Compassionate & Fun Animal Lover!

Pet care experience

Thanks for checking out my profile! I love animals of all kinds and would love to provide care and exercise for your pets while you are away. I am available for daily walks & check-in visits, as well as house sitting. I am also available for cat care while you are away. Drop in visits to provide comfort, playtime, feeding and litter box cleaning. I have always been an animal lover and have had the pleasure of growing up with and caring for dogs from a young age. Our family had a cocker spaniel, regal 90 lb collie, a goofy labradoodle, and later on a very protective German Shepard. They were all wonderfully unique breeds and personalities. Since officially starting to dog sit I have had the opportunity and pleasure to care for a large range of different breeds and temperaments - little dachshunds and yorkies to rottweilers and pit mixes...I am comfortable with large and small dogs and am happy to stay consistent with whatever training commands and programs you have in place. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and administering medicine, as well as puppies as young as 6 weeks of age. Please check out my excellent reviews from past rover clients and I am always happy to provide additional references upon request.

Best caretaker I could ask for! Katie goes above and beyond my expectations for a dog sitter/walker. She will give your pets the love and attention that you do (and probably more). So grateful to have someone like Katie so that when we are out of town we can relax and know our dogs are very happy.

Oliver and Bella told me that they had a great time with Katie. And she’s a lovely young woman and I appreciate her time with Oliver and Bella. Thanks so much Patty Parden.

Great to have Katie taking care of our crazy dogs. She was wonderful with two small, anxious dogs she had never met before. Our troublesome twosome loved her and we are really happy to have her as a resource. We will definitely be using her services again. THANK YOU, Katie!
