Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable walks & Peace of mind
Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them isn't just my job—it's something I'm truly passionate about. With over 10 years of hands-on experience, I've had the privilege of caring for pets of all ages, breeds, and personalities. Whether you have a playful new puppy learning the ropes, a senior dog who needs extra patience and gentle care, or an energetic companion who loves long walks and adventures, I'm here to provide the love, attention, and care they deserve. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to get to know their unique routines, personalities, and needs. My experience doesn't stop with dogs. I've also cared for farm animals, including pigs, so I'm comfortable working with a variety of animals and their individual care requirements. When you trust me with your pets, you're trusting someone who will treat them like family. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your pets are safe, happy, and cared for as if they were my own. Whether you're at work, on vacation, or simply need an extra helping hand, you can count on dependable, compassionate care every step of the way.

Safety, trust & environment
I would care for your pet like they are my own. I have a fenced yard and I’m always alert of my surroundings. I know that’s it’s a being deal to trust a stranger with your fur baby so I would only want the best for them while you are gone.
Ratings and reviews
We have used Katie for a few years now to care for our Declan in our absence. She has been nothing short of amazing and attentive in caring for our pets. From housesitting to walking and everything in between. Katie is always our first call when we need a sitter. She’s simply wonderful.
I’m happy to recommend Katie Ward as a pet sitter on Rover. She has a genuine love for dogs and takes their care seriously. Katie owns a dog named Jolene, who is well cared for, exercised, and treated like family. She is dependable, patient, and attentive—qualities that matter when someone is trusting her with their pet. Katie also helps care for Dolly, a working dog with the Knox County Sheriff’s Department owned by her fiancé. This experience has given her a strong appreciation for structured routines, consistency, and trust. She understands that every dog has different needs and personalities and takes the time to care for them properly. I’m confident she would do an excellent job caring for other people’s dogs and would treat them as if they were her own.
Katie is my best friend of over 20 years. She has 2 fur babies of her own. A Belgian Malinois and a German Shepard. She takes the utmost care of them. I would trust Katie to take care of my own pets like they were her own. I highly recommend her for this service!
