Highlights
Pet care experience
Certified Dog Trainer & Behaviorist
I am an animal lover with extensive experience. I have cared for hundreds of pets, ranging in age from an 8 week old puppy to a 21 year old Maine Coon cat and ranging in size from a 5 pound French Bulldog puppy to a 130 pound Newfoundland. I have administered oral medication and cared for dogs with three legs, epilepsy, incontinence, deafness, partial blindness, and complete blindness. And have experience caring for bunnies and chickens!
Cat care experience
Katie also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
Pet health and safety is my top priority. In my dog training certification program, I did a deep dive into studying animal behavior and body language. I will always observe and try to communicate clearly with your dog or cat and provide compassionate care based on the body language they show me.
Ratings and reviews
I had a wonderful experience with Katie dropping in to check on my cat Penelope. Katie’s communication kept me in the loop throughout the week, providing reassurance that Penelope was well taken care of and happy. I would absolutely recommend Katie to anyone with pets to care for, and will be using her again in the future.
Katie took great care of our cat Ted while we were gone! He got tons of cuddles and attention, and Katie followed our instructions exactly (and sent plenty of pics too). Would absolutely book again the next time we travel. Thanks Katie!!
Katie is WONDERFUL. So calm and knowledgeable. She clearly understands and loves dogs and is such a great resource for pet parents. In addition to taking great care of our 12 week old puppy during a morning while we were out, we peppered her with a ton of questions and sought her seasoned advice on a number of things. Great peace of mind for new puppy parents!
Katie was amazing with our two cats! This was our first time leaving our babies with a sitter and she was very communicative and put us at ease. We loved her little updates about what they were up to. Will definitely be returning customers!
Katie is amazing! She is our go-to sitter when we are out of town. She is reliable, trustworthy, and great with our cats.
Katie was great with my two dogs! Definitely going to hire her again and recommend!
