Highlights
Pet care experience
I treat your babies like my own 💞
Hi! I am totally head over heels for dogs and cats and can't wait to spend some time with yours! I have been born and raised with cats and dogs of many breeds. Family and friends turn to me whenever their babies need looking after, as I'm always ready and willing to drop everything for a furry friend who needs some love or attention. I'm that person who hangs out with the dog at parties. I am a rescue mom, and have volunteered my services to the rescue community. Dogs and cats are my number one loves and my passion in life is bringing a happy wag to their tails and ensuring their safety and comfort at all times. I LOVE walking my own dogs around the neighborhood every chance I get, so your dog will have a great time exploring with me at whatever speed and energy level suits them best!

Ratings and reviews
Katie took great care of my two kitties. I would definitely recommend and book her again!
Katie was so helpful to us and wonderful with our two kitties. I was nervous about leaving a kitten while we went on vacation, but Katie was reassuring and provided lots of feedback and photos so I was able to relax. We would definitely book with Katie again in the future!
I booked less than a week out and Katie was so friendly and professional. Thank you so much!
We can't say enough wonderful things about Katie! Our dog Abby absolutely loves staying with her — every time we drop her off, it's clear she's in the best hands. As pet owners, there's nothing more reassuring than knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for.
Katie takes wonderful care of Maizy!
Katie is wonderful!! She takes such sweet care of our pups, and we have no worries when she looks after them!

Schedule
I am currently wide open, so I have plenty of time to devote to your pet's needs. I am a high school teacher who is taking an extended break from the classroom, so rest assured I am a mature, professional, and responsible caregiver.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I'm often described as extremely organized and meticulous (I tend to plan my day down to the minute), and compassionate, always putting animals first. I've been told that I leave a client's house cleaner than I found it, and being punctual and maintaining great communication are also top priorities for me. I've really bonded with the dogs and cats I've met through Rover; I truly do treat your babies like they're my own. I have a fenced yard and a wonderful neighborhood for walks. I'm also just a three minute walk to a beautiful Webster Groves park where dogs love to explore safely on their leash. If staying with me overnight, I can follow any instructions you have in your home to stay consistent with your pup's routine. But they can also expect to be pampered, lounging on the couch, getting lots of cuddles, and plenty of play time.
Pets
A typical day
I love to explore new routes on walks, and I am physically able to be as high energy as your dog needs me to be! Safety, fun, and good, quality exercise are my top priorities when taking dogs on walks! I also leave plenty of time for snuggles to help your pets feel comfortable and loved.

- Just let me know anything special or important about your dog (behaviors to look for, preferences, etc.) so I can make our time together the best experience possible for them! I'm happy to schedule a Meet & Greet with you prior to any service! We can meet online via Zoom or Google Meet, at your home or a public place. Let me know what works best for you!
