Dog-loving young professional
Pet care experience
Ever since growing up with a dog (a Bichon frise), I have always been a huge animal lover. I love snuggling, playing, and just hanging out with the furry ones! I also have experience in dogsitting for family and friends, even multiple dogs and puppies. I think something that may set me apart from some of the other dog walkers out there is that I am somewhat of a night owl, so those who have jobs with not-so-normal hours (like doctors or nurses) would have no problem in booking me for a walk at 8, 9, or even 10 at night! I also have no problem trying to make a last-minute request work if I can fit it in my schedule. I also know that my preferences state that dogs are not allowed on the bed, however this may be flexible depending on a dog's age or behavior patterns. I hope to hear from you! Please note I do work during the week, so a dog that needs someone home all day might do better at another house.
Reviews
Katie is the best! She treats Lobo like her own!
I immediately felt comfortable leaving my fur baby with Katie! It was very obvious that she is a doggy lover and wanted my lil Lobo to feel right at home. Katie kept great communication and sent fun pics to make me feel at ease. I would highly recommend using Katie as a dog sitter and I look forward to having Lobo he watched by her again. Thank you Katie!

Information Katie C. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know about their personality. Are they a cuddler, do they love to play with toys, are there certain things like being picked up or touched in a certain way that bother them? I do prefer breeds that don't shed a lot or even at all (I grew up with a non shedding bichon) that are on the smaller side so luckily the little ones aren't usually too bad. Though I am comfortable around larger dogs, I simply prefer the smaller sized pups!
A typical day
Any dog that stays will have access to a fully fenced in yard with sod, so plenty of room to run around and take potty breaks. I also have a doorwall on the back of the house and a storm door on the front, and most dogs spend half their time at either one of those spots! I live in a nice neighborhood with sidewalks, so there's plenty of room for walks.
