Pet care experience

I'll treat your pets like family!

I love love love animals! I am a very responsible pet owner, and have experience with all different kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, ferrets, hedgehogs, Guinea pigs, birds, hamsters, mice, rats, and reptiles. I can do drop in visits while you are away and can provide pet sitting services for exotic animals, birds, and cats. Why I love pet sitting Growing up, we always had pets in the family. I have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! One of the most stressful things about going away is knowing a pet will be cared for. I like pet sitting so I can alleviate that stress for others. Plus, I get to hang out with awesome pets! Meet my pets Two cats (Oscar and Dahli), and two dogs (Cooper and Otis) My experience administering medication My cat has had to be given medication every day since he was a year and a half old. I have not had experience with injections, but I would feel comfortable administering them.

Truly excellent experience all around - caring for our cats is fussy, but she didn't miss a single detail. She managed to get on the good side of both our prima donnas from the very first visit! Thorough, timely reports/photos as well. Thanks Katie!!

Katie took great care of our shy cats! She was easy to coordinate with and communicative. We'd definitely book her again.

We've been working with Katie for over a year now and she knows my cat so well, it's like she's caring for her own. Her knowledge of how to work with animals is so amazing. She is always our first choice.

Katie is a fantastic Rover! 11/10 would recommend! She manages to capture the silliest photos of our pets playing, and even engages them in all sorts of play time! She goes above and beyond, even vacuuming the litter when it gets a little messy! Thank you Katie!!

Pets

A typical day

I'd love to play with your dog during drop in visits. Most have a favorite toy :) make sure to point it out during the meet n greet! I try to stick to the normal routine the dog is used to. I am also a big cuddle bug with cats, and love when they are comfortable with new people. Even if they aren’t, I’ll do my best to keep the drop in as stress-free as possible! For exotics, I’ll do my best to keep it as stress free as possible and we will talk about what’s best for your pet during the meet n greet!

I'll need to know about any bad habits (chewing, peeing inside, aggression with other dogs, etc) before I can commit to watching your fur baby. I also am unable to care for large pets who are high energy jumpers (onto people). For cats: I’ll need to know about any health conditions to keep an eye on, as well as favorites toys, treats, and hiding spots.
