Loving your dog like it's my own!

Pet care experience

Growing up, my family always had dogs, and I was very involved with training and taking care of them. About 4 years ago, I took care of a friend's dog while she and her family were on vacation, and I realized right then and there that it was the perfect side gig to fit into my working-from-home lifestyle! I am a professional photographer who works mostly from home, so your dog will have lots of company most days, and will never have to feel lonely! (Not to mention the photos I'll send you while your away are usually pretty good)! ;) RECENT NEWS! On 9/2/18, my boyfriend Arthur and I rescued a little yorkie puppy. So far, she's been great with other dogs, so if your dog would like a playmate, we can certainly make that happen! Don't worry if your dog needs some extra care though, and likes to be the only dog in the house. Eevee has her doggy daddy at home, so I don't necessarily need to bring her with me for every house sitting stay! One thing is for sure though-- whether Eevee is with us or not, I will spoil your dog as if it were my own! I have experience taking care of dogs of all sizes, personalities, and ages. I also have experience taking care of sick animals, so don't be afraid to ask if your pup (or cat) needs some special care! If you think your pup would do well with a friend, and you'd be interested in boarding your pup, let me know! We will only take in one client pup into our home at a time, to ensure a stress-free experience for them!

Katie just watched our dog for the first time and was absolutely wonderful. Our dog can be shy with new people, particularly going for walks with new people. Katie was so calm and patient with him the first night and he felt comfortable enough that he was trotting around the neighborhood the next morning. She kept us updated throughout the week with pictures and notes and treated our dog like he was our own! Super responsive and nice, so glad we found her!

Katherine is incredibly conscientious and thoughtful. She did a fantastic job staying with my 10 year old golden retriever. I appreciated her regular updates and photos and she left our home spotless. I will not hesitate to book Katherine again next n the future!

I can’t say enough positive things about Katherine’s care of my Springer Ellie last week! I received daily updates and photos. She was supposed to take care of two of my dogs, but the other had post-op complications and crossed the rainbiw bridge 2 days after i left. Knowing that Ellie was in such great, loving hands meant even more
