I’ll keep their tails a waggin
Pet care experience
I have been around dogs my whole life and absolutely love them. We recently lost our golden girl to cancer and I thought this would be a great way to get some dog cuddles in. I have experience with both large and small breeds and have passion for senior dogs. I can distribute medication and have learned how to give dogs insulin. Walking is a daily occurrence for me and including your dog on my walk would be a piece of cake. I also know how important it is to let your pet sniff on their walk. So don’t worry, your dog can stop a hundred times to smell the roses if they want to.
Reviews
Katie was awesome! Very nice and great communication.. My dig had a lot of fun with her!
This is Heidi’s third time staying with Katie. We are so grateful for her caring approach and for her lovely family. Our girl had the best time. 🙂
Katie was so great with our golden Malibu. She gave her all the love and attention she needed. We received updates from her to know how Malibu was doing and we really appreciated that. It set our mind at ease knowing while we were away our girl was well taken care of. Definitely plan on using her services again soon!
Kate has watched Rue a few times now and I can’t recommend her highly enough. She really loves Rue and will make sure she is comfortable for her entire stay. Prior to Katie, Rue would stay at kennels and come home disheveled and typically with kennel cough or some other ailment. When she comes home from staying with Katie, she is in perfect condition, happy, and calm. Katie has been a huge help and such a positive in Rue’s life!

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a nice neighborhood and my home has a large fenced in yard. There is plenty of space for ball catching and rolling in the grass. Inside, I have enough space to watch multiple dogs and keep them separated if need be. Pocket doors and baby gates make that part easy. If your dog likes to use a crate, I can accommodate that as well. I know how much anxiety you must feel dropping your dog off but I want you to know my home will literally be your dogs home.

Information Katie D. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know ahead of time if your dog is potty trained so I can adjust my schedule to your dogs needs. Also if there is any aggression issues or feeding issues. Does your dog need need to take any medication and does your dog get along with other dogs?
A typical day
I love walking, currently I am doing a step challenge so your dog will gets lots of walks. Of course this depends on what they can handle and what you would like. We have a nice park by us that has a great walking trail. The trail goes into the woods which makes for great sniffing spots.

Availability
I think the best thing about having me watch your pet is that I work from home. My schedule is very flexible. I am able to stop multiple times to let your dog out, feed, walks, playtime, and of course cuddles.
