Loving Care When You’re Not There!

Hello! I pride myself in being a caring, devoted, and detail oriented caretaker. I will care for your pets as my own, making sure to get to know their individual personalities and needs. I’ve been passionate about animal care since I was a kid probably because we were not allowed to have pets in our apartment complex growing up. Even so, I found ways to be around animals by volunteering at animal shelters and caring for friends and family’s pets. Of course, I jumped at the opportunity to have my own pets. Now I live with my cat Ginger (calico) and dog Trixie (pitbull), the sweetest girls! Outside my experience caring for my own pets and pet sitting for friends and family, I have also been a foster parent for the past two years which has taught me the value of patience and thinking quick on my feet. I have seen how startling and terrifying it is for pets to be alone and in new environments. I make every effort to help them feel comfortable and slowly come out of their shells. As your sitter I take the same approach. My goal is to help your furry family member feel and be safe while you are away. Fun fact: I have also volunteered at a barn sanctuary so k have some experience caring for horses, pigs, and goats! I am happy to set up a meet and greet before officially sitting to ensure you feel at ease and so that I can get to know your pet. I will follow instructions as listed and send a daily photo and update. I am responsive and committed to making sure you and your pet both feel supported and cared for.

House Sitting • Mar 17, 2026

Katy was a fantastic pet sitter! She took great care of Peewee and made sure he were happy, comfortable, and well looked after the entire time. Communication was smooth and reliable, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. I came home to happy an happy dog and everything just as I left it. I would absolutely recommend Katy to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I am a graduate student so my schedule is quite flexible except for the days I am teaching but even on those days I am free early in the morning around 6am and in the evening around 5pm.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

To ensure I am meeting your standards I schedule meet and greets in advance of any official sitting. This allows me to get to know your pet but also get a sense of where things are in your home and any major things to avoid. At every visit, I make sure food and water bowls are full, litter boxes are clean, potty breaks have been taken, and last but not least that some play time is incorporated!
