Safety, trust & environment

Me and my husband live in a house with a decent sized fenced in backyard that we love to hang outside with our doggos! I love to make sure I take my dogs and any of the dogs that I'm watching for at least one daily mile walk! Sometimes two or three one mile walks a day, depending on the dogs energy. If your dog sheds, I try to brush their hair daily and wash their paws.

Information Katie A. would like to know about your pet

If there is special medicine or a routine that your dog adheres to, I would love to know this in advance to ensure I provide your dog with the best quality care! Additionally, your dog must be friendly around other dogs as I do own my own dog.

A typical day

I love to play and take my dogs and others on walks around my neighborhood. If your dog is friendly and ok with it, I also enjoy taking them to the dog park. I give my dog (and others if they enjoy it!) a puzzle everyday to help stimulate her mind!

Pet care experience

Hey there! My name is Katie and I love dogs! Since I was 10 years old, I've helped my friends and family take care of their beloved pets! I've taken care of puppies, elderly dogs (14+), and even fish before! I've had a lot experience taking care of elderly dogs. Most recently, I boarded a 14 year old chihuahua. Prior to this, I watched a 15 year old miniature schnauzer. Recently, I've had experience training and taking care of puppies, including my own puppy who is now a year and a half!

Katie did an excellent job watching my dog. I got constant updates and she was very accommodating. Highly recommended!

Katie did such a great job with our Corgi, Ginger. Ginger played with Katie’s dog and was thoroughly tired out. She slept like a log. I would highly recommend Katie if she is in your area.

Katie did a great job with Pappy! She sent daily pictures and updates to let us know what he was up to all day. He also loved getting to play with her dog. Will definitely request her again!

Katie is truly an exceptional dog sitter who genuinely loves dogs of all sizes and treats them as if they were her own. With Katie, you can rest assured that your furry companion will receive the utmost care and affection. She goes above and beyond to ensure they are well-fed, exercised, and content throughout the day. Katie's communication is outstanding, as she provides regular updates and adorable pictures that will undoubtedly bring a smile to your face. She understands the anxiety of leaving your dog with a stranger and genuinely empathizes with your concerns about your fur baby receiving the love and attention they deserve. With Katie, you can trust that your fuzzy buddy will receive all the love and care they need and more. I wholeheartedly recommend Katie as a dog sitter for her unwavering dedication, deep compassion, and genuine adoration for animals. Five stars all the way!
