Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced, compassionate pet care
I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages and sizes—from a gentle giant Mastiff to smaller dogs with daily medication needs. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a long walk/ hike, playtime, cuddles, meds, or just a loving companion, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, so I’ll provide dependable care and keep you updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. I’ll give your pet the same love, attention, and care I’d want for my own.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
So lucky to have found Katy to walk Piper! Piper warmed to her right away and Katy’s flexibility and communication were greatly appreciated!
Drake was very happy with Katy.
Katy took great care of our beloved dog and had excellent communication. I would recommend her without hesitation!
Katy does an excellent job with our cats. She is reliable, friendly, and goes the extra mile to make sure our kitties get love and attention in addition to food, water, and a clean litter box. We always see her on our cat cam playing with them or just sitting and giving them pets. She has definitely won them over, they run right up to her. It really helps us feel better when we have to leave them for an extended time knowing Katy will take great care of them.
Kate was amazing with our two young shih tzus (who are super loving but can be quite stubborn), as well as our diva cat. They all took an immediate liking to her and it was obvious how much she adores and understands animals. Kate will now be our go to for dog walking and overnights!

Schedule
I work part time caring for plants and helping with the on-site pets at my job. It’s a small company with a lot of flexibility so most of the time it’s easy to customize my schedule.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
If you need care in my home, I have a good set up with spaces that can be closed off if you have a shy pet who prefers quiet. As far as outside playtime for dogs, I have a good sized yard and live in a great neighborhood with sidewalks. I’m also able to go on hikes with your dog if that’s their thing. I’m comfortable coming to your home and keeping your pet’s routine as usual if that’s your preference.

A typical day
I get to know each pet’s unique personality. I love to play whatever their favorite way of playing is. I’m a big hiker so if you do have a dog that likes to hike or swim I will do my best to incorporate those things into our day. If your pet prefers to lounge around I’m happy to respect that and just be nearby so they feel safe.
