Tailored care, unleashed love!

Pet care experience

I have partnered with non-human family members in all stages of their life. I am very loving and calm. I generally connect with each personality quickly! I send daily updates and video/pics to make away family members feel in touch with at home companions. I work closely with everyone involved to ensure the highest quality care possible. I am also quite familiar with medical processes including injury and illness care and I have worked closely with veterinarians over the years.. I am also willing to travel outside of my city.

Katy was absolutely fabulous!! She took excellent care of our home and precious pups while we were out of town and we were so happy knowing they were in good hands. She was communicative, thoughtful, and provided lots of updates and photos. It’s evident she has lots of experience with animals and we will absolutely reach out to Katy again for future pet services. Highly recommend!

I’m SO excited to have found Katy to take care of my dog, Vivi. Katy went above and beyond to give a lot of love, fun, great, looong walks, and gave just the best care for my dog I could have hoped for. I received photos of her experiences a couple of times a day! Katy is the best!

Katy did an amazing job walking our dog Wilbur. She sent updates and went above and beyond giving him attention and play.
