Dog-loving teacher in RRISD!

Pet care experience

I am a neat, organized and reliable middle school teacher who needed something fun to do over summer break and then found out pet-sitting with Rover is kinda awesome! So, I'm going YEAR-ROUND! :D My border collie Luke and I love to learn and explore. He has graduated puppy school and intermediate behavior school, as well as having some agility training in the mix. I am recently married to Pat Allen and his furry friend Rowdy the boxer. Our family enjoys morning walks together and trips to the park or river.

Katie was great with both dogs. Arya can be a handful, but both of my pups seemed to have a wonderful time!

Katie is AHHHHmazing! We were able to book her pretty last minute when our regular sitter was unavailable, and she is completely adorable! Our two treasured furry babies, Dixie and Dylan, took to her immediately during our meet and greet (read: jumped all over her rather indecorously! Haha!), and we arrived home today to two happy and clearly-well-loved pups, after her stay! Thank you SO much, Katie! You are a keeper, indeed! <3

We had Katie watch our pup for 5 days while we were back home for our wedding and I couldn't have been happier with her! We received picture updates which I loved. Our dog has allergy issues and she was great to accommodate them (wiping his paws off every time he goes outside...yes it's a bit of a pain.) Thank you Katie for being awesome to our fur child :)

Katie is lifesaver! We were able to book her on short notice to drop-in on our two pups while we were out of town for the weekend. She is so kind and amazing with our pups! She sent us picture and text updates so we knew our pups were in good hands! We will definitely requesting her services in the future!

Information Katie A. would like to know about your pet

All the basics need to be covered before you're away: Feeding schedule, daily routine, medications (if any), exercise, toy/treat preferences, dislikes and/or "quirks", medical concerns/restrictions. Stays go great when we are properly acquainted that way! Also, let me know if there's anything else I can do for your home while you're out, like check the mail or water house plants! :)

A typical day

Expect to enjoy walks in your neighborhood or nearby park, and lots of hangout time where your pup is most comfortable. I've got a big 'ol basket of dog toys, and I'm willing to share! With owner permission, treats, toys and snuggles given lovingly!
