Loving and caring animal enthusiast

Pet care experience

I have grown up with rescued dogs always in the house. I have helped to train them and have continued this by taking care of friends pets while away on vacations. My family dog is a rescued golden mixed australian shepard. As well I have cared for my sisters dog for 4 months while she was away. There are many beautiful walking trails near my apartment that your dog and I can explore. I will always make sure that your dog has a fun time and is treated like a member of the family. As well at the end of walks or home visits I will give them a treat (if allowed by owner). I am very organized, know how to manage my time effecitently, and am very outgoing.

Katie was lovely and communicated throughout the trip on the dogs with pictures. She made sure to take them on some big walks, and they took to her quickly. I will definitely look to book with her in future.

Katie was amazing with my dog! I received lots of pictures, and my dog got to go on lots of walks and trips to the dog park. I’d definitely have Katie watch my dog again!

Katie was an excellent sitter for our dog! She was very communicative throughout our dogs stay and took him on many walks as well as played! Our dog/puppy has lots of energy so we appreciated it very much. We would definitely ask her again! ?

Information Katie G. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know of any bad habits. Like do they bite, are they bad with children , are they good with other dogs, etc. I do not have a breed preference, I love all dogs equally. Are they any medical requirements I need to know while watching/walking your dog? Do you have other pets in the home that I should be made aware of?

A typical day

I love to stimulate your dogs physically and mentally. I will play games with your dogs and take them on walks in areas they’ve never explored.
