I’ll love your pups like my own!
Pet care experience
My family and I have owned dogs my entire life. I currently have two small dogs. I have experience in training puppies and older dogs. I also have experience with mellow dogs and hyper dogs because my family has owned a variety of different breeds that have been adopted from both shelters and breeders over the years including a border collie, husky, terrier mix, and black lab. I am also experienced in running and hiking with dogs of a variety of sizes, so if your dog needs some higher intensity cardio, I can do that! I look forward to working with you!
Reviews
Got pics everyday and prompt check ins, no issues and dog was well taken care of
Katie is the best! She is very good with my dog, and very kind and communicative. Thanks so much, Katie! We will definitely always use her anytime and recommend her to anyone.
Great customer service, thank you so much for walking my pups!
Lovely customer service and very accommodating, thank you
About Katie B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am comfortable crating dogs who need to be crated, and if you leave something for their walks or crating, I will be sure to use it. I am familiar with a variety of anti-pull leads, harnesses, and collars, but I am not familiar or trained with prong collars. If there is a question about the gear you use for your pup, please ask! I will not put your dog at risk by using gear they are not used to or I am not used to.
Information Katie B. would like to know about your pet
Let me know ahead of time if your dog needs to be walked in places with fewer encounters with other dogs due to behavioral issues so I can account for that.
A typical day
I enjoy running and hiking, so if your pup is up for that, we can do that! I will research good options nearby for your dog’s abilities if this is something you’re interested in.

Availability
My availability varies based on my day job. I work for a hockey team and travel with them. If your pup’s schedule allows for any flexibility, I am more than happy to care for them before/after my day job whenever that may be and I will be very communicative about what realistic hours will be for my ability to care for your pup so you can decide if it is the best fit.
