I hired Katie, she’s wonderful! I HIGHLY recommend her. My Nala absolutely loves her! She gets so soooooo excited when she sees her car drive up & goes NUTS when she sees her get out of the car. ❤️ Katie is a godsend 🐾🐶

What do you love most about your job?
Meeting all sorts of new furry friends! I have yet to meet a dog or cat that I didn't vibe with.
What inspired you to start your own business?
After years of working in the corporate world, I decided to do what I really loved and started my own pet sitting business after 15 years of it being a side hustle.
Why should our clients choose you?
I grew up with dogs, cats and pretty much any little creature my mom would allow me to have in the house. Because of this, I decided from a fairly young age that I would become a veterinarian and save all of the animals. I enrolled in the Pre-Veterinary/Animals Sciences program at the University of Wyoming, where I spent 2 years of my undergrad. I ultimately changed my major as I felt veterinary wasn't the career for me, but my desire to care for animals never wavered. I started pet sitting for hire when I was 18.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I have added different cleaning measures when staying overnight in my clients home. This includes additional disinfection of commonly touched surfaces, along with my normal protocol of washing my used linens, dishes etc. Client visits are conducted with face masks indoors and at a comfortable distance outside.
