Pet care experience

Love dogs and miss caring for them

I’ve had a family dog since I was 8 years old. I have extensive experience caring for and fostering dogs; I even had one for 7 months! I loved her dearly, cared for her daily, and made sure she went to a perfect forever home. I unfortunately do not have enough length of time to foster another dog but want to keep dogs in my life <3

Katie is such a great caretaker. She has looked after her our dog on a few different occasions and is great about communication and being a caring sitter.

Dog Walking • Jun 27, 2026

It's always a peasure to have Katie walk our dog. She is a good communicator, is punctual, is friendly and is very good with dogs. Our dog can be a bit stubborn, but she warmed up to Katie immediately and always has a good walk with Katie.

We have used Katie many times to watch our pup! She is always very communicative and has been flexible and understanding when we've picked up our dog both early and late. Katie is our go-to sitter!

A typical day

I love to play with dogs and go on walks as much as I can. Given that I work from home your dog would be well attended to and I would regularly play with it throughout the day!

Let me know if your dog has any specific behaviors that I should know about. I love dogs of any age and am happy to care for a dog that may be considered more challenging as long as I am aware of it from the start.
