Let me Pamper your Pet
Hi there, and thank you so much for taking the time to visit my profile! As pet parents, we all want the same thing: peace of mind when we’re away from our beloved dogs. You want to know your fur baby is not just safe—but happy, loved, and cared for like family. That’s exactly what you can expect when you leave your pup in my care. I’ve been a Rover caregiver on and off for many years, and recently returned after fostering a precious senior Shih Tzu named Chipper through Old Dog Haven. Their mission—to provide love-filled homes for older, abandoned dogs—truly speaks to my heart. Chipper brought me 2½ years of absolute joy before he crossed the rainbow bridge in May 2025. It was a meaningful reminder of just how much love and care every dog deserves. 🐾 What You Can Expect ✅ Individualized, Loving Care I typically care for no more than two dogs at a time, ensuring every guest receives the attention, love, and time they deserve. ✅ Constant Companionship I work mostly from home, so your dog will rarely be alone. We’ll be buddies all day long—whether we’re playing, snuggling, or heading out for a walk! ✅ Perfect Location for Pups We’re within walking distance of two off-leash dog parks and nestled in a safe, walkable neighborhood with plenty of room to explore. ✅ A Cozy, Dog-Friendly Home Whether your pup loves cuddling on the couch, lounging in a soft bed, or watching birds and squirrels through the big sunny windows, they’ll feel right at home. Crates are available for those who prefer the extra security—and I encourage you to bring a favorite blanket with their scent for added comfort. ✅ Tailored Care and Thoughtful Routines Feeding time? Done your way. Daily schedule? Followed to the letter. From puppies to senior dogs, I adapt to each pet’s unique personality and preferences. Mealtimes are calm and stress-free with separate feedings. ✅ Daily Love and Play Expect wagging tails, cheerful praise, and joyful play sessions. I aim to keep your pup smiling from the moment they arrive to the moment you return. 🐶 Safety First To maintain a healthy environment for all guests, I require up-to-date vaccination records before confirming your booking. I genuinely care for every dog as if they were my own—with joy, love, and total dedication. If you're looking for a warm, dependable, and attentive sitter who will shower your pup with affection and keep you updated with happy reports and adorable photos, I’d love to welcome your fur baby into my home. Let’s make their stay a tail-wagging, heartwarming experience! 💕🐾
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Katie was wonderful with my boy. She sent lots of pictures and gave me updates daily. She was patient with Beaus’ Frenchie attitude, which isn’t always easy. I highly recommend Katie, she allowed me a worry free vacation. I will definitely request here again.

Katie, you are the best sitter for Daisy. She has all her needs met and lots of love!

Katie was absolutely wonderful! I wish I could give a rating higher than 5 stars. She was very attentive to our dog’s needs and was extremely responsive to requests. I am definitely booking her again for future appointments for our Shiba Inu 🙂

The best dog sitter ever! Nina loves being at home and receiving affection and attention from her and all the neighbors.

So nice to have the evening out with Daisy staying with you! Thank you. See you again soon!

Katie is very caring and helpful. She sends pictures and videos. Our Tilly is building a relationship with her, we've used her 4 times now.

Schedule
I'm currently working mostly from home. We will go on several walks a day. I can give meds if needed. If your pup likes to cuddle, I'm happy to do that.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have an unfenced yard so leashed walks are the norm. For a quick potty break, we can just go to the back yard. My 14 year old Shih Tzu recently left us, so there is plenty of room in my heart to care for your pup. We will become great buddies.
A typical day
I live in an over 55 community and there are several areas for dogs to play. We will go for at least 3 walks a day and plenty of potty breaks. I have pet toys to play with at home as well. You are welcome to bring toys and snacks that your dog enjoys. They will get used/eaten.
