Delightfully Engaging Sitter!
Pet care experience
Dogs might not be able to speak, but they teach us about the world inside ourselves. They inspire us to be compassionate, to actively listen and to step outside of our comfort zones. It's hard not to be optimistic and enthusiastic around a dog, which is why I became a pet sitter. When I was a small child my household was full of animals of all shapes and sizes. I have always enjoyed taking care of dogs, as well as cats. I love to be active with pets and engage them by creating puzzles and games to stimulate their curiosity. I'm a creative person, and am excited by whatever a day has to throw at me. I can't wait to meet new dogs and people alike! You don't have to worry about your pet when they are in my care. I will look after them like they are my family. No matter what your pet needs, I'm here for them. Please reach out to me if you have any questions about my services, I'd love to learn more about your dog.
Reviews
Our dog can be a bit of a handful and Rowan does great with him! Sent us a handful of good pictures of him in his favorite spots too.
Katie stayed with our puppy for one overnight while my boyfriend and I spent the night out of town. She arrived at our apartment a bit later than she said she would in the evening (by about 2 hours or so), which was frustrating as we could have left later if we knew she couldn’t get here at the initially agreed upon time. Our puppy ended up spending most of the afternoon in his crate and then was only out for a couple hours before bedtime, when he’s crated again. She sent a few photos, but there wasn’t much communication about how he ate, despite mentioning to her that we’ve been having issues with him finishing all his food before we left. I let her know around what time we’d be arriving back home before we left. She then messaged me on our way back home in the morning, asking what time we’d be home. I told her the time (actually about an hour earlier than we had planned to be). She asked if she needed to stay at our apartment until we got there or if she could go. I began to feel like we were inconveniencing her, and told her she could leave but asked that she crate our puppy before she left. She did not. Overall, Katie did seem to have great chemistry with our puppy and I think she genuinely enjoys animals, but I wish there had been more communication and punctuality on her end. I felt like she took her time getting to the booking and then was rushing to leave. It just didn’t inspire a whole lot of confidence that she really wanted to be there.
Katie did an excellent job of taking care of our beloved, high energy and human loving Malinois! She sent us photos and kept us up-to-date on how she and Mesa were doing. We had Katie stay at our home and she took care of both our dog and our home. We highly recommend Katie and will ask her to stay again,
Katie was great with our two doggos. She was very responsive and was great about keeping us updated. She also took good care of our apartment while we were gone for a weekend. We would definitely be happy to have Katie take care of our dogs again!
