Pet Sitting in Susanville

About: Hi there, I'm Katie! I have over 15 years of experience caring for pets, both personally and professionally. I'm currently a veterinary technician student with hands-on experience in an animal clinic, where I assist with exams, treatments, and daily care. I'm confident administering medications — including oral, topical, and injectable — and I’m trained to monitor pets for signs of illness or discomfort. In 2015, I worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility, managing playgroups and caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve also had pets my whole life, including senior dogs with mobility issues. I understand how to provide gentle, attentive care tailored to each pet’s age and needs. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family, and I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect. I'm available for walks and drop-ins on Mondays, Fridays and weekends with prior notice, and around my clinic schedule (Tues–Thurs). I try to stay flexible and will always communicate clearly about availability. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. As a veterinary technician student, I’m trained to recognize signs of illness, stress, and discomfort, and I’m confident handling pets with medical or behavioral needs. For walks, I check all gear for fit and security before heading out, and I stick to safe, pet-friendly routes. I never force interactions with other animals or people, and I tailor the walk to your pet’s pace and personality. During drop-ins, I ensure doors and gates are secure, follow any feeding or medication instructions closely, and give your pet the attention they need to feel comfortable while you’re away. You’ll receive photo or video updates for peace of mind every visit.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs of all ages for multiple years! I have experience with basic obedience skills. I ensure you I will treat your pets as if they were my own with the care they deserve! I am currently studying for my NCLEX for nursing and have lots of spare time to interact and play with your pups! I am available any day of the week I love going for walks and tailoring the cares to the specific dog and their needs. I have a pup as well that I could bring along to ensure your dog has company or I can leave him at home!

“She did a great job with my two dogs at last minute she accepted to watch them. She is very friendly and always showed up on time if not early. She took a lot of pictures to show how the dogs were doing. I definitely would recommend her and will be asking for each time. Thank you so much Cate for everything!!!”
