Hi, I’m Katie. I’m a college student and I don’t have many years of experience, but I’m looking to gain some. I’m probably the biggest pet person you’ll ever meet and I hope I can help you and your dog or cat.

House Sitting • Juni 22, 2026

Katie was very kind and interacted naturally with my two larger dogs. She followed instructions well and my house was tidy when we got home. I would have appreciated daily updates or pictures of her time with the pups, but overall they appeared to be well taken care of!

Kathleen was amazing to my fur baby. She treated him just like her own and made him feel so special. She texted me with updates while we were away which gave me so much peace of mind and she always spoke so kindly about him. With my permission, she even took him to get a pup cup how sweet is that?! 🥹🐾 She truly went above and beyond to make sure he felt loved, comfortable, and cared for while we were gone. It was clear how much she genuinely cared about him, and I could tell he was so happy with her. I would absolutely recommend Kathleen to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and loving to watch their pets. We are so grateful for the wonderful care she gave our fur baby! 💕

I am pleased to recommend Katie as a dog walker. Katie has always demonstrated a genuine love for animals and has gained valuable hands-on experience through her volunteer work at a local animal shelter, where she helped care for and interact with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Katie recently completed her first year at Thomas More University, where she is also a member of the university's soccer team. Balancing the demands of college academics and collegiate athletics has helped her develop strong time-management skills, responsibility, reliability, and a strong work ethic. Katie has also been very close to our family dog, Baxter, who is now nine years old. Katie has always helped care for Baxter by feeding him, walking him, playing with him, and making sure he received plenty of attention and affection. Their bond reflects her genuine love for dogs and her understanding of the patience, consistency, and responsibility required to properly care for a pet. Katie is energetic, dependable, compassionate, and comfortable working with animals. I am confident that pet owners can trust her to provide attentive care and ensure their dogs receive the exercise, attention, and affection they need.

Katie is my daughter and she is so good with animals. She is almost like a pet whisperer. It’s kind of freaky. She’s such a loving girl with a big personality that would do anything for anyone.

Schedule

I currently am a college student and I don’t have a summer job or anything so I’m just looking for something to do on the side and keep me busy and something that will fit my schedule while also enjoying time with animals

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard with a boxer half lab who is very friendly with medium to small size dogs and does well with cats. I’m looking to make sure the owner is happy but even more to make sure their pet is happy.

A typical day

No dog owner can go wrong with tug-of-war. Basic walks or walks in new places are always good. I’m willing to do anything as long as the dog is happy and comfortable.
