Pet care experience

Animal lover, former APA! Employee

Hello, I'm Katy! I've grown up with animals and have a wide range of both personal and professional experience working with animals. I used to do local pet sitting while I was growing up and took on more professional responsibility in college working at a kennel. I've always had pet sitting jobs on the side and worked at Austin Pets Alive! For 4 years where I learned a lot more about dog behavior and understanding and caring for different kinds of animals. I work 10 hour days M-Th but My boyfriend works from home so someone is still home with them throughout the day. If I’m staying at your house, I would be able to go back on lunch is you’re ~5 miles away from AVES off of 360 for a quick potty break! I currently have a foster dog who would come with me to house sitting jobs. she isn’t a big fan of other dogs but is older and does well on her own, so she would be kept in a separate area/extra room. I look forward to meeting you and your babies 🙂

We booked Katy for another trip out of town. She’s always reliable and communicative and super sweet to our pup!

Katy was amazing!! Our dog and two cats loved hanging with her at our home - she sent pics from every visit which made us feel so at ease being away! Looking forward to booking Katy again - highly recommend her!!

Safety, trust & environment

I would provide whatever care you ask me to provide while I watch your animals. I have experience with different behaviors and am comfortable with whatever you need!

Pets

A typical day

I’m an active person so if you have dogs who need to release energy, I’m happy to take them on walks, to the park, etc. I would love to have them sleep with me if they are allowed and want to do so and will make sure they get lots of cuddles during the stay!

As long as I know about any medical issues or behavioral quirks your dog has so I can care for them the way they need it, I’ll be all set!
