Pet care experience
Hello fellow dog lover! I am a lifelong dog owner and enthusiast. I currently have one dog, a Plott Hound mix named Basil but I have room in my heart and schedule for more puppy loving! My experience ranges from Yorkies to German Shepherds and most everything in between. I love spending time with dogs walking, running, playing, training, and more. I’ve house trained puppies and cared for seniors so I’m open to providing whatever care your dog needs. Being outside is one of my favorite activities so I’m thrilled to exercise and provide stimulation for your pups! I’m a high school teacher so my availability is centered around the school calendar. Dealing with teenagers all day has prepared me to handle almost any kind of challenge that your pet could present. I'd love to spend some time with your dogs this summer!
Reviews
My cats were almost instantly comfortable with Katie! She sent detailed updates at each visit, as well as pictures. Would highly recommend her!
We moved from the neighborhood and it’s a bummer Zara can’t see Katie regularly anymore :(. I highly recommend Katie for walks, drop-in visits, and any just overall great communication. She sends thorough and thoughtful rover cards and is such a responsible and responsive doggy caretaker. Gracias por todo!!!!!
We accidentally locked Katie out of our home (Woops!) and she was so patient with us. When she got in, Katie spent so much loving time with Zara (and walked her in the rain) and I’m afraid she may be Zara’s favorite human now 🥰
Update: Zara loves Katie more than she loves me.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am well versed in pet care from years of personal experience and providing care for my clients. I always strive to make sure your pet is comfortable and well cared for- whatever their needs may be!
Information Katie C. would like to know about your pet
I always like to know how your pet handles new situations. Do they like to meet and greet other dogs or people when walking or prefer to keep to themselves? Do they have any favorite spots to sniff or habits to be aware of?
A typical day
I enjoy walking dogs and letting them have time to explore their environment and get a break in their day. I take my own dog on multiple long walks a day both for the exercise, and also the mental recharge. I’ve seen the positive impact it provides for her and want to help provide that for other pet parents.
