A True Animal Lover!

Pet care experience

If you're looking for an animal lover, look no further. My mom and I are pet lovers and rescuers. I have had animals my entire life and I grew up with 3 dogs, multiple stray cats, and various other animals. I have taken care of pets of my friends and family since I was 12. My boyfriend and I have a wonderful boxer mix and precious fluffy white cat, and we are absolutely adore them! I left my corporate finance career to become a Marriage and Family Therapist, and I am currently attending Regis University for my MA in MFT. Since moving to Denver I have loved how pet friendly it is here, and I'd love to make your life easier while you're away from your furry friend. Whether you're on vacation, your work doesn't allow pets, or you want a quiet night to yourself, I'm here to put your mind at ease and make your pet(s) experience an enjoyable one. I'm trustworthy and provide very responsible pet care. I'm currently available for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I can customize my walks for your dog as they might need it. The young need exercise, the old need patience, and ailments should be considered. I'm comfortable with the largest dog breeds (I grew up with a Newfoundland) to the smallest (also had a powder puff Chinese Crested). I have personal experience with all kinds of dogs - aggressive, leash pulling, reactive, timid, etc. Looking forward to meeting you and your best friend!

Reliable, responsive and professional. We’ve used Katie for several walks with our two Goldens and will continue to rely on her when needed. And she takes some great pics! Recommended.

Our mixed-breed dog Javi had a wonderful "staycation" with Katie in our home during our four-night absence. Javi doesn't always handle strangers and newcomers well, but Katie made him feel comfortable immediately and throughout her stay. From the reports, photos and videos she sent while we were away, it was obvious that Javi continued and enjoyed his daily routine, even with a stranger in the house. This was a far better experience than we have had boarding him. Our house was in fine shape when we got back. Katie is definitely our first choice for future housesitting needs.

This was a limited visit to acquaint Katie with Javi in advance of housesitting she will do for us next month. The walk was short and worked well.

I always follow pet parent instructions for how to care for their pet(s). This includes things like giving medicine, feeding, cleaning up after, playing with, etc. I can also crate your dog. I really like to know your pets detailed routine and match that to the best of my ability. What are your command words? What are the specific times for feeding, walks, potty breaks or meds? Is you pet crated when no one is home?

Information Katie F. would like to know about your pet

How does your dog get along with other dogs, children, and other animals? How do they react when meeting new people? Any past traumatic experiences? Anything to avoid - loud noises, being touched a certain way, certain foods or treats, etc? Are they on any medications?

A typical day

Walks, playtime, dog parks. All of these will vary depending on your locations and what we decide what best matches your pet's routine. I do enjoy mental stimulation, like hide and seek or puzzle balls that make your work to get a treat. Please let me know if you have any toys like this for your pets and I will happily include them in my visits! I love playing with cats as well. Mine is super playful, and her favorite toy is a fishing pole.
