Pet care experience

All Breeds, All Behaviors: All Love

Hi, I’m Katie! 🐾 I’m a professional dog trainer with 5 years of experience and the owner of Dauntless Dogs. Dogs aren’t just my job, they’re truly my passion. I work from home full-time, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, individualized care and plenty of one-on-one attention. I’m especially passionate about owner education and helping people better understand their dogs, their behavior, and how to communicate with them effectively. I have experience working with a wide variety of dogs and behavior cases, and my background also includes working on a ranch with many different types of animals. I’m selective about the clients I accept so I can provide the highest quality care possible, but behavioral challenges absolutely don’t mean your pup isn’t welcome! My goal is always to create a safe, structured, and positive experience for both you and your dog. ❤️ Be sure to check out all of my reviews and see what my clients have to say! ⭐️

Safety, trust & environment

I am very adaptable to whatever my clients needs may be! Whether the dog needs special medication, or has difficulty with nail trims I trust in my ability and patience to help owners execute these tasks! There is not been a dog that has been too large or too small for me to dedicate my time and experience too! I make sure that my expectations for my personal dogs are at an appropriate level to be able to assist me with training and perform high-level obedience tasks in public settings. I can communicate clearly with them and be a fair and loving owner.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kate was absolutely amazing! She showed up right on time and was incredibly caring and attentive with our two dogs. She was also very communicative throughout, which gave us total peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be using Kate again. We look forward to having her care for our dogs in the future. Highly recommend!

Schedule

I am a full-time dog trainer! Rover is a little break from my regular clients and workload! I perform intense one-on-one coaching sessions as well as board and training programs so I have the flexibility to accept new clients regardless of schedule.

16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs

Katie can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Clear communication is key! I will always do my best to be as transparent as possible and give as many updates as you need! Whether you want constant updates or just a beginning and end of the walk text, I will make sure to accommodate your needs!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
