Pet care experience
I work from home so its all unconditional love and attention from me :) My husband and I have had animals in the house since we can remember. Growing up we both had large and small breed dogs. Every dog steals my heart. I know what it feels like to be away from your pup and the worry of them being in an unfamiliar place. It's my goal to make sure that not only do they get so much love, they will feel at home, but that you get updates and have a piece of mind while you are gone. Same applies if I come to you instead. I have plenty of experience administering medication (pills, ointments, ear washes, eye drops, and bandages) and though I don't have any vet training, our last mastiff needed extreme medical care during his late years. We got pretty good of taking care of his medical needs. Experience with puppy and senior dog care (and the in-between!) Happy to have your dog at our house or come to you however your dog will need to meet ours first and make sure it's a good match! I work from home and I love going on walks every morning and every lunch break. They will get plenty of attention day and night. My husband and I love being outdoors and hiking as well. With that said, there's nothing like snuggling up at home if your dog is a couch potato. We're into that too :) I wake up early by 6am so I always try to keep your pup at the same eating schedule they are used to. Anything I can do to lesson the disruption of their routine, the better, since they are in an unfamiliar place. No hazards in the house. We don't have a fenced in yard but the neighborhood is safe and great for any distance walk. Your dog will always be on a leash outside or when sitting on the porch with me.
Reviews
We loved having Katie stay with our fur babies. I am normally very anxious leaving them and am always asking sitters for updates or pics. I didn't have to do that at all!! She messaged me with pics morning and night. She was great!! We will definitely go to her first in the future.
Katie looked after my senior pup, Peaches, during a tornado! She kept Peaches safe, calm and warm even though she lost power. Peaches is a senior girl that needs medication 3 times a day so I was looking for someone who could give her the extra care and Katie went well beyond. Sent me pictures several times a day and was very sweet and nurturing to my girl. Highly recommended!
Katie was absolutely perfect!! She sent me at least two messages a day giving details on how much fun Blue was having, gave him plenty of lovins, and he was exhausted when we picked him up! Would 12/10 recommend Katie for any pet sitting services ❤️
Amazing! Katie and her husband took care of my pup like he was their own. Lots of updates, plenty of walks and all the cuddles. He was happy as can be when I got home. Will definitely be using Katie again!

Home
Information Katie C. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs and how its behavior is with other dogs. Our beloved dog, Mosley, who we lost in September was almost fully blind, needed a lot of medication, ointment cream, ect... and he was also dog reactive. I got very comfortable avoiding dogs on walks and administering medication of all forms (except for injections)
A typical day
I love to go on walks around the neighborhood- lot's of new smells and parks to walk around in. I avoid going to dog parks unless owner encourages it. We also love hiking on trails so if your dog is able to, we have a few light and moderate trails to hike. We have a very long rope leash so if your dog likes fetch, it will always be on a leash but there is a very large grassy area across the street from us. We can toss a ball and let it run :) It will never be off leash though since we do not have a fence.

I work from home so I can accommodate any dog feeding/potty schedule. I will have zoom meetings to work around but other than that I am home and flexible.
