I currently work full-time from 8-5, but my schedule is usually pretty flexible, making it possible for me to handle drop-in visits/walks, and keeping dogs in my home.

Safety, trust & environment
I really enjoy letting an owner know how their pet is doing. I send lots of pictures and updates. My aim is to make the pet feel as comfortable as possible while their human is away!
Home
Information Katie B. would like to know about your pet
We like all breeds, all sizes. One big thing to note is that I do not have a fenced-in yard, but I do have a fabulous neighborhood for dog-walking - so your dog would need to be comfortable on a leash if they stay with me. I do prefer that dogs that stay in my home are housetrained, and friendly toward little humans (half the week and some weekends, I have my little ones with me).
A typical day
If a dog stays with me, they will have a comfy couch with lots of cuddles, and some great opportunities for walks in a dog-friendly neighborhood. If I'm visiting a pet, I make sure to give them lots of attention and play time while I'm there.

Crazy about pets, big or small!
Pet care experience
There's not many people out there who love animals as much as me. I have experience with dogs, cats, fish, rabbits, guinea pigs, reptiles of all kinds, and other exotics such as sugar gliders. As a part of one of the biggest pet rescues of the Southeast, I have fostered and cared for dogs of all sizes, with all kinds of needs from medications to heartworm treatment. I've also apprenticed with an experienced and well-known dog trainer. I can read dog behavior well, and am patient and understanding with anxious, frightened, and grouchy pups. I want to make sure my client's pets have someone trustworthy looking after them; my pets have always been my family, and I know many others feel that way too. I strive to be of the utmost reliability, the one who will not let you down. I also strive to work with a client's budget as much as possible, because I know I'd want the same done for me.
Reviews
Katie is a wonderful sitter and took excellent care of my pup while I was out of town. I SO appreciated all of her updates and photos during the stay. Highly recommend!!
Wonderful communication and very kind!! Our pup had a wonderful time!!! Highly recommend!
Katie is the most amazing person that could watch your animals. She cared for my geriatric dogs and cat several times. They absolutely loved her and she spoiled them rotten. Due to her experience in veterinary medicine, I felt at ease asking her to give all the medications my pets needed, as well as trusting her to know what to do in an emergency situation. I have always had reservations about people watching my animals but I've never once felt nervous about leaving my pets in her care. She treats all of them as her own!! What more could you want?
Katie has been watching my pets for just over 2 years. She is always very flexible when I need to make adjustments to our regularly scheduled visits. On top of that, Katie is so accommodating with all the new foster cats/dogs that come through my home. Katie never knows exactly how many "kids" she will have or what special requirements they will need but she takes equally amazing care of all of them. Katie is so caring and kind and I can't recommend her enough!!
