Availability

I’m currently working part-time and taking classes remotely, so I’m almost always home. My work days are on the weekends, but on weekdays I am completely free! While I work weekends, I work close enough to home to be able to check-in during my breaks.

Information Katherine B. would like to know about your pet

I would likely be unable to accommodate a larger dog, roughly 70+ pounds, as I live in a smaller house. Additionally, let me know if your dog does not do well with strangers, pedestrians, or other dogs.

A typical day

I already go on a long walk (around 1 hour) once a day, and would love to bring your dog with me. I also own some pet toys, but would be happy to play with whatever their favorites are. Having two pit bulls among the crowd back home, I am well versed in losing tug-of-war but that won’t stop me from playing!

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Katie, and I’ve been taking care of dogs my whole life. My family has 6 dogs total, from a Chihuahua to Pit Bulls, so I’m quite familiar with taking care of different sizes, ages, and breeds. I also have experience taking care of senior dogs with special needs, as I used to own a blind and deaf dog. I’m happy to pet sit overnight or just take your dog on a walk! I’m definitely a homebody, so your pet can have my undivided attention. It would genuinely make me so happy to take care of your dog, please feel free to reach out!

Katie grew up with dogs and loves cats too, so being around and caring for pets has always been second nature to her. She understands how much animals mean to their families and wants owners to feel confident their pet is safe, cared for, and getting lots of love while they’re away.
