Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Katie! Professional dog lover first and everything else second. I have been working with dogs as long as I can remember. When I was young I used to walk my neighbourhood dogs for $1.00. Today I have a Veterinary Office Assistant certificate, Canine Principals certificates, a list of experiences in canine behaviour, and a growing relationship with all my clients. I have been so grateful to have gained the trust of many Winnipegers and their pets in the last 7 years. As someone who has their own dog I can understand the feelings that go into having someone new care for my pet. My goal is to make sure that your pets are being taken care of with their comfortability in mind, their routine stays close to normal, and their snack levels the same. No matter what they tell me. I will Kevin McCallister your home while you're away, make sure the lights are on, and the cardbored cut outs are moving at realistic pace. All jokes aside, I am more then happy to take care of any necessary chores around the home, if requested (Plants, mail, fish, etc. but sorry no tarantulas) Safety is at the top of the priority list, right before treats! I will ensure your home is always secure and if your pet is crated, they are crated properly and comfortably!

Katie has been such a blessing to our family when we went away on a family trip. She was so thorough throughout the process, getting to know our dog's routine, tactics, likes and dislikes and completely blended into the routine we have. With constant updates, we felt very at ease the entire time we were away. We also had a huge sense of relief knowing Katie's qualifications and experience, as this is of course a huge component. She is very trustworthy. We would have Katie care for our dog again anytime. :)

Katie is a wonderful dogsitter! She is very responsible and conscientious, and takes amazing care of our two dogs while we are away. She keeps us updated with messages and photos and follows all the instructions for our unique dogs. Katie takes the dogs for walks, plays endlessly with them, provides enrichment opportunities and lots of cuddles. She has also cared for our dog while recovering from surgery and was able to administer his medications and restrict his activity without issue. We trust Katie completely in our home, and have no worries or concerns about our dogs knowing they’re are in great hands and having a staycation of their own while we travel!

Katie is THE best dog sitter ever! My dogs are so excited when she comes to stay. She is reliable, great at communication, and very responsible. Our family uses her every year for our annual family vacation. I love having her stay at our home so the dogs can continue with their normal routines. I would recommend her to everyone!!!!

A typical day

I absolutely love the parks we have here in the Peg and would happily trail through them with your pup! Backyard fun is always a hit, fetch all day every day. If you have an old soul who would rather take a quiet calm walk, we can relax and watch the birds, and maybe get some belly scratches.
