Dogs thrive with daily routine. I try to keep things as routine as possible for you and your pet. I always carry pet bags and water bowl with us for our walk.

Information Katie A. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know your pets routine, if they enjoy other dogs/ kids. If they have a favorite place to walk // use the restroom is also helpful!

A typical day

I love to snuggle and play with your pets! Tug of war, fetch, long walks, you name it! I’d love to hear your pets favorite activity.

Pet care experience

I have cared deeply for all animals my entire life. I love walking and loving on your dogs and cats and sometimes even the occasional turtle! I know how important your pets are and I will care for your animal as if it was my own. Peace of mind while you are away is so important and I’m happy to provide your pets with lots of love.

Katie is phenomenal! She eased all my worries about leaving my dog for a few days. She came multiple times throughout the days and was always there on time at the times we agreed upon. She kept me updated with photos and my dog was given love and attention. All the instructions were met to a tee and I couldn’t have asked for anything to be done differently. She’s the best and will take great care of your pets :) thanks Katie!!

Katie is my go-to pet sitter for my senior cat! My cat loves her and snuggles up to her when she comes. Katie is great about sending pictures and videos and is the most responsible pet sitter I’ve ever had!
