Pet care experience
I have been taking care of dogs since I was a kid and have been walking, boarding, sitting and fostering dogs for many years now! I am comfortable with all sizes, breeds and ages of dogs and have some experience in training! I am currently working full time flexible hours as a nanny/personal assistant and have some free time in the middle of the day M-F, some evenings, and most weekends. I am looking to mostly board dogs at my home but will occasionally take on drop-ins or walks! I have a nice yard (unfenced) so always keep dogs on a leash with me! If a dog is in my home they are family and will receive plenty of cuddles, walks and loving. I prefer to have a crate for when I do have to leave pups unattended but am able to check-in often throughout the day.
Reviews
Katie is the best! She has been consistently providing drop-in services for my dog for the last 1.5 months. She is extremely responsive and caring. She takes great care of him and always reaches out with updates, questions, or concerns.
Our dog was happy healthy and in great shape after his stay with Katie. They were friendly and helpful, and sent pix often to keep us updated. Will happily use again!
Katie was the perfect sitter for my dog Riley. Riley can be nervous around new people and a handful on walks. But she warmed up immediately to Katie. I actually got a little jealous when getting all the photo updates seeing Riley having such a good time away from me lol
Katie did a fantastic job taking care of Genny. We received regular updates and pictures and it was obvious Genny was very happy and comfortable with her stay.

Information Katie A. would like to know about your pet
Its always helpful to know if they have any specific triggers or dislikes of other animals/people. I also like to know their routines and owner preferences for walks vs playing in their own yard !
A typical day
