Safety, trust & environment

I will treat your home as if it were my home. When you come back it will be as if I was never there. I make sure to clean everything before heading out, respecting your space while ensuring a safe and happy place for your pet while you are away.

Information Kathleen M. would like to know about your pet

I love every dog exactly as they are. I studied animal behavior in a lab, so I have a highly attuned sense for when an animal is feeling anything less than great. When your pet is with me, they will have all of their needs met, and you can be at ease while you are away.

A typical day

Dog photoshoots are my specialty! I like walking in nature, but anywhere that your dog prefers is fine with me. We can play with toys or even just lay in the grass and watch the birds fly by. I love giving doggy scratches and lots of love.

Responsible, caring animal-lover

Pet care experience

I am able to form a special bond with every pet that I meet. This bond allows them to trust me, helping them to feel safe while you’re away. I have had pets my entire life growing up, and I know that each pet is different. I have studied animal behavior, starting at home with my father’s dog. His dog was a senior and a slightly aggressive Shiba Inu. I do not get offended if a dog tries to bite me, and I know how to handle the situation so that it does not become dangerous. I specialize in taking care of senior dogs, and dogs with special needs. I will take the best care of your pup so you will not have to worry while you are away! Dogs make me happy, and my goal is to make every dog happy! I make sure to send photo updates as regularly as possible, while ensuring that your pet is loved and cared for in every manner possible.

Katie is fantastic - we have never had better help or an experience with someone looking after our pup.

Katie is super sweet, calming, and attentive! I never thought I’d be able to feel so comfortable leaving my boy in someone else’s care. He glued to her immediately, which is so unlike him!!!
