Flexible Reliable Animal Lover

Pet care experience

I currently have 2 dogs and have had dogs my whole life. Both of my dogs are very high energy so I am used to keeping them busy. My male dog is 3 years old and he requires a lot of love and attention. He is great with kids and other animals. My female dog is 6 years old and she's a very anxious girl. She prefers to be the only pet but is extremely affectionate with people. I have experience with small and large dogs from puppy to elderly. I am comfortable feeding, grooming, walking, and caring for your pets. My availability is flexible. I am willing to stay at the owners home so the dogs feel safe in a familiar area. I am available for daily walks or extended stays. I have experience with special feeding and medication routines for pets if needed. I also have experience caring for more than one pet in the same home that are on different schedules or need to be kept away from another pet in the home. I will treat you fur baby like my own and they will be well cared for! I'm currently in the process of going back to school so I am not working a scheduled job right now. My availability is flexible. I'm available for daily check ins and walks. I'm also available for extended or overnight care throughout the week and all weekend. I will do all of my care at the client's home per the client's instructions on their pets needs and will provide care in the way the client specifically wants their pet cared for.

Katie stayed in our home with our two dogs for a week while we were on vacation. She sent great pictures and updates of the dogs. This was our first time using Rover and we would definitely re-book and recommend Katie! She left our home in better shape than we did- even staging the toys in a super cute way in our kids’ playroom.

Katie did an awesome job with Reuben while we were away for 9 days! She was so great with communication and we could tell he was having so much fun going on walks and to the park with her. We will definitely use her again :)

Safety, trust & environment

I will give your pet lots of love and attention! I will make sure to follow any instructions or requests while I am caring for your pet(s). I like to send daily pictures and updates to give you piece of mind while you are away. I always keep notes with your normal routine with your pet as well as any other information I need to know while caring for them. Before caring for your pet(s) I like to spend some time with them during a meet and greet because it is extremely important to see how your dog or cat responds to me before I am hired to care for them. Being a dog mom myself I would want to see how my dog responds to someone before I made the decision to hire them. Your pet(s) safety, comfort and wellbeing are my top priority when caring for them!

Information Katie B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there is anything specific I can do to meet your pets needs. I'd like to know my client's expectations when caring for their pet. It is important to know the dogs temperament and daily routine so I can give the best care possible. Anything the client feels is important is definitely something I want them to let me know ahead of time.

A typical day

I always give any dog I take care of lots of love and attention. I enjoy taking the dog out for a walk and playing outside. I prefer to take walks in areas that have less traffic and are more open and quiet. I love to go on trails that have a lot of things that the dogs can explore.
