Pet care experience
Hi! I would love to offer your dog a home away from home! Currently we have a 7 year old Carolina breed dog and two indoor cats. Booking with me means quick response time, constant updates, and someone to love and care for your pet the way you would. I love all animals and it would be my pleasure to give you the peace of mind knowing that your pet is safe, happy and well taken care of! -Dogs can be crated upon request. -Daycare and boarding will include three walks (can be more or less depending on needs and weather), and regular visits outback. Never let outback unsupervised. -Please provide enough food for length of stay. -I can also administer any medications necessary. -Cat sitting services include food, water, litter box, mail brought in, plants watered, kitty cuddles and other smalls tasks as requested. -I can also administer any medications necessary. **Special Events/Animal Handler/Day-of Coordinator** Getting married and want your dog(s) to be a part of your special day but worried about the day-of logistics? Let me take care of everything! I can pick up your dog(s) the day of the event, bring them to the location of your choosing, assist during photo sessions, walk them down the aisle, handle them between locations, etc. I am able to give quiet yet assertive commands, will dress accordingly, and allow your furry loved ones to participate in your special day without them causing any headaches. I recommend a minimum of two Drop-In visits prior to the event date to build a relationship with the dog(s). When messaging me we can discuss details and price accordingly!
Reviews
I had a great experience with Katie! She is very dependable and took excellent care of my cats and fish while we were away for a few days. She sent me detailed updates each day. I would definitely recommend Katie! I will be requesting her again for future trips.
Katie was incredible and Chloe came back so happy. Katie was flexible and sent us lots of updates of their adventures together - 5*!
Katie is our favorite!!! Koa absolutely adores her! She’s so sweet and kind to our little ridgeback and is fantastic with puppies. She very knowledgeable and we never worry about our pup when Koa is with Katie. Thank you so much!
We were nervous about leaving our puppy for the first time away from us. Katie did a great job connecting with Koa and had great energy with her as well as her sweet pup being kind and playful with Koa. She put us at ease as well, being very knowledgeable about the breed and care of our Rhodesian Ridgeback. Katie gave multiple walks and tried to keep Koa’s routine as normal as possible and was intentional about helping with potty training reinforcement for a positive experience in a new place. Katie gave us multiple updates throughout the day with videos and photos and cuddles with our pup which she enjoyed! We highly recommend Katie for all dog breeds and ages!

I have a fenced in and secure backyard but animals are never unsupervised back there. Animals are allowed on bed and furniture in our home but if this is something you’d like me to avoid just let me know and I’ll do my best!
Home
Information Katie D. would like to know about your pet
-Does your dog get along with cats? If not, my cats have their own room that they can be put away in. -Does your dog get along with other dogs? If not, I can only offer dog walking services as I have my own dog. -Does your dog have any triggers that should be avoided on walks? Skateboards, bikes, children, etc.? -Does your dog have any allergies that should be avoided?
A typical day
I love a quick-paced walk to burn some energy but also understand the need for short leisurely walks (looking at you Pugs!) Daycare and boarding will include three walks (can be more or less depending on needs and weather), and regular visits outback. Never let outback unsupervised. We always have plenty of play time and of course several afternoon naps! When you pick your dog up they will be tired and happy!
