Dog Mom and Trainer

My first dog was an 80 pound senior rescue who helped me find my passion for dog training. I babysat for a close family friend before I moved away and have often found my self training their little puppy in my free time. Now, I take in fosters and train them to help find their perfect homes. Since starting rover, I’ve welcomed many fur babies into my home. It a lot of work! However, my family and I enjoy having your pets around and my personal dog loves to play and meet new friends. I do a lot of research on animal behavior and training on my own. I can handle big and small fur babies. I am very good at reading body language and all dogs are separated while eating and when I’m not there. I have a Furbo doggy camera so I can send you clips of their day when they do something cute! If any issues come up I am fully prepared with baby gates and leashes, whatever your dog needs! When booking, please let me know what your dog does and doesn’t like or if they have any allergies! If you board with me your furry family member will get two walks daily, a nightly enrichment like a peanut butter or pumpkin lick mat or Kong, and ofcourse a detailed report with pictures on how their day went!

Katie was the absolute best doggy sitter and friend for our Golden Retriever “Molly” for the past month. The daily walks, the daily updates, the socialization with other pets, etc. we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Thank you, Katie and we hope you can take care of our girl again in the future ❤️

We had a wonderful experience with Katie! She gave our dog plenty of love, attention and even some training which is great for him! She sent daily updates and pictures and I felt like our dog was in the hands of a professional which is amazing. Definitely recommend her!

Katie was absolutely wonderful with my two dogs. She took her time to introduce them to the other dogs in the home and gave them attention throughout the whole day. They loved being there and I can tell can’t wait to go back.

Best dog sitter ever! Katie is so knowledgeable and confident with dogs. I can tell my dog felt so safe and so happy at her home, I was afraid he wouldn’t want to come back home with me! Highly recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in back yard with an accessible back yard for senior pups. Energetic pets are my favorite as they can match my enthusiasm. However, I love cuddle buddies just as much! No dog is too much too handle.

Pets

A typical day

I know that mental exercise is just as important as physical exercise so it is guaranteed that you dog won’t be bored in my care. I live near a park so your dog will get to enjoy long enriching walks. There are many spots within my own neighborhood that are optimal for sniffing and even safe socializing with some big noises all around. There’s even a quiet empty grassy plot that I personally use for training during walks.

Please let me know if your dog has any dietary restrictions, special needs, or behavior issues that may cause problems during your pups stay:) one thing that I like to know that may be different from other sitters, is their current training and their favorite treats or toys! If your dog is working on basic obedience or manners, I can implement the same rules here. If your dog is used to a relaxed home, I can provide that too!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
