Highlights
Pet care experience
I’ll love your pet as much as you!
Experience & Philosophy With over a decade of hands-on experience caring for a diverse array of animals—from dogs and cats to reptiles and small exotics—I bring a deep, foundational understanding of animal behavior and needs to every walk. This extensive background, enriched by my work with animal foster groups, has honed my ability to read subtle cues and adapt to each pet's unique personality and comfort level. I don't just see a walk as a routine task; I view it as a vital opportunity for enrichment, exercise, and building a positive connection. My Approach: Patience & Partnership My core focus is on fostering trust—both with your pet and with you. I believe patience is the cornerstone of a great relationship, so I take the time to let shy or anxious dogs warm up at their own pace, using calm, positive reinforcement. For you, the owner, this means consistent, clear communication and detailed updates, so you always feel confident and connected while you're apart. Your peace of mind and your pet's genuine comfort are my top priorities, ensuring every outing is safe, enjoyable, and tailored to your specific expectations.

Safety, trust & environment
My home is an active and engaging space, perfectly suited for dogs who thrive with plenty of stimulation and exercise. As the proud owner of a high-energy herding dog, I have firsthand experience in meeting the needs of active breeds. Our daily life is built around structured enrichment and ample physical activity, from puzzle games and training sessions to long, adventurous walks and play. Your dog won't just be staying with me—they’ll be joining a fun, dynamic routine that keeps their body and mind happily engaged. Your pet’s safety and comfort are paramount. I maintain a clean, secure, and pet-proofed home to ensure a stress-free environment. With a resident expert in canine energy, I am exceptionally attentive to reading play styles and ensuring all interactions are positive and supervised. If your dog loves to play and learn, they will fit right into our active and loving household.
Ratings and reviews
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!
Mys slept from the second i picked her up all night. She definitely wore her out and it was a great help to me! She was great with her my baby had so much fun with her and her pup! I never left my dog with anyone before but she kept in contact and reassured me she was ok the whole time!
Katie was so good with our puppy, Josie! I couldn't have asked for better care for her while we were gone for the day. Katie was so nice to log Josie's every move to give me piece of mind that she was being so well taken care of! She was so flexible with our schedule and kind enough to extend an extra hour. We thank you so much!!

Schedule
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.
