I’ll love your pet as much as you!

Pet care experience

First, thank you for considering me to care for your animal! I know it can be a very scary process to trust someone with watching your fur baby, so I do my best to keep you as informed and engaged with your pet while you are away. What you should know about me: I will be extremely patient and calm with your pet. I take time to love and gain the trust of each animal I care for at the beginning of each stay/drop in/walk so that both myself and your pet is comfortable. I assume every animal just wants love and will do my best to keep them happy and calm while you are away on vacation or at work. I am flexible regarding your fur babies so if you need to schedule a drop in last minute or extend your vacation, I will do my best to accommodate you! I grew up in a home filled with animals. My mother operated an animal foster group, so I've been around all kinds of animals as well have trained puppies and worked with senior dogs. I have worked with small Terrier breeds and Chihuahuas as well as Boxers and Great Danes. So no matter what kind of animal you may have, I am happy to care for them! I am the proud pet mom of a pup named Ruby who is a 5 year old Pittweiler and a 9 year old Siamese cat named Keir. I prioritize a healthy and active lifestyle for both of my pets. I promise I'll take care of your animals like they are my own in keeping them healthy and happy! I hope to meet your pet soon! If you have any questions please ask, and I'll respond promptly.

She was great with my dog! She was always on time and took pictures of my baby so I could see her when I was away. I would highly recommend her to anyone! By the pictures I could tell Jessie love her too! Jessie has to take medicine every day and she made sure Jessie took her medicine.

Katie has continued to be our go to for dog sitting! She just eases any fear we have with leaving our dogs under the watch of someone for a few days!

Katie was absolutely amazing with our dogs! We were gone for 7 days and she sent daily pictures and updates that helped ease my anxiety with being away! We will be using her again, and recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!

Katie is awesome. Very punctual and sent lots of pics and updates on my baby. Looking forward to using her again in the future. My pup was happy as a clam when I returned!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a small fenced in yard which allows some much needed, relaxing out time. In addition I live very close to Schiller Park as well as two other parks depending on a dogs walking and socializing ability. I know where to take them if they love to meet and engage with other dogs, and I know where to go if they prefer to be alone.

Information Katie B. would like to know about your pet

Generally, I would like to know any information you tell people when they first meet your dog. Such as, do they bark a lot when they see new people? Do they jump? Do they pull on the leash? Do they need a harness? Do they pee when they are excited (if they do, where are the cleaning supplies)? Just general information that you think is important! Also, what kind of play do you and your pup engage in (tug of war, fetch, etc.)? SUPER IMPORTANT: What key words - if any - do you use to get your pup to use the restroom (ex: "go potty," "go poo-poo" etc.)? IF YOU LIVE IN AN APARTMENT: I must know where your complex allows the dogs to be walked (ex: the grass behind/in front of the apartment or a specified area in the complex). Also, is there is specific parking (since I will be driving to your apartment/home) spaces for guests that I must use?

A typical day

I love to take pups on long walks, play time in the yard/house (if allowed), tug of war/fetch, training if needed, and lots of love! You can expect to receive at least two/three pictures every time I visit your pup, so you know they are having a good time!

I am self-employed and work from home. Because of this I maintain my own schedule, which means your pets can be my priority when I am with them.
