"Katie? She just gets me" -Dogs

Pet care experience

I am a full-time freelance artist who has very flexible hours on weekdays. My two best friends are my dogs Heidi, a 10 year old German Shepherd, and Zeno, a 2 year old deaf Blue Heeler. As a dog owner and lover all of my life, I found my niche for dog behavior and training in high school when I trained and showed Heidi in 4H. I have experience working at a doggy daycare and dog training facility. I hope to one day have my own dog training business, with a focus on helping rescued and deaf dogs. I love helping people and animals, and in this business I get to do both! I like to believe I am passionate, loving, patient, intuitive, high energy, empathetic, and easy to get along with. I look forward to meeting you and your dogs!

Katie is awesome! The pups love her, and really so does any other animal. She's your one-stop-shop for any of your pets! She loves each animal as her own, even the ones she finds just walking around trails and parks (really, she took in an injured turtle and it loved its life so much it came back after she released it). Katie has a deep care that goes beyond "dog-walker" or "dog-sitter". You'll know your pets are in great hands! And she's excellent at training! I've seen her work wonders with a rambunctious, deaf puppy - which cannot be easy. I highly recommend Katie, your pets will love her, and so will you!

Katie is an amazing, loving, trustworthy and responsible human being who shows so much love and care for her doggy, Zeno. She shows great ambition in everything she does and life and has an incredibly kind soul. I would definitely recommend Katie to be your dog sitter! if you hire her you know your pup(s) will be in good hands.

Katie is a wonderful person. It's clear that she cares about other people the first time you meet her, and that absolutely translates to her dogs. If I had to trust anyone to look after my dog, Katie would far and away be my first choice.

It is so impressive to watch Katie work with dogs! She handles dogs with such enthusiasm and love and the dogs respond so positively. I definitely recommend her for your furry friends!

Information Katie D. would like to know about your pet

All dogs of all breed and sizes deserve the compassion and care I can give. If you could fill me in on your pups likes and dislikes, it would help out tremendously! Does Roscoe get a little rambunctious around a certain size of dog? Is there a special toy that Buddy will ALWAYS come running to? Maybe Lulu only likes getting pet on her back and not around her face. I want to make your dog as comfortable as possible.

A typical day

Depending on your dogs interests and needs, our options of fun and care are endless! Whatever is in the best interest for your 4-legged friends, whether it's leisurely walks and good sniffs with your elderly doggo, to running a few miles with that energetic pupper, you bet your tail they are going to have a great time! Are they bored of their toys? There's nothing more exciting than a new toy from my personal collection to play with while I am visiting. Or maybe they just want to sit and have their head scratched-- I could do that for hours... and we all know a dog that would let me. Is there a specific activity that your dog enjoys? Just let me know and we can work it out. If you and your dog approve, the option of my pal Zeno tagging along for a play date is always an option. He's great with all kinds of dogs and knows how to match their play intensity. If you think some socialization and play time would be great, let me know!
