Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life! Since I only take one client’s pets at a time, I’m able to plan my day fully around their needs—whether that’s walks, playtime, meals, or snuggles. I adjust my routine to match theirs, keeping things as close to home life as possible. Caring for pets isn’t something I “fit in”—it’s the heart of my day when I have a guest!

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, pets enjoy plenty of space and freedom in my large 2-acre fenced yard. They get to safely explore, play, and stretch their legs without being confined to crates. I only watch one client’s pets at a time, so your furry family member will never have to compete for attention. Inside, pets are welcome to relax and make themselves at home—whether that’s snuggling on the couch, napping in a sunny spot, or playing with toys. I keep their routine as close to yours as possible, with scheduled meals, walks, playtime, and lots of love. If I’m caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions closely to make sure they’re comfortable in their own environment. I respect your space and your pet’s normal routine so everything feels familiar and stress-free.

Information Katie W. would like to know about your pet

I will reach out 3-4 days prior to boarding with questions. You will also get pictures every morning and evening - if you ever want more just ask! Requirements- Your pets must be potty trained (unless under 4 months old). Must be on flea prevention. Must be spayed/neutered unless under 6 mo.

A typical day

Pets get to enjoy plenty of play and enrichment while they’re with me! On my 2-acre fenced yard, dogs can run, play fetch, explore, and get all their energy out safely. For pups who prefer a calmer pace, we can take slow walks, enjoy belly rubs, or just relax together in the sunshine. Cats and smaller pets get lots of one-on-one attention too—whether that’s interactive play with toys, gentle brushing, or just cozy cuddle time. I always tailor activities to match your pet’s personality and energy level so they feel happy, comfortable, and loved.

All love, no crates!

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Katie! I believe pets deserve the same love, comfort, and attention they get at home. That’s why I never use crates, and I only take care of one client’s pets at a time. This way, your furry family member gets all the attention, care, and snuggles they deserve—without stress or overcrowding. I’ve been caring for pets for years and truly enjoy making them feel safe and happy. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime in the yard, or just lots of cuddles, I focus on keeping your pet comfortable and loved. You can feel confident knowing your pet is treated like family while you’re away. What You Can Expect: One-on-one attention (no other clients’ pets during their stay) No crates—unless you specifically request it Consistent love, play, and care tailored to your pet’s routine Lots of photo and message updates for peace of mind I’d love to meet your pet and make their time away from you as stress-free and happy as possible! 🐾

Absolutely excellent care for our cat Hermes! She was very loving to our boy and sent constant updates over our week long stay. 100% will contact Katie again if we need our cats looked after again!

Though I was only gone for 4 days, Katie made it a priority to take photos and videos of my cat, Blue. Kept him happy, medicated, had a dedicated space for him, and established herself as a go-to for me when I head out of town again! 💯🥰
