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.

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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.
