Safety, trust & environment

Because I have a young and a senior dog, I am comfortable and have experience giving dogs medicine. I know the special care and patience that senior dogs sometimes need and the mental as well as physical exercise puppies do.

Information Katie C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know what special routines you have for your dog or specially needs. I will try to keep to your routines for leaving the house and going in the crate, etc. I also like to know if your pet gets along well with others that we may meet on walks or if we should keep our distance.

A typical day

I love to keep dogs busy both physically and mentally. We can take long walks and play games. I like to engage dogs mentally in puzzles and brain games as well. Dogs also enjoy chances to sit quietly, observe, and to take leisurely sniff walks around the neighborhood.

Pet care experience

Growing up my family always had large dogs. I loved them and helped care for them. In college I did a lot of dog sitting in the summer- watching dogs I had just met while their owners were away on extended vacations.

Katie did a wonderful job taking care of our dog. Her communication was thorough and prompt. Katie took special care of our dog’s needs and I would not hesitate to recommend her to someone else.

Harley had fun while I was away. The entire experience was flawless and super easy despite the fact that I waited until the last minute to book. Thanks for the great care!

Katie was awesome. I loved her from the moment I met her (and she met my pups) and I knew without a doubt I was leaving them in great expert hands. She took excellent care of Tavish and Tessie and their particular needs while we were away for the weekend. I won't hesitate to use Katie again.
