Pet care experience

Caring, pet lover!

Hi! My name is Katie! I am originally from Illinois! I have since then moved to Orlando! ☺️ While living in the Central Florida area I have been able to care for many different pets. Due to my success and passion with pets, many clients recommended that I should start a pet care business. This passion and love for animals has opened the door for me to start my own pet care business called “Sunshine Sitters.” With starting this business, I would love to give your pets the love and care that they deserve when you are away, date night, etc. If you have any questions about the services that I offer, please feel free to message me!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and trust are very important to me! Your pets safety is my number one priority when I take care of them. I hope to build trust with the fur baby owners and their pets while working with them! In my clients home, I work well with check-lists! I like having a visual of the pets daily routines ☺️ As well as their emergency vet contact, their quirks, feeding routines, playtime, and daily habits! I do my best to take the best care of pets as possible ☺️

I can't be without my Katie ;). She goes beyond the call of duty. My cats actually greeted her and they never do that with anyone else. To me, that's golden. Highly recommend. She is also very friendly, which is nice.

Katie is a super sweet young woman with a lively spirit. She seemed very comfortable with my two Rambunctious German Shepherds.

Katie was great with communication. She was very attentive to our babies and took lots of pics to show us they were doing well. Katie stayed at our home to make sure the puppy (10 weeks) had plenty of potty breaks and our Girl (4years) was able to go for a walk. We would definitely have Latie come watch our pups again.

Katie was so great!! She was very attentive to my three babies and ensured to keep me updated with everything! We loved having her stay with our kitties and plan on having her back again. Thanks Katie!
