Pet care experience
Caring and working with animals is my passion! I'm constantly practicing new skills or techniques such as proper handling with dogs of all ages and sizes, administering medications, taking vitals, and CPR and first aid. Making sure that our fur friends are comfortable in every situation is my biggest concern. That dedication and experience granted me a Manager position at a doggie daycare where I learned how to handle various types of behaviors and how to keep engaging with our pups. Activities such as puzzles or games are always a great way to provide mental stimulation! With behavior I have learned many tricks to help teach our pups. I can help you teach commands such as sit, wait ,leave it, gentle, and shake. Grooming is also a service I can provide. I can properly bathe, do nail trims, foot trims, sanitary cuts, and ear cleanings.
Reviews
This was my first time using Rover. My family were initally apprehensive about leaving our four legged kiddos (Dodge and Jax). As a matter of fact, we had only ever left them once. I selected Katie and sent her my request. She was very prompt and replied very quickly. She was welcoming! We arranged for her to come meet them several hours later. She was very knowledgeable and explained the routine/care she provides for her four legged clients. This made us less anxious about leaving them, especially for such a long period of time. We felt very comfortable with her and we booked right afterward. My family opted to sign up for day care services for the two kiddos, so they could get used to being with Katie while we are gone for 18 days. Katie sent me pictures and informed me of the things they were doing while in her care (interacting with other dogs in her care as well as how they were adjusting to the new environment). Thank you, Katie!!
Katie has shown the utmost understanding in caring for my very fearful, reactive pup. She has demonstrated confidence in handling him and patience as he gained trust. She was very kind in all our interactions and easy to communicate with. I will be using her services in the future!
Katie is very prompt, professional, organized, detail oriented, and considerate. She is truly wonderful with animals and I would highly recommend her to anybody looking for any and all pet care services. look forward to using her services again soon!
Katie is great with all animals. I have three dogs that can be somewhat high maintenance sometimes. My oldest husky sometimes doesn’t like to eat her food. Katie did her absolute best to get her to eat and was very patient with her. My youngest pup can be somewhat of a handful sometimes but Katie made sure she got exercise and my puppy even got to play with her dogs. She was also able to administer medication for my shepherd, who has some bad hips. She sent photos and updates regularly so I didn’t have to worry. I came home to happy and tired pups! Thanks Katie, I’m happy to have found such a great dog sitter!

Safety, trust & environment
We do have a fenced yard and a gate on the front deck to ensure no escapes happen. However if the front door is opened all animals will be secured or kenneled. I am also able to send updates to let you know how your furry friend is doing! My fiance and I have been caring for dogs for a while and we are confident we can provide a safe enviorment for everyone based on all types of situations.

Information Katie G. would like to know about your pet
Important information to know is any special needs that the dog will need or any behavior concerns that may make them difficult to handle, so that I can be the best prepared!
A typical day
The all trails liking app is the best to find new trails and I always love to find a new trail to explore with a friend. Mental stimulation and enrichment are super important so we’ll play lots of puzzle games to keep us busy.

Availability
I’m currently working part-time. Which gives me lots of time to spend with the pups. My fiance and sister also love to help out. So they are always able to be supervised if necessary. When boarding dogs stay with me they have the freedom to be out in the yard or our deck for as long as they'd like and we also normally do a morning, noon, or night time walk or hike.
