Pet care experience
Hello! I am Kati and I have been taking care of dogs my entire life! When I was four years old, we got our first puppy and I have been hooked ever since. I currently have my own dog, Bailey, who loves to play, snuggle, and practice agility! I spent three years dogsitting professionally before getting my own dog as an adult. I also spent six months volunteering with therapy dogs. I have worked with all kinds of pups, from Miniature Dachshunds to Great Danes. And I’ve never met a dog I didn’t like. I work two jobs, so I am able to come home mid-day and walk your pup. They will never be alone for more than 6 1/2 hours. (I walk my dog around 6 am, 2pm, and 7pm). My partner, Ellie, also helps with walks and snuggles! I can even provide basic grooming (such as brushing) and medical care. I cannot wait to meet you and your best friend!
Reviews
Kati is sweet and well loved by my dog Knox! Updates with pics daily- you can tell she is genuinely an animal person, truly cares. I appreciate knowing my Knox is in good hands when I’m away!
Kati is so great! I've never left my dog Miles with a sitter before because of his history of anxiety, so I was nervous about leaving him with a stranger. The first day he did not want to eat or go outside. With patience and persistence, Kati finally got him outside and made him feel more comfortable with her. It was such a relief for me to know that he was in such good hands. She also gave me several updates to know how things were going. I would highly recommend Kati to anyone looking for a very capable and caring person to sit or walk their dog!
Kati has been walking our rascly dog for five months, and in addition to providing reliable loving care, she has improved his leash manners. Kati is extremely reliable, appropriately communicative, and adores dogs. We are thrilled to have her helping us out!
Over Christmas, Kati watched Panda and Juno and couldn't have been better! Normally, when we return from a trip away, our girls are ravenous for attention. Not this time! We didn't feel snubbed, per se, but we could tell that they were definitely less frantic for us to pet and play with them than on other trips we've taken. A sign of a good pet sitter in our minds! Not only did Kati handle food, water, etc. but she also sent us photos of them each day with updates about how affectionate they were, how they were eating and drinking, etc. All in all, I'd highly recommend Kati to anyone looking for a sitter, and I'll definitely hire her again the next time we're out of town!

A typical day
I live in a nice, grassy neighborhood that I love to explore. I love taking Bailey to all the Little Free Libraries around my place. There are a few surrounding parks for nice long walks in warm weather. I love to play with my pup inside our large living room and toss balls into the hallway.
