Caring, Fun, & Responsible Sitter!

Pet care experience

Hello! I'm excited to be considered for you fur baby needs. 😊 I currently work in veterinary research and have many years of experience working in boarding kennels. I have owned dogs, cats, and horses my whole life. I also have experience with bunnies and guinea pigs! I have reliable transportation, and I'm willing to spend as much time with your pet as you wish! I am comfortable providing oral and topical medications, as well as injections. I have watched multiple diabetic pets and have no issues working around their important feeding/med schedule. No breed or size restrictions, I'd love to care for your fur baby like they were my own! Many of my past pet sitting clients are still very close friends that I love to keep tabs on.

Katie did a wonderful job cat-sitting for us. She is communicative and friendly and completely put our minds at ease that our cat was well cared for while we were out of town. We highly recommend her!

Information Katie B. would like to know about your pet

Any quirks! Whether it's digging, resource guarding, a slow eater, etc. The more I know, the better I can care for your pet. I don't have breed restrictions, but I can't accommodate aggressive pets in my home. I'd be happy to care for them at your residence!

A typical day

If your neighborhood has safe places to walk in I like to stay in areas where your pet is familiar or comfortable. There are also some really nice wooded trails around Battle Creek if they are more of the adventure type!

Availability

I work full time but have some flexibility with working from home. I prefer dogs that can be left alone for up to 8 hours when doing drop ins or house sitting to account for my occasional full days at the office. I have more flexibility with dogs boarding at the house with us! My husband also has a hybrid schedule so someone is usually home for at least half the work day. I free up my schedule following work hours to spend the most time with your pet, including overnight stays at your house.
