Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pet's happiness is my priority
I've had dogs and cats my whole life and love taking care of them. I've been professionally caring for dogs, cats, horses, chickens, goats, cattle, pigs, etc. for over 15 years. I have been around many different breeds of cats and dogs and can honestly say I love them all. I spend my days training horses and caring for livestock, so I have experience caring for all types of animals! Making pets and owners happy is my number one priority, and I will do what it takes to ensure good service. I am punctual, professional, clean, and friendly. I'm detail oriented and love animals more than almost anything in the world! I'm flexible and will work with your requests to create the best pet care plan possible. My goal is to meet and exceed your expectations! *Please note that we have three dogs, one of whom is dog-selective, in our home. We keep these dogs in a totally separate part of our home whenever we have other pets over for doggy daycare or boarding. This helps provide an incredibly safe environment for everyone—your pet will be able to hang out with me all day long without having to worry about any other pets. If your dog is very dog-friendly, they may hang out with one or both of our friendly pups if requested. It's important to me to keep pets safe and happy. I will care for your pets the way I would care for my own! I am great at following directions and will make sure that things are done the way you'd like. I keep dogs on a leash when they are outside and not in a fenced yard to ensure they are safe. When walking your dog, I will avoid other animals and people unless you want them to become more socialized. When staying in your home, I will clean up after myself and treat your home with care.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Katie gives the utmost attention to my dog Ozzy when she visits and makes traveling easy because I know how thoughtful she is to him and his high energy.
Katie was excellent with Brody! He is a nervous guy and Katie helped him adjust and continued to meet all of his needs throughout his stay. Highly recommend Katie! We will be booking with her again!
Excellent care of my two cats. Great Job!
Katie is so great with Hiccup. He loves his day care visits with her with the walks to do all the sniffs and watch all the bunnies, she also takes the best pictures for pupdates.
Katie takes great care of my dog Ozzy whenever I need to travel. I recommend booking Katie for any of your dog sitting needs.
Katie is great and takes such great pupdate photos. Hiccup has such a good time while he is there and comes home happy and tired.

Schedule
I work very part-time (currently Wednesday and Thursday from about 7 am to 7 pm) so I have considerable flexibility in my schedule. Whether your pet needs a single daily check-in or care all day long, I will do everything in my power to make sure I’m available when you need me.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s comfort and safety are absolutely top of mind for me. My goal is to make them feel as comfortable as possible while you are away, so I’ll do my best to maintain similar schedules, routines, etc. We have a large, safe fenced in backyard along with a lovely dog run with 6-foot fencing. Our property is nearly 9 acres, so we have lots of room for walks and playtime. We also live on a quiet road with miles and miles of low-stress walking options. We do have three dogs who live in our home, but they are all kept in a completely separate area during the length of a guest dog's stay. This keeps everyone safe and happy. If your dog thrives in the company of other pups, we can have a meet & greet with one or two of our friendly dogs to see if they get along... and if they do, we'd be happy to have them all play together!

A typical day
Daily walks, play time, snuggle time (if they wish), lots of engagement and fun! I am open to the varying needs of each specific animal and seek to make the experience a comfort while their owner is away from home. For dogs staying in our home, we have a variety of great options. We have a large, secure fenced yard; a large dog run with 6-foot fencing; and multiple safe indoor spaces. Dogs stay in our home with us and get to be a part of our daily lives. Unless otherwise directed, they are allowed on our furniture and can make themselves at home while they're here.

- I'm willing to work with all kinds of animals. I believe all animals have great hearts and are deserving of attention and lots of fun time. I think it's important to know your pet's level of comfort with other cats, dogs, humans, etc. so that I can keep them as comfortable as possible while you're away. Do they have a special feeding routine? Do they need medications? Any important details you can share about your pet will help me to provide the best care possible.
