, and exercise, with dedicated areas for feeding, sleeping, and enrichment activities. Each pet has access to fresh water, high-quality food, and their favorite toys. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines to ensure consistency. I focus on maintaining their usual feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special care instructions. I also ensure their environment is safe and stimulating, providing playtime and affection while respecting the pet’s space and preferences. Regular updates and communication with the pet owner help keep them informed and reassured about their pet’s well-being.

A typical day

Frequent dog park runs!!! Plethora of outside activity and running. Plenty of toys here but I have had some owners supply their own toys for their dogs comfort. Regardless I can assure you your pup will not be bored!
