Reliable Pet/House Sitting
Pet care experience
I prefer to work for clients in Fair Oaks and Citrus Heights. I've recently started my own pet sitting business just by word of mouth, but I've been taking care of pets since I was about 4-5. I grew up with cats and got my first dog when I was in middle school. I have experience with dogs as small as a few pounds to over 100 pounds. I've taken care of dogs who need medicine and don't walk and well as COVID puppies who needs lots of attention.
Reviews
Katie stayed in our home and took care of our young, energetic dog Zuma for 6 days and she was great! I was worried about leaving Zuma because we got her during COVID and she's not used to being alone. Katie spent lots of time with her and Zuma was so happy when we got home and not stressed out at all. I felt very comfortable with Katie in our home and would not hesitate to have her dog sit for us again!
