Highlights
Pet care experience
Work-from-home expert sitter!
I have decades of experience caring for all types of pets. In addition to dogs and cats, I have cared for guinea pigs, rabbits, other adorable rodents, fish, frogs, turtles and other herps, and even insects! I have also helped clients with puppy and dog training and developing deeper relationships with their furred, finned, and feathered friends. Send a request for training rates.

Ratings and reviews
Katie C. cancelled a booking 2 days before it was scheduled to begin.
This was Bodhi’s second stay with Katie. He has a great time as there's always a doggy buddy to play with and he loves Katie and Joe. Bodhi can be a picky eater and I very much appreciate Katie’s patience with him!
Katie was phenomenal in caring for our dog Brodie. She was so professional and caring. I can’t say enough good things about her!
Katie is exceptional. Her warmth, focus, care, and expertise in being with and taking care of dogs is outstanding. She took care of my sweet (and spicy) little boy while I was gone for a short trip, and I knew I had made the right choice to leave him in her care. I received updates, pictures, and through that I could see he was having a great time. I wouldn't trust just anyone to watch Wolfie, and I trust Katie fully.
Bodhi had a great time at Katie’s! He benefitted from good structure and having playmates on hand! It was so nice to have regular updates too. Thankyou Katie!
Katie is the absolute best and always takes amazing care of our dog. Pretty sure our dog likes going to Katie’s more than she likes being home!

Schedule
I work from my home office and enjoy a flexible schedule. I take several breaks throughout the day to stretch and move and exercise, so I'm happy to take your pooch along with me. Our own dog, Peter Brady, gets two walks of at least a mile and a half each day, mid-morning and late afternoon. We have two crates, a ridiculous amount of toys, and love to spare.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I never, ever let clients' dogs off leash in unfenced areas. I carefully monitor greetings and interactions with other dogs or with humans and follow client guidelines. Mealtimes are also carefully monitored. I employ positive training methods and use lots of exercise and redirection.

A typical day
We live in Aldea, north of Santa Fe, with acres of dedicated open land, arroyos, walking trails, wide, smooth roads, and miles upon miles of sidewalks. Our back yard, though small, is just fine for active dog play, low-key fetch, and tug-of-war. Our office on the ground floor is just off the open floor plan, allowing for supervision without hovering. Lots of hand-feeding and treats keep pups' eyes, nose, ears, and attention engaged.
