I have one wonderful dog at home. My home would provide the ability to play with other dogs, relax in the house, enjoy time outside in a fenced in part of our yard or on the closed deck with country views. If your dog prefers a crate or a run for some alone time throughout the day that can be arranged as well.

Information Katie D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know in advance if your dog has any special needs that need to be cared for so we can discuss a proper care plan/routine, and determine if I can safely provide services.

A typical day

During a normal work day the dogs will relax or play while under supervision and when lunch time comes we will play together or go on a walk outside. Outside of work hours, we can go on walks on trails nearby or explore the farm where there will always be new things to see and smell.

Pet care experience

I have grown up caring for animals of all types (dogs, cats, horses, cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, and more) and have previously worked with a local vet to further my passion for animals. Many family and friends have trusted me with the care of their animals through the past 10+ years. I have experience with basic training commands that I have learned from attending training classes with my own dogs with positive reinforcement methods.

Katie took great care of lily and sophie! They fit right in with they're dogs and felt right at home. She sent pics of them everyday and told us how they were doing. We will be booking with her again!!

Katie and her husband made our dogs apart of their family and home. We could recommend them more!!

I received a lot of photos while on my trip and both of my dogs looked happy as could be in all of them. I was afraid they wouldn’t want to leave! Lots of attention and playtime made leaving them behind so much easier thanks to Katie

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
