Trustworthy & loving dog walker!

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Katie. I’m 33 years old and have had dogs my entire life; I have been trusted to dog sit for friends, neighbors, and family since I was 15. I have experience with all kinds of dogs - reactive, friendly, old, young, high energy, low energy, health issues/special needs.. and love them all! I am an experienced sitter/walker who you can trust to take amazing care of your pup. I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle and go on fun adventures with dogs. Some people have told me I’m a dog whisperer.. I have yet to prove them wrong. :)

Katie is amazing!!! She has such a sweet personality and you can tell she loves fur babies! She was very professional and I felt so comfortable enjoying our vacation while she was staying with our furry family members. I will 100% use her again!

So happy we found Katie. She took great care of our dog, Winston and our home. We will absolutely be using her again.

We all absolutely loved Katie. She was kind, gentle, attentive to our pup and to our requests, she sent pics and was just a fabulous sitter. We will definitely be booking with Katie again!

Information Katie A. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there is any special information I should account for before our first visit. To list a few, it’s important for me to know if your pup requires any medications, is prone to running out the front door, if they are potty trained, how they behave around other dogs, if they chew items other than toys, and if you crate them or are okay with them being on furniture (My dog is allowed on the couch and bed but I want to be respectful of any behavioral training you’ve invested in!) If you have any questions about pricing, just ask! I know the “add on” fees/rates can be confusing for first time Rover users so I am happy to explain the details - don’t hesitate to reach out! :) Please note: I am (unfortunately) allergic to cats so I can’t offer house sitting for homes with cats. (Drop-ins and walks are okay, I just can’t spend prolonged periods of time indoors with cats.) Thanks for understanding!

A typical day

I will keep your dog physically and mentally stimulated while caring for whatever special needs they may require. I go on many walks throughout the day and will make sure they are given plenty of exercise!
