About Katie
Hi there,
A bit about me and my experience;
I have worked in the Veterinary field for over 20 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 certified in CPR.
I am looking for some active and meaningful, casual work in between my regularl work hours that still involves caring for 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 being a "check-in" friend, or a walk for as many or little times you need a week.
I am a friendly and outgoing, trustworthy person, and would only care for your pet(s) as my own. I look forward to meeting you!

My services:
NOTE: Please feel free to send me any inquiry message!!
Especially if a specific day you're interested in is not highlighted as "available" on my calendar... Dependant on services you're interested in, I might be able to make arrangements. Thank you!
Pet Sitting:
Mostly available for shorter durations, however this can be factor dependant.
I prefer to go to the pets home, rather than bringing into mine, due to the health and safety of my own pets.
However, EXCEPTIONS include: 1. Non-reactive, well mannered, quiet dogs, and 2. pocket pets/reptiles that could be kept in seperate room.
I also have a fenced in yard for dogs to run and play freely.
* please note:
- Any dogs boarding at my place will need to be either kennel trained and/or ok to be seperated by a gate in seperate room for safety of them as well as my own if/when I am not home*.
- Rates for small animal/pocket pet boarding can be discussed based on the pet (ex. A gecko will be different than a dog).
Check ups/pop ins:
Available daily for check ups at pets home. Any more than twice daily visits can be discussed (ex. medicationsetc):
$35 for one daily check in
$60 for twice daily check in
Walks:
30minute walks, minimum:
$30 per dog
$20 per additional dog from same house hold, on same walk
(Multiple dogs at the same time may be negotiated for cost)
I drive an SUV, so no problem fitting any size dog, if a pet parent rather I take the pet out for longer excursions/car rides/ leash free parks etc. I do focus on behaviour and training, so I can/will maintain that when handling your pets.
Additional services:
If you have any specific requests or questions please let me know. I am happy to help where I can, otherwise I am happy to guide you in the right direction as best I can.
Please reach out with any questions you may have.
Thank you!
