Availability
I am a Nurse Practitioner, licensed in family practice with experience in emergency & internal medicine. Currently, however, I am taking a break from the health-care industry (for my own sanity) & look forward to spending quality time with your fur-babies, offering my undivided attention.

About Katy K.

Safety, trust & environment
Happy to help with any potty “accidents” or incidental messes one might encounter when caring for animals. I will follow any/all instructions to ensure your fur-baby feels as safe & as comfortable as possible while you’re away! I know how important routine can be for our pets, and understand how scary it can be sometimes when meeting new people, so I am always reading animals’ body language to assess their mood & adjust plans if needed. That being said, I also love taking the more extroverted fur-friends out for adventures, whether it’s just walking around the block, or a hike through the woods! In any case, I’ll be sure to keep your pet safe, as well as keeping them happy & as stress-free as possible.
Information Katy K. would like to know about your pet
If your pet is shy, or (especially for cats) prefers not to be bothered during drop-in visits, please let me know! I aim to avoid any unnecessary anxiety/stress for your pets while their owners are away!
A typical day
We will spend time doing whatever your pet prefers! If playing ball is on their wishlist, you got it! Frisbee in the yard? Easy peasy. Tug of war? I’m your gal. When it comes to cats, I’m a master at playing “string” and am also happy to try a bit of laser & whatever else might fancy your kitty!

Pet care experience
I’ve had a passion for quality animal care since around age 10. It was then, over one summer break, that I started a non-profit dog-walking service called “Kids Who Care,” in our large newly developing neighborhood, subsequently donating all proceeds to the local animal shelter, Noah’s Ark. Ever since, my love for animals continues to grow exponentially, as well as awe for the relationships we humans can develop with animals of any kind! I have experience with cats, dogs, reptiles, birds & fish.. you name it!

Reviews
We could not be happier with the care and attention that Katy gave to our kitty while we were away. She provided daily photos, detailed updates and just went above and beyond our expectations in every aspect. Not only does Katy have a kind and caring heart- she developed a quick bond with our grumpy little princess and understood her kitty-quirks right away. Highly recommend- Katy is a star!
Katy was wonderful. She was great at giving updates and sending lots of pictures. She was very kind to my shy cat and I will definitely be using her again. Thanks, Katy!
Katie is the best!! She takes such wonderful care of my kitties and they clearly love her!
Katy did a great job taking care of my dog. She was on time and provided great updates. She spent time playing and cuddling with my dog so I feel very comfortable using her services again.
