**Located in Duisburg-Süd**
I am currently a librarian and I have just recently moved to the South Duisburg area with my husband, John. For homestays, we usually both help care for the pets.
I am experienced with dogs and cats (and a variety of farm animals!). Not only have I had pets all of my life, I have years of experience as a pet sitter and dog walker. I was a pet sitter/house sitter for 5yrs, from 2003-2008. I recently started caring for pets again, from September 2017-July 2019, while I completed my MSc. My service area is unfortunately limited to around the South Duisburg area. I am comfortable with all sizes and breeds, and have experience giving medication to animals. I also have experience with dogs recovering from surgery who may have limited mobility or require special considerations. Most of the animals I have cared for and owned have been resecues, so I have experience in that area. I do work full-time, so in the event of house sitting during the school year, I'd be unable to visit your pet from approximately 8am-430pm. I would've able care for the pet both before and after work, including walks. However, I am available to stay with your pet throughout the day during school holidays (which are extensive). Due to restrictions at my apartment, I am unable to proved pet boarding. Thank you! I look forward to the opportunity to meet both you and your pet.
Katie is a wonderful cat sitter!
We got photos and videos every time, she really took wonderful care of our two cats.
She even started the cat Olympics. 😂
Next time we will ask Katie again. :)
Katie was an incredible companion for our cat Kenzo while we were away for a couple of weeks.
We got daily updates and pictures, and she was very communicative throughout the period overall - we were never left wondering how he was.
As we had her stay at our house and house-sit at the same time, the house was left in an impeccable condition and we couldn't complain about a thing. Everything was clean and tidy, and as we left it!
Kenzo was happy, healthy and well fed when we returned and we would definitely use Katie again, and recommend her fully.
