Animal lover & Animal Rescuer

Pet care experience

I have 10 + years of experience with animals. I do have my own pets but most of the time when I have boarders I keep them separated till I know the new boarders. I volunteer with a rescue to I am use to watching dog and cats. I know how to read behavior of dogs as well. I love animals and have a flexible schedule. All my animals are extremely pet friendly. All my dogs play with puppies in the rescue. But as I said I normally don't let them interact until I know the new boarders. All my pets are vaccinated and well taken care of ! I am use to giving medications and strict feeding. I love animals and enough spending time with them!

Choosing Katie as my dog sitter was a fantastic decision. Her genuine love for animals shone through in every interaction with Stout. Communication was superb – I received regular updates and photos, which provided immense peace of mind. The level of care and attention to detail was remarkable; it was evident that Stout was not just a responsibility but a cherished companion. Overall, Katie exceeded my expectations, and I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone seeking a caring and reliable companion for their beloved pets.

Katie has been my "go to" dog whisperer for several years. She's the best. My pup is always excited to see her when I drop him off, and I know he is in great hands when he is in her care. Takes the worry out of traveling as a Dog Mom.

If I could leave ZERO stars I would. Katie has quite the scam going with her drop in visits. I saw other review with the same issue I had but she had a very firm explanation for it when we I met her. THANK GOD we have multiple cameras outside our home because Katie was hired for 12 - 30 minute drop in visits and she only stayed 2-7 minutes for every single visit and did not show for the last! She even lied and sent a message through Rover that she went to my home for the last visit but I had someone at my home that confirmed she was never there, as did the cameras. Save yourself the awful stress that put a huge damper on our vacation and do NOT use her services unless you have cameras and want to gamble she shows! She will send you messages (claims she sends pictures, never received one) that your animals are great when indeed she literally runs in and out. My dogs are 6 and 10 and had accidents in our home for the first time since they were puppies. Her answer is my camers are not correct. The time stamps do not lie. Worst Rover experience ever.

Information Katie H. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know as much as I can. I love hearing back stories on dogs. Not just because I'm curious but because its helpful information. But the important things are daily routine, feeding specifications, favorite toys. Also I like to know if the dog doesn't like other dogs, cats or isn't a fan of strangers. Nothing like this scares me, I like to know to keep your dog happy and safe. I understand dogs stress, and I try to keep their stress level down. Being away from there family is stress enough, so I want to make the pet happy.

A typical day

I live near a few parks.There is a trails behind my house and normally there is no who there. So it is a nice place to walk. I have a fenced in yard. I love to play ball with the dogs. I enjoy walking and love the company.
