Hi there,
A bit about me and my experience;
I have worked in the Veterinary field for over 16 years as an Animal Care Assistant. Between work and my own various pets, I have exceptional experience with a wide range of species, personalities, and behaviour. (My gang includes; Dog, Cats, Birds, Lizard, Fish, and Frogs).
Benefits to working in the Veterinary field for so long is that I am capable of watching pets who are in need of daily medications (oral and injectable), and can be trusted to notice signs of illness, but especially chronically ill/geriatric pets, and I'm trained in CPR.
I am looking for some active and meaningful, casual work in between my hours at the clinics/hospitals, that still involves pets. I would love to spend time with your pet(s) and take good care of them for the time you are away, even if that means just a"check-in" friend, or a walk a couple times a week.
I am a friendly and outgoing, trustworthy person, and would only care for other pets as my own. I look forward to meeting you!

My services
(Please feel free to send me an inquiry message if a specific day you're interested in is not highlighted as "available". Dependant on services you're interested in, I might be able to make arrangements). Thank you!
Pet sitting:
Mostly available for shorter durations, between Wednesdays- Saturdays, however more days might be negotiable, and factor dependant.
I prefer to go to the pets home, rather than bringing into mine, due to the safety of my own pets. However EXCEPTIONS of: Cat friendly small quiet dogs, and pocket pets/reptiles that could be kept in seperate room.
I am NOT a groomer! However, I bathe and shave my own pets. If you're interested, we can arrange that as well for a small additional fee.
Check ups/pop ins:
Available daily for check ups at pets home, and frequency can be negotiated based on pets needs (medications etc).
$20 for one daily check in
$30 for twice daily check in
Walks:
30minute walks, minimum. I drive an SUV, so I can fit any size dog, and if a pet parent is comfortable I can take the pet out for longer excursions/car rides/ leash free parks etc. Might have access to a fenced in yards as well. I do focus on behaviour and training, so I can/will maintain that when handling your pets.
$25 per dog
$15 per additional dog
(Multiple dogs at the same time may be negotiated for cost)
Thank you!
Katie

We have never hired a pet sitter before and Katie absolutely EXCEEDED our expectations in every way possible. She looked after our cats and bunny as if they were her own, and her expertise in the veterinary field was just a reassuring bonus that our pets were in the best hands possible. We trust her with our life! Thanks again Katie! You are an absolute gem!!!
She is AMAZING!!
