About Katie

Hello!

I would love to be your petsitter because of my love for animals! My current living situation doesn't allow pets, so being able to look after your animals is the solution I've found! My family has 3 pets, 2 dogs and 1 cat. Our dogs are Nitro and Nellie! Nellie (In the 1st and 3rd picture) is a sweet rescue, she loves cuddling more than anything and would never leave bed if she didnt have to get up to eat! We got both of our animals from the shelter, and although Nitro is fine, Nellie is incredibly skittish and overprotective because she was sadly abused. With that, I've learned so much about rescue animals and how to be comfortable with them. Nitro is not pictured because we can never get him to sit still for a picture! He is incredibly energetic and a little trouble maker! Our cat's name is Miracle, because when we found her she was a stray who'd gotten hit by multiple cars, it was a miracle that she lived! Now she spends most of her days lounging and sneaking bites of the dogs food when she thinks no one's looking!

I have gained my expirience from looking after and caring for friend's and family's pets, I figured it was just time to broaden my horizens! I have been walking my elderly neighbors dogs for them for about 6 months now for them, and have house and pet sit for as long as a full month! I have also been a volunteer at my local animal shelter for 4 years now, so I have plenty of expirience with rescue pets and fully understand skittish animals. I am absolutely delighted to just walk your dog, or even house and pet sit for you! I will go above and beyond just coming to checking up on them, I would be more than happy to spend the night so they don't get lonely, and take them to parks during the day! I am an avid runner, so if they are energetic enough I'm more than happy to take them on a run or walk! Or if they're on the older side, I spend a lot of my days going to a park and reading, and would be thrilled to have some furry company! Aside from that, I'm incredibly flexible with my services! So anything you need just let me know!

The reason I applied to be on Pawshake is solely because of my love for animals! All my friends say they've never met anyone who loves and cares about animals as much as I do! I will be so excited to love on your pet- and am excited to hear from you!!
