Pet care experience

Dog sitter for special pets!

After getting my delightfully weird dog, Murphy, I began boning up on all things positive reinforcement training. Through working with him, I’ve learned so much about training and management of special needs dogs. He has severe separation anxiety which has given me a unique experience; tough to find in other sitters. If your dog can’t be left alone for date nights or grocery runs or just a day out on your own, I’m your gal. Experience with nervous dogs and happy to work within your rules for your precious angel.

Safety, trust & environment

I’m totally devoted to upholding the care your pet is accustomed to. As the caretaker to a unique dog, I know how much routine supports an animal’s comfort. Give me that detailed list of care and I’ll follow it to the letter.

Katie's deep sensitivity and understanding of dog behavior, makes her both an incredible dog owner, as well as a trusted care provider. My dog Penny had special needs and I felt so at ease when she was with Katie.

Katie has been a wonderful sitter for our dog, Molly! She truly takes the time to understand Molly’s unique personality and adapts her approach to fit Molly’s needs. Whether Molly wants extra attention or prefers a little space, Katie always responds thoughtfully and respectfully. We appreciate how Katie personalizes each visit, making Molly feel comfortable no matter what. It’s clear that Katie is attentive, reliable, and genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We highly recommend Katie for anyone looking for a compassionate and skilled pet sitter!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Katie as my San Diego dog sitter! From the moment she met my dog, it was clear she’s a true “dog person” - confident, warm, and completely at ease among our furry four-legged friends. Katie’s ability to discern each dog’s temperament and adjust her care accordingly is outstanding (my dog is basically a spicy Sofia and Katie did great with this little Golden Girl). Plus, it seems like she always has treats ready and uses positive reinforcement to help dogs feel safe and happy. Katie is incredibly communicative and self-assured, keeping me updated and throughout each visit. Her thoughtful approach means my dog receives personalized attention, whether she needs extra walk time, play with her favorite toys, or just a cozy spot to relax. If you’re looking for someone who treats your dog like family and brings out the best in every pup, Katie is the sitter you want. I trust her completely and am grateful for the exceptional care she provides!

I sometimes think that Katie E. loves pets more than humans!! She is a responsible, loving individual whose eyes go to the pets around the neighborhood - first. Many of the humans know her by name. She knows the names of the dogs instead. Katie is really knowledgable about dog behavior and their little quirks. Katie is versatile and can roll with the punches. She and my Bernadoodle, Tedd love each other. Sometimes he chooses Katie over me!! I would not want anyone else to care for him. She is very trust worthy. I know you will want to ask her back time and again.

Katie sat with our nervous dog, Max, for a weekend that we were away and she was great. He's a friendly dog but takes a little time to warm up, and Katie did a fantastic job with him. She sent reports on what they were up to and how they did. Max is typically a nervous walker who won't go too far from home but he was willing to go on a longer walk with Katie. She told us that they had a nice long walk along the canyon and Max was as happy as a dog could be! We loved having Katie hang with Max and we'll definitely call her again.
