Highlights
Pet care experience
No hassle, no stress pet care!
Hi! I’m Katie :) I’m a freelance environmental communications consultant with time on her hands and a love of all animals. Previously, I worked on farms caring for chickens and goats as well as two dogs. I love the outdoors and will happily take your dog on walks! I grew up with a Beagle and a Beagle-bloodhound mix and would pet-sit the next-door neighbor's Beagle as well as another neighborhood golden retriever. When walking or petsitting your dog, I'll make sure to give them lots of attention, active play, and follow your dirctions to the T! I'm more than happy to take photos or videos of your dog for you and will provide updates on how they're doing. Due to my love of animals and nature, 10% of profit from each booking is donated to Painted Dogs Conservation, a nonprofit protecting the endangered African Painted Dogs in Zimbabwe.

Safety, trust & environment
While taking care of your pet, safety is the Number 1 concern. There will be double checks of leashes, no doors opened unless the dog is secure or faraway from it, and regular communication to you to confirm what is going on with your animal.
Ratings and reviews
Katie was excellent. She is a great communicator and a perfect fit for our dog. Very reliable and sweet.
Katie has been a godsend. She is easy to communicate with, reliable and dependable! Our puppy gets a nice break from the crate while we are at work thanks to Katie! It is such a relief that our GSD Willow is in such good hands!
We always come home to a happy dog. Katie is fully competent and cares for our home and Abby. I would highly recommend her.
I left my dog with Katie for the weekend and couldn’t be happier with the way she took care of him
We returned to a clean house and a happy doggie! Katie sent pics all week and updated us on Abby! I felt so comfortable knowing our Abby was in such capable hands with Katie!
Took great care of the dog. Very communicative after every visit !

Schedule
Given my current freelance work, I’m able to spend extended periods of time with your pets. You tell me how often you need your dog walked or checked-in on and I’ll adjust my schedule to accommodate it :)
