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.

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!
Ratings and reviews
Fantastic at communicating and helping us know what’s going on at home without us. She seems to be great with animals, as she got our shy cat to come out and say hi!
Katie is dependable kind and trustworthy!
Katie was absolutely wonderful & my boys took to her right away! She gave them lots of love & attention. She was super prompt & sent great pics! Just so grateful to Katie, I knew they were in good hands. We would definitely refer Katie to others & would definitely use her again! ❤️
Katie has walked our two dogs a few times now. She does a great job and seems to have lots of experience getting to know new dogs. Our dogs are generally anxious around new people and she has done very well to help them when we cannot be home to walk them during the day. I would highly recommend her for dog walking.
Katie took extraordinary care of Ozzy for a whole week!
Second time using! Just a great caring walker! Even in the snow!

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.
