Pet care experience

My pups are My People

I’ve had 2 pups for over a decade. Bonzo is my first born, a 12yr old Mini Aussie. He’s a trip and great with my kids. Recently lost my 15yr old Sheba Inu/German Shepherd mix. Akai was the love of my life. Not so great with the kids when they became mobile. We had a couple warning bites when the kids were toddlers. Everyone said to get rid of him, but I wouldn’t even consider it. Akai was telling the kids “he doesn’t like that” and the kids needed to learn to respect that. I understand and respect pups, sometimes better than people. I can try to teach the basics to a pup, but definitely not a dog trainer. I’ve considered getting another pup, but Akai was one of a kind. Instead I thought I could share my extra puppy love with other pups.

Safety, trust & environment

My pup is one of the kids. I give him just as much love and attention as my kids. We have a fenced in backyard and quiet street for walks, if I decide to offer daycare or boarding.

Katie LOVES dogs!! It’s obvious in how excited she is to get to know each dog as an individual. She will care for your pet(s) as lovingly as she cares for her own canine buddy!

I highly recommend Katie for all of your pet sitting and dog walking needs. Katie cared for my dogs for a week while we were on vacation. Katie is reliable, trustworthy, and kind. She followed all feeding and medication schedules exactly as requested. My dogs were happy, safe, and well-cared for when I returned home. Katie sent daily updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. She is always my first choice to care for my dogs when I'm away.

I have known Katie for several years. She cares for my chihuahua and my pet is shy but goes right up to her and lets Katie hold her. I trust Katie and out neighbors do too. She is kind and will help us all if we need. She is safety conscious and considerate. I would definitely recommend her for her care and love she would provide for your pets.
