Pet care experience
Hey there! I am a freelance writer and editor who works from home. I provide care for your babies in the comfort of their homes, and I am often available for short-notice requests. I have gained professional experience walking and caring for a variety of breeds, and have received dozens of positive reviews from clients. Throughout my life, I have been fortunate enough to raise four cats and five dogs of various breeds. My roommate and I currently own a mini poodle named Herbie! I love animals of all sizes, but I am particularly skilled with handling large-breed dogs, as my dog growing up was a boxer-dane mix. I can also give baths and perform very basic grooming! I can't wait to meet your baby!
Reviews
Katie did an amazing job walking my dog. Would definitely recommend to anyone!
First of all Katie adores animals. She’s intelligent responsible and her love and joy in giving to animals would make her an amazing pet sitter. I watched her around my dog, and she is very gentle and respectful of animals. Definitely try out her services.
Katie is a very close friend of mine who I hold close to my heart. Not only does she lift spirits but she’s hilarious in doing so. She’s so patient and positive. I couldn’t ask for a better friend. Plus she’s a natural with pets!!
Katie is a true animal lover and she treats every pet as she would her own! My dog Cash loves her and I'd trust her with him completely (and I'm VERY picky about who I trust him with cause I'm a nervous mommy sometimes).

Information Katie C. would like to know about your pet
I may be little, but I can hold my own when it comes to large breeds! As a former owner of a boxer-dane mix, I am used to handling the weight of a big, hyper baby, and I'm not afraid to let them know who's boss. I have a particularly soft spot for pitties, as well. However, my experience is wide, and I have also worked with smaller breeds, and special needs rescue dogs. If your pet has any limitations, special requirements, feeding regimens, or medical needs, I want to know so that I can fully support both of you. I have experience administering medication, and I am willing to gain new experience if special skills are needed for the job.
A typical day
With fitness as a general life goal, I like to go for a short run in the morning, and would love to take your baby with! Often, if there is a park nearby, I will take the dog there, maybe let them off leash if it's safe to do so, and play with them. For more aggressive or reclusive dogs, I always find a safe way to play with them away from their triggers, and I work very hard to understand each dogs' needs, triggers, likes, and dislikes. Dogs are just like people. No two are alike, but all of them need and deserve to know love.
