Pet care experience
I have puppysat my friends’ fur babies for years. I’m very good with dogs and in particular, puppies and seniors (with meds) - I love/spoil all like my own. I must say, every dog I’ve watched has a little piece of heart … they’re all special ❤️ (You’ll see some of our guests in the photos section).
Reviews
Katie is awesome and treats guests like her own dogs!! I always know Oliver is in good hands and will come back absolutely exhausted after a weekend with Katie and her pups!
Katie is great, my pup always comes home exhausted and I know she treats him like her own when he stays with her!
Beanie is so lucky to spend time with Katie. He comes home so happy and healthy and I’m sure he will visit again. :)
Katie made boarding Maple a breeze. She was easy to coordinate pickup and delivery with and was always ready to share photos and updates. We would definitely recomend Katie to our friends and have her board Maple again.
About Katie F.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I live in Old City, Philly and walk the dogs in the neighborhood. My home is their home. I put safety first, as I understand dogs and I am always looking out for them as their pack leader. Of note, I understand and appreciate dogs idiosyncrasies, however I cannot have a dog that bites - they need to OK with being handled so I can leash them and guide them. * Please - if your dog is a senior and has age-related concerns, kindly send them with their meds to ensure they will be happy and comfortable in a home other than theirs (eg anxiety, dementia) noting I do live in a apt setting and need to consider my neighbors (so they should be able to sleep thru the night).
Home
Information Katie F. would like to know about your pet
Is your pup good on a leash? Yard pups, is your dog familiar with walks (to make outside)? How are they with other dogs (no problem if they’re shy, I can respect/manage that). What is their schedule at home, as I will do my best to maintain their routine and work with pup-parent’s considerations. What is their bedtime routine? Crate, or bed? Ok with crate when I step out to run errands? Kindly have your pup in harness - as I will keep it on them for first few hours until they’re used to new environment … please, no retractable leashes. Any food considerations? Though I am flexible, kindly stick your timing as we negotiate drop-offs and pickups, noting there may be other factors that I manage in my end …
A typical day
We play with the mountain of toys my dogs have to share. Dog parks nearby, though walkies are the best thru the hood - your dog will love the plethora of sniffs and meet other neighborhood dogs. I’m good about assessing, as safety is first.

Availability
I work from home, so your babies will get lots of attention. I have two mellow small dogs who love the company. Lots of interaction throughout thru the day.
