Loving on your pets is my #1 focus
Pet care experience
I have been a pet sitter for over eleven years and have loved every minute of it. Dropping by, boarding, or house sitting are all areas i feel right at ease with your fur babies! Whatever is easiest and best for them, is always what I will want to do! I’ve volunteered at the humane society and have experience with many different sizes, temperaments, and ages of dogs and cats. In addition to this, I also have fostered critically ill dogs and helped them to have a full recovery. Between my medical background and my experience with the dog I was fostering, I am always on alert for any changes that could be abnormal and communicating those to you! I have a love for all animals and cannot wait to start caring for your fur babies as well!

Love love love Katie!! Cannot say enough great things! I've been using her for about two years now and wish I had found her sooner! She's been amazing and I know my dog has loved her as well. She's super down to earth and has a huge heart for animals.
We love Katie so much! She is someone who takes great pride in anything she does. Dog watching is no different. She is always at the top of my list of people to ask when I need someone to come help with my dog. Our dog has a lot of health issues, but that did not scare her away. After explaining everything one time, she was a pro! It can be hard to find someone willing watch a dog with special needs, but Katie relieved that stress instantly!
I cannot say enough good things about Katie. She is hands down one of the best dog watchers our family has ever met. She takes great care to make sure that your animals are looked out for and getting the most out of their time with her. Sometimes I think our dogs might like her better than they like us because of how much care and love she gives them. I cannot recommend her enough.
Katie has been watching my dogs for over five years. She's one of the most dependable and responsible people I've ever met. I've never once worried about if my dogs were being taken care of when she was watching them. They become so excited when they look out the window and see her coming. Her focus is 100% on the dogs once she arrives and spoils them so much with all the love she gives.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
While I do not have a fenced in yard, I have a variety of leashes that allow for playing outside still. In addition to this, I will often go to a nature preserve and go for a hike as a way to let out some energy safely. I do have one senior dog who tends to keep to her self and can also be separated to a different floor of the house as needed. I also have multiple size crates if needed if a safety issue were to arise and needed quick separation.

Information Katie G. would like to know about your pet
I always love to know what your animals “quirks” are so that I’m not caught off guard ?. I always say that there is never too much information you can give!
A typical day
I have a large neighborhood that is great for daily walks. In addition to this, I often head over to nature preserves, Veterans park, or Herdmont park for a nice change of scenery. And while exercise is great, I also think a nice relaxing belly rub after working all that energy off is a perfect way to a day!

I am currently working part time, so my schedule is quite open! When not working three days a week, I am typically loving on someone’s fur baby the entire time. I’d love to talk with you about your schedule and needs to see if they are a right fit!
