**I'm Happy When Your Fur Baby Is**
Pet care experience
Hello I’m Katie! I am 27 years old and work for the City of Charlotte. I grew up always having pets and being around animals of all sorts. I live in the Plaza Midwood/Elizabeth area and I love the company of animals. I've been pet sitting on a small scale since I was 13, and it has always been something I love to do. Additionally, I have always had pets in my home, so I learned responsibility very early on, and still maintain that quality. I am willing to make any accommodations necessary to keep your fur babies happy while they are in my care. I have had my profile inactive for a couple years and have only taken personal repeat clients, but I am ready to grow and meet more people and pups! I am working towards my training certification, so I would like to continue gaining experience with various animals and their behaviors.
Reviews
Katie was great! She watched our 4 year old Great Pyrenees Orwell for a week and provided pictures and daily updates. This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous to leave my pup with someone since I had never done it before. Katie was great about setting up a meet and greet to interact with our dog so that we could rest easy he would be happy. I will definitely be using Katie as a sitter again!
Easy process!
Fantastic! My dog was well taken care of!!
Katie was great with Milo! This was the first time using a sitter and she made the experience easy and comfortable. Milo has separation anxiety and she was able to easily and quickly calm him down and distract him. She was easy to contact and quick to respond. We will definitely be using her again!

Safety, trust & environment
I don’t have a yard and live in an apartment, but the walkability in my area is great and I have a dog park across the street. I have an extra crate and several gates to put in doorways/rooms to separate animals as needed.
Home
Information Katie C. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know a dog's overall temperament, their likes and dislikes, and any medical concerns they may have. I also like to know the commands the dogs are familiar with so I can be consistent when they are in my care. If they are not allowed in certain rooms or on certain furniture in your home, I will respect that in mine. I do prefer boarding crate-trained dogs for when I run errands, etc. but I am willing to take dogs who are not as long as there's no history of chewing on furniture, etc. I understand that dogs have occasional accidents and behavioral changes in a new place, so that is not a problem for me! I do have a cat, but he stays in a bedroom most of the time, and I usually shut the door when a dog is here to avoid any possible confrontations.
A typical day
I have many bones and toys to keep your pup interactive when unattended or when I’m just hanging out at home. We can go for walks or on play dates with one of my neighbors or friends that have dogs.

I work from home half the week and in the office half the week. I work 5 minutes from home so I am able to come home to let the pups out on my lunch break if needed!
