Safety, trust & environment
My dog gets a lot of love. I believe the best part of dogs is they are simple they just need attention and love. The last two dogs I had I gave lots of petting and hugs. Dogs also need stimulation whether it be playing fetch or using a Kong or some other activity an owner may have I like to incorporate that into my visit.
Information Katherine B. would like to know about your pet
I would need to know how your pet behaves around other dogs and children. Does your dog chase bikes, runners or moving vehicles. Also how does your dog react to treats should I leave the tread on the ground or is your dog ok to put the treat in your dogs mouth.
A typical day
I love to use a Kong to keep my dogs entertained. Treats at the end of visit is always a part of my routine. The treats are selected by the owner in case there is a special diet. I would also throw a to to play fetch if the dog is interested.

Pet care experience
I have owned two dogs as pets. One lived to be 17. My dogs I have owned were both spunkie and lots of fun! I also worked in Illinois for a local dog walking/sitter company. I would walk my dogs for 20 minutes. If the weather was bad I would walk the pet and play with them inside their home. I had 2-4 dogs a week. Frankie a big sniffer male dog and Ginger an older arthritic dog; they were my regulars. I would end every visit with petting and a treat. I really love my dogs. Every visits ends with a text to the owner including a cute photo and information on whether the dog peed and pooped.

Reviews
Lola immediately connected with Katie when they first met. We appreciate her dependability and communication.
Katie has been a friend of mine for over 20 years. In the time that I’ve known her, she has always had a pet. About a year ago, she started to walk dogs for a local dog walking company, and enjoyed that! She is dependable, smart, and an awesome dog walker.
We cannot recommend Katie enough! I have a family owned pet service in Naperville, Illinois . Katie started her relationship with our company as a client. We took care of her pup Indie for approximately 15 years , til Indie passed. We then took care of their new pup Izzy for some years. Katie was a caring and loving pet parent, and a wonderful client. When Katie’s busy life as a mother to 3 sons slowed down, she approached me about doing some dog walking for us! As a client, Katie expected the best care for her pets, so I knew she would follow by example in caring for my clients . Katie became a valuable member of my team.Super reliable, trustworthy and loving. We were very sad that she had to move! Anyone hiring Katie will have a gem.
