Young Professional and Animal Lover

Pet care experience

I am an animal lover and have worked with dogs and cats both professionally and in my own home. I worked as a veterinary assistant for two years and am capable of giving medicine and caring for your pets. I am available mornings and evenings and most weekends. I love the outdoors and I enjoy taking my dog on hikes and getting out in nature. I also enjoy going to dog parks and letting my dog run around off leash and interact with other dogs. I have been dog sitting and taking care of my friends and families pets for years now and feel comfortable working with all different breeds. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and your furry friends!

Katie is so amazing, very down to earth and understanding of my dogs quirks and needs. Super excited to have found such a sweet person to help me with my dog Dakota. Will definitely be booking again.

Katie was awesome and very caring with Sheba. She communicated with me before, during and after her visits. Unfortunately, Sheba was a bit sick and had several accidents, but Katie took care of her and the messes also. I will definitely book with her again! Thanks Katie!

Katie was awesome!! She did drop-in visits for my 2 babies while I was out of town overnight. She made sure to play with them and to send me updates and pictures - she even brought my mail in. Would highly recommend!

Katie did a great job!! She was very personable and easy to work with. She checked in with pictures and texts throughout her stay. I have five dogs that have different energy levels and personalities and Katie mastered them all! I will definitely have her back and recommend her highly.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced in yard and a doggy door so your dog would have free rein of the backyard. I am also happy to walk your dog if you prefer. I love hiking and walking so we can go for longer walks depending on your dogs needs.

Information Katie B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any allergies, medical needs, or special conditions and I will be happy to accommodate. If they are a little shy that's totally fine, I'm happy to work with nervous dogs, just let me know what makes them feel comfortable.

A typical day

I enjoy walking on the numerous greenways and trails throughout Roanoke. I also enjoy going to Carvin's Cove and hiking the trails there. I also enjoy going to dog parks where the dog can run free and play fetch, if they're inclined.
