Kind pet-lover happy to meet yours!
Pet care experience
Hello! I’ve been an animal lover all my life. I have three dogs and a cat. If I had my way, I’d have a large farm with all the pets! Since we live in the city, I hang out with others’ pets instead 🥰 As a Northwest native, I’m very familiar with the weather and challenges of getting dogs walked and cared for in the rain. I’ve raised many dogs from puppies up to senior dogs and I have experience with the different needs of each group. I have lots of experience with raising puppies and the challenges that come with creating a good ‘dog citizen’. Lots of patience and consistency are definitely crucial for puppies (as well as lots of exercise!). My oldest dog is blind and has some medical issues. She requires medication and eye drops, which I am now a pro at administering. She also has special needs for walking now (being blind) and I’m familiar with making blind doggies comfortable during walks. I also have experience with extra anxious dogs and am familiar with how to help a pup prone to scaring easily. I love dogs of all kinds and ages! I love positive reinforcement and I have a lot of patience.

Katie was so kind and comforting to our cat while we were away, providing daily check ins for us. We have had such wonderful communication and support from Katie and had complete trust. Thank you so much for being a great sitter!
Wonderful dog walker! Gave me updates and took fun pics. Very reliable!
Katie was awesome! The updates provided were both cute and informative.
