About: Hi there! I’m Katie, and I’ve been caring for dogs for over 13 years. I grew up surrounded by pups of all kinds—big, small, young, senior, purebred, and rescue—so understanding their unique personalities and needs comes naturally to me. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or helping with medication and routines, I treat every dog like family. I’m here to give your pet the same love, patience, and care I’ve given mine my whole life! I’m a full-time nursing student with a flexible schedule and no other job, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets! Whether it’s daily visits, overnights, or just extra cuddles, I’m happy to fit into their routine. In My Home: I live in a pet-friendly apartment in a quiet neighborhood that’s great for walks. While my backyard isn’t fenced, I have a secure in-ground leash for safe outdoor time, and there’s also an open field nearby where pets can play using a 15ft leash if they enjoy more space. Inside, your pet will feel right at home with my super friendly dog and two curious (but respectful) kitties. I provide a cozy, supervised environment full of love, playtime, and attention based on your pet’s needs and personality. In Client Homes: I stick to your pet’s normal routine to keep things comfortable and consistent. I offer feeding, walks, medication if needed, playtime, and plenty of affection. I always treat your pet—and your home—with the same care and respect I give my own.

About: I've taken care of dogs of all kinds for a long time. I watch and stay with several dogs on a pretty regular basis. I would love for it to be one of yours I currently don't have a job so caring for pets is basically my job. However I do have several errands that i run on a regular basis. I love waking so dog walks are always an option. Keeping the dog/cat on their schedule. Going outside and playing ball or just running around with them.

About: We will treat your dog(s) as our own. My friends tell me I have a special way of patting dogs and they (the dogs) seem to love it. They will get good belly rubs, behind-the-ear scratches and whatever love they need from both my husband and me. Our large fenced yard will entice your dog(s) to run and play as well as relax. We are comfortable looking after more than one dog at a time as we have a dog of our own. Just an FYI, Fiona, our 14.5 year old passed away in December 2023. We adopted Meeka in February 2024 who loves playing with other dogs and people. We also just adopted Simba in mid-April 2024. He is slowly getting socialized and loves playing with Meeka. They definitely keep each other company! Your dogs will also feel more comfortable in our house knowing that they are welcome and have familiar dog faces and smells here. I am also comfortable taking care of your dog(s) in your house to ensure your fur-children continue to stay in the comforts of their own homes. My husband and I look forward to meeting you and your dog(s) soon. My husband and I do this together. We both work full-time at the office but I work 2 days from home. During the in-office days, we will let the dogs out when we wake up and after one of us get back home. The other two days and on weekends, they get let out every 2-3 hours or as and when they need to go. My husband helps me when he’s home and we go for daily walks in the evenings and weekends. We love patting and playing with them as that’s our routine with our own dogs so rest assured, we’ll make sure your dog gets loved too. Meet and greets are always preferred because we want to make sure you’re comfortable with our family and vice versa. If your dog(s) will be in our home, my husband will be helping out. Therefore, we want to make sure our pups play well with each other too. If you need a house sitter while you’re gone because it’s easier and better for your pets to be in the comforts of their own home, it’ll either be my husband or I. In this case, we want to make sure you’re comfortable with both of us. Boarding/Daycare: We have a fenced backyard and require all boarders to be crate-trained and come with a crate, especially for feeding time and if things get wild. For older dogs like when we had Fiona, she struggled to go up and down the deck stairs so I let her out in the front yard which isn’t fenced. However, I went with her and she was great at not taking off with me and my husband. Meeka and Simba are always leashed when they get let out in the front. If you’re worried about your dog being in the front yard, we will always use a leash. Otherwise, the backyard is more than sufficient if they’re okay with stairs. Home Sitting: We will do our best to stick with your routine with your dog. I do work full-time, 2 days from home and my husband goes to the office all 5 days. If your dog loves walks/car rides, we'd be happy to have them meet ours and they can walk together. If there are other animals in your home that's need to be card for, please let us know. I am an animal lover and will learn quickly to care for animals I’ve not taken care of before.

Chelsie A.
“I always stress about my 75 and 100 pound "lap" labs when I got out of town, but Chelsie has been such an amazing host for them! I always choose a double kennel so they can cuddle and play together. The rates are very reasonable. I get pictures and updates as often as I need and I always enjoy getting to see the other dogs when I drop off my pups! I highly recommend Chelsie!”

Katelyn M.
“I can’t recommend Katie enough for anyone needing a reliable and loving dog sitter! She’s been absolutely amazing with my dog Ashe, who’s a Great Pyrenees mix. She’s not always the easiest to handle. Katie is incredibly patient, calm, and understanding, which makes a huge difference with a dog like Ashe who can be a little stubborn at times. Ashe warmed up to her so quickly, and I could tell she felt totally comfortable and safe in Katie’s care. Katie’s friendly, gentle demeanor just puts animals at ease, and she genuinely treats them like her own. It’s such a relief knowing Ashe is in great hands whenever she’s with her. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and totally in tune with your fur baby, Katie is it!”

Andrea A.
“Andrea treated my Lobo like he was one of her own, if not even better. She was SO gentle and kind with him, helping him get acclimated to the new space, and even teaching him how to go up and down the stairs! She was patient with him, and let’s be honest, Lobo is a puppy and a husky and that combination is rambunctious! I was so grateful to be receiving her daily updates - I received videos, pictures, and beautiful texts letting me know how well loved and cared for he was. I will definitely be having Andrea in my corner anytime I need to have Lobo taken care of. Seriously, she is really the kindest and most compassionate. You need someone like that for you most precious pets, and she is your person. Thank you Andrea.”
