Can I pet your dog?
Pet care experience
“Wag more. Bark less.” is my motto and animals are a quintessential part of my identity. I have always loved animals of all kinds and have spent many years caring for them in different capacities. I got my dog fix in high school by volunteering at my local shelter. During and after college I worked at a boarding facility for 5 years cleaning and providing playtime to canine and feline guests and was a doggie daycare counselor. Finally, I now work as a receptionist at a veterinary office. All of these jobs have given me experience with a wide variety of breeds and personalities - you name it, I’ve seen it. I have also been fostering dogs, puppies, cats and kittens in my home for two years (in addition to my own 2 dogs) so have constantly adapted my daily routine to fit my household - I have patience and experience with puppies especially.

Thank you!
Katie is great with Griffin. Much appreciated!
Katie was great with Jax.She updated us throughout the day and sent daily pictures of him. Jax was comfortable with her immediately. I knew she would be a good fit for him. I highly recommend Katie. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have a finished basement that provides peace and privacy for pet guests at my house. When visiting your home I will treat it as my own and leave it as I found it and abiding by any house rules.
Home
Information Katie B. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know their temperament, how they feel about other dogs and people, and any likes/dislikes or issues they have. I prefer dogs without aggression towards people or dogs but I have no breed restrictions.
A typical day
I love taking trips to the local park which also has a dog park if the dog enjoys that, there is also a river to swim in if they are a water-lover. I also enjoy playing in my fenced yard and taking walks around my neighborhood.

I work full time but live less than 10 minutes from my job so come home during lunchtime. I also have flexibility to bring animals to work with me if needed. I work long days so have a few days completely off during the week.
