Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced dog walker
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 I do walks in all kinds of weather. I had 2-4 dogs a week. Frankie a 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 and took very good care of them. Every visit ends with a text to the owner including a cute photo and information on whether the dog peed and pooped. I also volunteer at the Huron Velley Humane Society. My son has had all kinds of animals so if you have a bearded dragon or hamster I am familiar with many different pets.

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.
Ratings and 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.

Schedule
I love the flexibility. I enjoy getting outdoors and I love animals. This is a great combo for me. I’m recently stopped working this will a great way to fill my days.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbsKatherine can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- 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.
