About Katy H.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I treat my clients pets the way I would want someone to treat my fur babies. I love giving love and attention to animals, and providing whatever is needed to make sure they feel safe and taken care of!
Information Katy H. would like to know about your pet
Eating habits Temperament Activities/Toys they enjoy Any special needs No breed preferences, but I am a small human so larger dogs should be of a calmer temperament since some could potentially weigh more than I do. (I have been grass skiing because of a big dog that wanted to run, and it made me a bit nervous!)
A typical day
I love an animal that is a snuggle-bug! My favorite Rover moments have been cuddling kitties who are extra affectionate. I also love playing with the toys they love, teaching them tricks for treats (if they're treat motivated), and giving as many pets/belly rubs as possible. If you let me know what your pet likes, I'll try my best to make it happen!

Pet care experience
Hello! I'm Katy, and I spent the last 11 of 12 years working in Student Activities and Orientation at universities. In January 2026, I decided to make a big change and switch careers - which is why I'm now in Cosmetology School! I have a bachelor's degree in Graphic Design and Photography, and a master's degree in Higher Education Administration. Through my experience working at a university, I've also become incredibly detail oriented, great at multi-tasking, able to work with many different personalities, and I'm very used to following outlined rules and regulations while planning far in advance for the best final outcome. Because I'm a photographer, I'll also get some great photos of your fur baby for you! I'm currently am very happily the human-parent of two kitties named Football and Nibbler, named after Adventure Time and Futurama characters respectively. I adore them with my whole heart, and will take care of your pets the way I'd want someone to take care of my own. I'd love to meet you and your pet, and see if we're a good match!

Reviews
Super responsive and kind, very easy to work with! We would absolutely hire her again if needed.
Katy was fantastic with our cat and dog! They clearly adored her, and we felt so comfortable knowing she was looking after them. Communication was fantastic, and we got plenty of photos. We will definitely be asking her to look after them again!
We are repeat clients of Katy because she provides excellent care for our cats while we're away, including one who is normally incredibly shy of strangers. She is responsive, clearly loves cats and gives them good pets and scratches, and she always sends great photos. Another fabulous cat sitting experience!
Katy is our go-to for cat care these days. She is always on time and thorough with her services and we couldn't be more thankful.
