Katie was so wonderful! My flight ended up having to get switched to an earlier time last minute and she offered to come pick up my doggo a day early! It was so convenient for me to not have to worry about dropping her off/picking her up and I came home to a very happy Bella! Definitely will use her again and would absolutely recommend her!

I appreciated Katie for helping me out last minute, she responded quickly, and agreed to my care instructions upfront. My cat was okay when I returned, and her basic needs were met. However, she was consistently late to visits without giving me a heads up on when she would get there, even when I requested for timing consistency due to my cat’s anxiety and medication schedule. I also had to ask for updates on how my cat was doing and only received one photo or video per visit. Overall, I appreciated Katie’s willingness to help on a short notice despite our communication and care styles not being the best match.

Katie was wonderful! Her daily feedback and pictures of Dixie gave us peace of mind on our first stay with Katie. They took her out for daily walks and hikes and we could tell how happy our girl was during her stay. We will definitely use Katie again!

Katie and her husband were super thoughtful and keep us informed during our dog’s stay. We received pictures and videos and notes.

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!
