Pet care experience

Professional pet snuggler

I am a 34 yr old who has been around animals all my life. I am a nationally certified professional pet groomer of 10 years and have 20 yrs of pet care experience. I am comfortable with all types of animals, giving medications, ect. I love being outdoors and love going for walks to the park or just playing outside with dogs. I started my own neighborhood petsitting business when i was 14 and since moving to missoula I thought it would be a great way to get to know the area and new people, as well as, keeping my passion of petcare going. I keep current on all things pet care and love taking seminars on both petcare and grooming. I believe you should never stop learning about things you are passionate about. I am pet CPR/first aid certified through Pet Tech. I am very detail oriented and very aware of the animals needs. I have experience with all sorts of livestock and exotic animals and have worked in a local pet store so I am educated on nutrition as well. I can't wait to meet your furry friends!

Safety, trust & environment

I do have a unfenced yard at my place so I am able to take your pups to local dog parks or fenced places to run off leash with beau (my dog). I also have a couple different options for walking trails I love to take pups out on for exercise. If staying at your house I like to stick to whatever routine your pup is used to.

Katy was wonderful! I appreciated daily updates with photos of our dog playing outside. She kept our active dog busy. When she left, our home was clean. I would definitely hire Katy again!

Katy was fantastic! She really saved the day when i found out my sitter bailed, and we were all the way in seattle. All the animals loved her ❤️ we'll definitely be using her again but we'll be booking in advance this time ?

This was the second time that Katy has watched Teddy, and he absolutely loves her. I love her because she's great at sending me pictures of him and letting me know he's OK when I'm not there. I never worry about Teddy when Katy is watching him.

Katy is the best! She took my doggo to the bark park, sent me pictures, gave him his meds, and Teddy loved her from the initial meet and greet. I never worried about his well being while I was away and Katy was taking care of him. When I got home from my trip Teddy was happy to see me, but he had obviously been very well taken care of while I'd been away. I will definitely hire Katy again!

I love to know as much about your pets as possible, but important information like medications and any naughty behaviors are the best to know.
