Highlights
Pet care experience
Responsible, fun, and empathetic!
I grew up with family pets, including dogs, cats and ferrets. I shared a dog with my ex for 6 years, and she ended up staying with him, because he had more time for her and a better environment. My ex-roommate's cat is diabetic, and so I have always been the one who cares for him while my roommate was out of town, and I still do even though I moved out. I stay at their place and give Turtle (kitty) two insulin shots a day and food, litter maintenance and love. I have also sat for many other pets through word of mouth over the years for friends, family and co-workers. I live on my own and have no pets or kids, and I have reliable transportation. I can be available on short notice for cats, dogs and other pets of all types. I have experience with senior pets, medication administration, pets who need diapers, and pets who need special diets. I love to cuddle up with your fur babies and give them lots of attention! I will follow your instructions perfectly and make sure your pets are comfortable, safe and well cared for while you are gone.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I am not able to care for pets in my home at this time due to the rules in my apartment building. I'm happy to drop in or stay in your home. I believe in compassion for pets and meeting them where they are at to provide the best individual care for each pet.
Ratings and reviews
Katy is wonderful! I came home to a very happy dog - Katy was thoughtful, consistent, and provided great care.
Katy has been watching our miniature dachshund, Goose, for a few years now whenever we need the help. Our little guy is wonderful, but can be difficult when meeting new people, especially walkers and sitters. Katy has been able to set clear boundaries with Goose and build a warm bond with him. Goose is also reactive to other dogs when walking, and Katy has been able to navigate those situations without any trouble. We absolutely trust her with our dog.
I've had my cat, Pigpen, for two years. He is lovable and good with strangers, but cuddling has never been much of his thing until he met Katy. She has a genuine care for animals and they have a genuine care for her. Beyond that, she makes an excellent house sitter and followed my cat's daily routine to the letter, filling his treat puzzlers in the morning and his wet food in the evening. She is an excellent animal and house watcher and I can't recommend her enough!
Katy has been taking care of my diabetic cat Turtle and my other two cats any time I have had to be out of town for probably about 4 years. She has been able to easily adjust with any changes in his medication and all of them are always well taken care of and in good spirits when I return.
Katy is an excellent pet sitter! She is reliable, great with elderly pets with timely medicine needs, and I feel safe knowing my pets are in her care. I highly recommend and support Katy as a pet sitter!
