Pets are family 💜

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of all breeds of dogs from family pets to beloved neighbor fur friends since a young age. I have had 5 different breeds personally and have been trained by two family friends that are professional trainers with a very knowledgeable background in multiple areas of dog behavior and care. Family, friends, neighbors, and personal clients have relied on me for playtime/stimulation, walks, feeding, medicine application (topical) and in pill form when needed, as well as overnights and/or early morning care.

Katie was great with my pup and would definitely recommend her to others. My pup can be skittish at times and Katie took the time to make her comfortable.

Katie is exceptionally responsible, kind, and as a dog owner herself, very well suited to take wonderful care of your pet! I have had the opportunity to observe her with several dogs and I have complete confidence in her when I leave my golden retriever in her care!

Katie is very reliable and trustworthy. Her love and knowledge of dogs is apparent. I would trust her in my home and would not hesitate to recommend her as a sitter.

Safety, trust & environment

I am comfortable doing whatever the client thinks is best for their pet. If playing fetch and tug of war in the yard is more up your pets ally, totally fine! If you prefer a long or short walk, I can do either. If your dog is a high energy breed and they need to run, don’t worry, I came in my running sneakers. Want to make sure your pet is feeling secure and happy? I’ll send you as many photos and videos as you would like throughout the visit!

Information Katie C. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors I should be aware of and therefore, can accommodate in the best way! Are they better in the yard or on leash? If on leash, are they at all leash aggressive towards other dogs, people, or children. Are there any medications (especially, senior dogs) that need to be given or applied? What is your dogs general temperament? And finally, are there any special things I should know i.e. scared of thunder, fireworks, etc.

A typical day

I love being able to bring happiness to you and your pet. If you prefer playtime and a yard visit that is fine. If you prefer a walk or run in your neighborhood, that is also fine with me. I have a great park down the street from my house that offers great opportunities for running and play!

Pet care doesn’t fit into my life, it is my life. I enjoy being with animals as much as possible and love when I can bring a positive experience into someone’s day while they are at work or tending to their other responsibilities.
