If you live close by and would prefer a lunchtime walk/check-in I can work with you to arrange as I do work from home a few days a week.

Safety, trust & environment

My dogs are my family and have open reign to the house. However, I understand some limitations exist given every families’ individual needs and the needs of their fur babies. I’m comfortable crating dogs if that is the preference of the family before I depart. My dogs are given the occasional treat including some homemade snacks like doggie ice cream. I am happy to share if the family is looking to treat their pup, given the dog’s diet allows.

Information Katherine S. would like to know about your pet

Please inform me of feeding regimens, potty breaks, bedtime routines/locations, and favorite playtime activity. Let me know if you dog has special needs or behaviors I should account for. I am open to any preferred instructions left by the family as long as they are ethical.

A typical day

I love to play with my pups and will give your furry friend the same attention. Tug-o-war is a favorite along with ample walks weather permitting.

Pet care experience

I’ve been a dog owner myself my entire life including a variety of breeds from small (chihuahuas and morkies) to large (Irish wolfhounds). Currently my husband and I have 5 rescued babies that are mixes of pit bulls and a hound. I have often assisted friends and neighbors with their fur family members including walks, overnight stays and popping in to play/feed/let out.

Katie is so awesome with our dogs! She treats them as if they were her own. Makes traveling so much more stress free.

Once again Katie was awesome with our 2 fur babies. Her focus is completely on them and it shows when we get back and they are still so happy. All the pictures she shares they always have doggie smiles on there faces. And her reports on how they are behaving are always positive. Hopefully will see Katie during our next travel.

This is the second time Katie has watched our dog for long weekend and also our puppy. She is so loving towards the dogs, it's very calming to know they are in such good hands when we travel.
