Introduction
Hi there! My name's Katie, and I am the owner/operator of Sonoma County Playful Pets. Playful Pets services parts of Sonoma County including: Sebastopol, Santa Rosa, Rohnert Park, Cotati, Petaluma, and Windsor. I offer daily dog walks between the hours of 9am-4pm, playtime at the park, and home visits for both pups & kitties while you are away at work or on vacation. I take on many long term clients, so if you are needing your dog walked multiple days a week, every week I'm your girl! You will receive friendly and personable service, and I will play with and lavish attention on your pets while always taking care of your fur babies as if they were my own! GLOWING REVIEWS ~ Katie was awesome! I know my dog was well taken care of. I love the fact that Katie kept me so well updated and sent pictures of the whole experience! Would recommend! -- Cortney R. I knew when I met Katie that I would be able to trust her, not only with my dog Rupert but with my home. I was gone for a week at Christmas, and she sent me pictures and messages letting me know how she and Rupert were doing. It allowed me to enjoy my time away with family, knowing that my “four legged” family was being loved and cared for. My dog is older and could not travel with me, and had not been left with a stranger before. Katie took the time for a meet & greet ahead of time and took notes on Rupert’s routine and health. Everything worked out great. Thank you Katie!!!! – Jaynie C. Katie is great. Very attentive, reliable and helpful. She comforted my 2 kitty cats while I was away last Summer for 10 days. They were well cared for and the transition back home to them was as if I never left. She updated me frequently and I’m so glad I hired her…I will again if I have the need… I recommend her. – Trish M. I highly recommend Sonoma County Playful Pets. Katie took such wonderful care of my dog for two weeks. He felt very comfortable and happy around her which put me at ease while away. Daily updates and pics of my dog really made me smile too. I look forward to hiring Katie again. -- Cathy P. Katie was great! Not only was she able to get us in very last minute, but I was very impressed with her service. She sent photos of our dogs playing and relaxing with her. I would definitely recommend Katie and will be using her again in the future! -- Jaclyn C. I hired Katie to visit my dog and cat twice daily while I was away on vacation. During her visits Katie walked my dog, fed both pets, cleaned out the cat’s litter box, spent time playing with/petting/cuddling the animals. I felt fully comfortable leaving my animals in her care. She texted me regular updates with pictures of her spending time with my pets, and I could tell that my animals warmed to her quickly. My dog in particular is usually very slow-to-warm with new people, but Katie had the magic touch, both with her and with my cat. Katie is reliable, warm and friendly, and very professional. I would definitely hire her again. – Alyssa C. Katie has pet sat for our two dogs and cat many times while my husband and I have gone on vacation. I'm always anxious to leave my dog because she has seizures on a regular basis and always needs her medication at a specific time, both in the morning and at night and Katie always made a point of arriving on time to feed her and give her medication. She was in constant contact with us so we never worried about our pets. We will continue to use her services! -- Susan H. My dog and I are so thankful we met Katie! Having a very shy fur-baby, I was nervous to have to find a sitter for an upcoming vacation trip I had planned. A friend referred me to Katie and at first sight, we were immediately at ease. Katie is very warm, compassionate, and patient; it seemed that my dog Abbott was immediately bonded. She really personalized my pet sitting experience sending me photos & updates of their daily dog walks and other adventures. She treated him like he was her own and that is all I could have asked for while I was away. I am very grateful to have found Katie and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. -- Michelle M I absolutely LOVE to keep my clients up to date with their pets’ daily adventures by sending daily updates complete with pictures and video via text messages and email. Have you ever hired a pet sitter, only to worry and wonder the entire time you’re away what your pets have been up to, or whether or not your pet sitter showed up at all? When you leave your fur baby with me, you will receive plenty of updates, pictures and videos of your pets’ daily adventures so you will always know they are being taken care of, and are enjoying their playful day while you are away!

The dog sitter I was interviewing was very forthcoming with all the questions. I felt very comfortable with her (Katie Holm). We will be visiting Petaluma CA in Dec & Katie will be taking care of our dog.

Katie did a fantastic job taking care of our kitties while we were away. She was in constant communication with us and even sent pictures of our kitties from her visits. She has a natural rapport with animals and it can be noticed when she comes to meet them at her initial visit. We will definitely use Katie again in the future for our pet care needs.

    1) You can send me a message requesting service.

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    I began working for a well known professional pet sitting company back in 2015, loved working for my clients and their pets so much that I decided to open my own business in May of 2016, servicing parts of Sonoma County.
