Reliable & Responsible Caregiver

Pet care experience

Booking Summer 2024! Hello! My name is Katie. I am a professional dog caregiver. I have had multiple dogs during my life including Toy Poodles and an American Eskimo. I have cared for breeds like German Shepard, Doberman, Boxers, Great Danes, and Pit Bulls. I work well with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I can take care of your dog in your home without you needing to take him or her to boarding. I require all owners to provide written instructions for food and schedules, house information (keys and/or garage codes), and any medical information. **Please note I do not book walks after 8PM for safety reasons** I enjoy working with dogs and I hope to work with yours!

We’ve used Katie several times now for drop in visits and housesitting. Our pups love her, and she frequently sends updates and pictures. Special shout out that she put together a doggy treat Christmas gift for our pups after a recent visit. She goes above and beyond. Thank you!!

Information Katherine S. would like to know about your pet

**Detailed instructions MUST be left for any kid of visit.** I need to know the routine, feeding schedule, commands, and any special needs of the dog. Please inform me of any medical needs the dog may have. This includes all emergency contact information including Vet phone number and address and any emergency contacts outside of the Vet. I take notes on my meet and greet but that is not considered instructions and information that is to be left by you.

A typical day

Walks through the neighborhood. I enjoy walking at dog friendly local parks including a car ride. I also love playing in the backyard with the dog if possible.

My schedule is flexible and I can typically accommodate most needs. I enjoy my time with animals and dogs and look forward to my time with your pet. ***I consider all overnight stays from the hours of 8PM-8AM. If you need me to stay all day and I cannot leave your house, please know this cannot be accommodated. I see other dogs throughout the day. I have visits that start as early as 7AM and many of my days do not end until the hours of 3-6PM***
