Been an animal lover since 1999!

Pet care experience

I am offering house sitting, pet sitting, and dog walking services. I have taken care of dogs and other animals for a large part of my life, including caring for senior dogs and training puppies. I currently have one pup living with me. He is a large breed dog that I have raised since he was 8 weeks old and gone through successful training with. Though I do have a job, I am available for walking services in the evenings and am able to do drop in visits in the early morning, mid-day, and evenings. I have a much more open schedule during the weekends, so I am available for boarding, multiple drop- in visits per day, and multiple walks per day. I am available for long term boarding for vacations or time you think you may be out of town, as long as you are comfortable. Just reach out for any questions or concerns! I have a very playful pup at home to keep your fur baby company and entertained through the day. I am able to easily crate animals. In your own home I will ensure to follow all instructions to a T and accommodate for any additional needs your babies may have.

Katie took care of our puppies over the weekend while we were out of town and did an amazing job! She came over for an initial meeting to learn our routine and asked great questions, including some things i had forgotten to mention. Then, while we were gone she sent messages letting us know how it was going as well as pictures of our puppies. Everything was great when we came home and our puppies were very happy! We would absolutely have Katie pet sit again!!!

Katie is a great pet sitter. She is loving and caring and she ensures that she knows all about my dogs before I leave. l use her every time I travel if she is available. I have been using KatieB since 2017. She loves all animals and will take care of your fur babies. She will take pictures and send them if you want them. I know I can count on Katie to take great care of my dogs. You will not be concerned about your pets' care with KatieB. JayneAnne

I have a german Shepherd/huskey that is 2 years old. She can be a lot to handle and has awful anxiety, so I was worried about hiring someone to watch her when I went to Europe. Katie did an amazing job with her. She had no problems with my dog and Luna seemed to love her. I highly recommend hiring her if you need a pet sitter, or just someone to walk your dog.

Katie is very responsible and honest. She loves all animals and has taken care of and trained her own pets for many years. She appreciates that all pets are special to their owners and she will take great care of your pets.

Information Katie B. would like to know about your pet

It will be important for me to know how your dog is with other animals and how they may react while on a walk if we come across any animals or people! I would also like to know of any special instructions, if they are potty trained, and if they are on flea and tick/ heartworm medication.

A typical day

I will play and walk with your pups until their heart is content and they are ready for a nap! I love to go on hikes on the nearby trails and daily walks around the neighborhood for new smells and discovery!
