Balanced Dogs For Balanced Humans
Pet care experience
*100% of pet parents receive photos, but some prefer to get them directly via text so it's not reflected in my Rover stat* Dogs are an amazing mirror of how we are feeling. I believe everyone wants to feel calm and balanced and I try to approach every dog interaction with this in mind. My lifestyle isn't great to own my own my own pet (I travel out of town about once a month) so I love to hang out with other people's instead :) *Unfortunately I am allergic to cats* so I only provide in-home sitting for dog-only households, and prefer extended care (like while someone is on a trip) to 1-day daycare type situations.
Reviews
Katy did a wonderful job with caring for my two dogs! She was very helpful and responsive to their individual needs/ personalities and we were very grateful to know that both dogs were happy and taken care of when we had to go out of town for a few days. We definitely hope to have Katy take care of them again next time we can’t take them with us on a trip!
Katy did a great job caring for our pets. They are healthy and happy. She left the house clean and was very communicative.
Katy was great and Charlie loved his time with her. She was super communicative and did a great job caring for him. Would highly recommend.
Katy was prompt and super responsive for her whole stay. She helped us out with a very last minute booking. Our dog Moose was super tired after from all the fun play and walks. Will definitely book again.

Home is a special place! I treat everyone's home with utmost respect. Growing up in the midwest, being a polite guest and generous host were some of the most important things and I carry those values with me today.
Information Katy M. would like to know about your pet
It's great to be aware of any particular training you'd like me to keep consistent while they're in my care, and of course schedules and likes/dislikes and how dog to dog interactions usually go.
A typical day
I definitely try to make sure that each dog get physical and mental activity. I try to stick as closely to the routines and norms that owners have already so it's not too big of a jolt of unknown for the pups!

I run my own business in music licensing which is a big challenge and super rewarding. One of the best parts is that it allows me to design my own schedule every day of the week so I'm able to plan around a dog's routine.
