Pet care experience
Hey there! I am currently home full-time and own a car, so making trips to Seattle's outdoor spots is a regular and easy activity. I love dogs and would be delighted to help care for your dog while I have the time :) Getting outside is a daily activity for me as I explore the city's parks and recreation areas this summer. Bringing your pup with me to soak up the Seattle sun on a walk or to play fetch would be a pleasure! Checking in on your pup in the safety of your own home is also easy to do as I have a reliable car and plenty of time. I grew up with a standard, black golden doodle named Molly, who is now turning 11. I moved out to Seattle in April 2017 and she stayed with my parents on the East Coast. She is the reason I want to help you care for your dog- I miss having quality puppy time. I am enamored by the individual personality's of dogs and will honor each particular pet's needs and wants. I have house-sat a range of pups other than my own, from a German Shepard to a Chihuahua, so I understand and can successfully manage the different needs of large versus small dogs. From types of playing, exercising, socializing with other dogs, eating, and bathroom breaks- you let me know what works for your dog and consider it done.
Reviews
Katie is an absolute gem! My 9 week old puppy was instantly comfortable with her. She was even able to to socialize my pup with other bigger dogs during her stay which is super important at such a young age.
Katie was so thoughtful and caring with our puppy! We really appreciated her attention to detail, especially when it comes to our pup’s quirks and particular pickiness with her meals. She was very responsive to our messages and sent us pics throughout the day. I would highly recommend her without any hesitations! Definitely booking again. :)
Katie is fantastic with our little puppy. She is reliable and keeps us updated with photos throughout the whole day, which we love. She also sends a report after the visit with some details about what occurred. Overall a great experience!
Katie is the best dog sitter ever! She is extremely organized, conscientious, and communicative -- and, of course, amazing with dogs! My puppy gets more excited to see her than she does to see us! Katie cares deeply about the dogs she sits, sending daily status reports, letting us know if our pup showed anything concerning, and of course, sending the best pics! She genuinely loves animals, treats them as if they're her own, and makes the process of trusting your pup with someone else effortless and worry-free! We love Katie and you and your pup will be lucky to have her!

Information Katie D. would like to know about your pet
Has he/she been socialized with other dogs? How does he/she take to new people? Any tendencies on or off the leash (i.e. run away)? Anything in particular really upset or scare the dog?
A typical day
Following the Burke Gilman Trail; Wandering around Gas Works Park; exploring Discovery Park; in circles around Green Lake; walking through Ravenna Park; gallivanting at Magnuson Park and playing fetch in the water there if that's cool with the pup's parents. Fetch, soccer, tug of war, belly rubs, and tag are a few favorite activities of the pups I have cared for in the past, but I am open to play as each individual pup likes.
