Katie
founder of Katie's Pet Pals
I've always considered myself an "animal person," but it wasn't until I adopted my first cat that I truly recognized my inner crazy cat lady or what a dedicated feline enthusiast I am. I have 2 cats, Luke, my ginger girl and Tofu, my sometime sassy tuxedo kitty. When I needed pet care for them, I realized the worry associated with finding someone I trusted. This experience motivated me to begin pet sitting, which ultimately led to the establishment of Katie's Pet Pals, LLC.
In January of 2020, I transitioned from my career as a fashion & product stylist to embark on my journey as a pet sitter. I started dog walking and pet sitting on popular pet care apps and worked at a doggie daycare before officially launching Katie's Pet Pals, LLC. My goal is to provide pet parents with peace of mind that their fur babies are being excellently cared for while also creating a low-stress option for scheduling pet sitting services.
Flash forward to today and I'm truly grateful for the families that trust me, the pals I have made and the support they show my business. Thank you to my my existing Pet Pals, and I'm excited to make many more!

pet sitter
Originally from Sydney, Australia, I have called Dallas home for the past 15 years, where I live with my husband, daughter, and our golden retriever, Henry.
After 20 years of experience in luxury hotels, spas, and salons, I recently took a hiatus to reflect on my passions. I realized that working with animals is what truly brings me joy. I have cared for animals my entire life, and our home is the go-to choice for family and friends when they need pet care. I began filling in for pet sitters and found the experience incredibly rewarding.
I look forward to meeting your pets and can assure you that I will care for them as if they were my own.

Hi, I’m M.E.! I’m a nonprofit professional, small business owner, and lifelong animal lover. I work in communications and nonprofit development and also co-own Fool’s Kava House with my wife, Ashley.
Outside of work, much of my life revolves around my own crew of pups. We have four Yorkies and a Rhodesian Ridgeback! Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality, quirks, and routine.
I’m dependable, patient, and excited to give your pets the same love, attention, and thoughtful care I give my own.
Melissa
pet sitter
I’m a caring and dependable pet lover who understands that every animal has their own unique personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m committed to giving each pet the patience, love, and attention they deserve. As a lifelong cat mom (and now empty nester), I truly consider my cats to be my children and an important part of our family. I’m happy to care for all furry family members and make sure everyone gets the attention they need.
Trusting someone with your pets also means trusting them in your home. I take that responsibility seriously and will always treat your home with respect, care, and professionalism.

pet sitter
Hi! I'm Ivana, and I am a professional dancer and dance teacher! Having danced since I was little, the performing arts have been a huge part of my life, and it brings me so much joy to make it my career!
As a dance educator working with kids ages 2-18, you can count on me to apply the same amount of dedication, compassion, and patience to caring for your pet's needs!
As a dog owner myself, I understand how important our furry friends are in our lives, and so I will make sure to care for your pets as if they were my own!
