Pet care experience
Hello, fur parents! I have been a dog mom for 8 years. My sweet Shiba Inu mix, Sky, entered my life as a rescue. She has lived a life of allergies and intestinal problems. We have gone through allergy shots, intestinal surgery & recovery, etc. If your pup has special needs, I'm your girl! In addition to caring for my spirited pup, I have been volunteering with humane societies, equestrian centers, sheep/goat barns for many years. I've also worked as a kennel tech a pet-boarding kennel. I grew up with cats/dogs of various breeds/sizes and I’m the go to girl for pet-sitting fur babies of friends/fam. I'm experienced in caring for puppies, adult, and elderly dogs. I’m comfortable administering injections & oral medications. I’m happy to meet & greet your fur family member prior to sitting. Going out of town and need me to help with a few other things when I pop in? I'm great with plants, rabbits, mice/rats/gerbils, lizards, and fish too. No extra charge. I'm happy to bathe, scrub, brush, and dry your pup! I do not do any scissor work. I look forward to taking care of your fur children as if they were my own!
Reviews
Katie is a passionate and reliable dog walker and caregiver. I cannot even say Katie's name in my house without my dog running to the door and wagging her tail expecting to see her. Dog's have been a part of Katie's life since she was a toddler and she has worked professionally with dogs in a kennel environment, as well. Katie has my highest recommendation!

Information Katie L. would like to know about your pet
Prior to spending time with your fur babies, for safety and to make the most of our time together I do ask for the following information: -If you pup is trained, what commands/rules would you like me to have them follow? None is fine, I can be the fun aunt! -Is your pup okay with other dogs/animals? Do they have "triggers"? i.e. small dogs, squirrels, etc anything I should keep an eye out for. -Does your dog pull the lead or guide the walk? If so, would you like me to let them? -Can your pup have treats? If so, are any treats fine, yours only, etc.? -Does your pup have dietary restrictions or allergies? -If you would like me to feed your pup, please provide detailed instructions- how much, where is the food, are they aggressive with food? etc. -If you would like me to transport your pup in my car to go to a special park, etc. can they have the car windows down or partially down? I'll remind them that all paws must remain in the vehicle at all times, but this info is always good to know :)
A typical day
I am happy to walk your pups in their favorite areas or parks. Let me know what they love & what their limitations are. We will have some fun! :)
