Obsessive Dog Mom & PAWS Volunteer
Pet care experience
I started dog sitting for neighbors after school when I was a tween/teenager. I am currently an over zealous dog mom to a black lab puppy and volunteer at PAWS. Because of my experience with my own little guy, I am able to help train puppies and dogs as needed. I love sending you pictures and videos, so you can be sure that you’ll get some great footage :)
Reviews
I cannot recommend Katie enough! She has a clear passion for animals and she does an incredible job! Her notes were thorough and hilarious. I was very nervous about leaving my boy (he is high anxiety and has a number of health issues), but her updates put me at ease and made me laugh every time. I could tell by his demeanor when I returned that he was very well taken care of while I was. gone. Thank you, Katie!
I cannot say enough great things about Katie, to do any justice to how wonderful she is! Katie is kind, giving and fun! She was a dream to work with and sent the best updates. Than k you, Katie!
Katie was kind enough to go back and feed our dog because we forgot to include that in the initial request. Can’t recommend her enough
Katie walked my dog 3 times in one week at the last minute. My dog has been preferring shorter walks and people watching for the rest of the time in front of my place due to her anxiety. Katie was very patient and understanding to just hangout with her. I appreciated her good communication as well. Will definitely be booking with her again!

I have been told recently that I do “too much.” I send too many pictures and my Rover Cards are too detailed hahaha. I just want you to know that your fur babies are being loved and taken care of, and your directions are being followed!
Information Katie D. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special behaviors or habits I should be aware of. Do you prefer they not say hi to other dogs on walks? Are they reactive? Are they shy and fearful? Let me know! I’m happy to work with you.
A typical day
I’m always up for a good, long walk. So if your doggo needs a longer walk to get the energy out, I’m up for it. I’m happy to take your dog to any nearby parks if you’d like, too. If your little one needs some training, I can also help get the mental stimulation going by reviewing some skills.

Availability
Fall has started up again, so that means so has the school year. I'm back in the classroom and only taking repeat clients when I'm available. I likely cannot do weekdays anymore, so once in a while weekend walks and sittings are all I'll be able to handle.
