Hi there! My name is Katie, I'm 35 years old. I've been a full time dog walker and pet sitter since 2016! I am currently taking clients in Santa Rosa, Rohnert Park, and Cotati. I offer dog walks between the hours of 9am-4pm. I love pet sitting because I truly enjoy serving my clients and their pets! I believe our pets bring out the best in us, by giving us unconditional love and acceptance, and inspire us to follow their lead. They inspire us to be happy and enjoy life, always taking some time out to play. They also appreciate enthusiasm and inspire me to keep that tail wagging as much as possible during every visit! As you can see from my collection of photos, I LOVE sending cute photo updates to my clients! If you are looking for someone to walk your dog on a regular weekly basis feel free to message me so we can arrange a meet and greet to meet you and your dog and go over everything, like where you'd liked your dog walked, and how often you would like photo updates of your pooch. I'm looking forward to hearing from you! GLOWING REVIEWS (from other platforms I use for pet sitting) ~ Katie was awesome! I know my dog was well taken care of. I love the fact that Katie kept me so well updated and sent pictures of the whole experience! Would recommend! – Cortney R. I have been using playful pets since November. Katie is my walker for my two labs Banshee and Stevie Ray. I had never used this type of service before and was nervous about it. Katie and I talked on the phone and then she met my babies. They adored her immediately. She was so loving and wonderful with them that I set her up 3-4 times a week. I have even called her in emergency same day and she comes. They love her and I love her for being so sweet and caring with them. We are leaving the area and I feel like I am leaving a family member behind. Thank you Katie. We will miss you - Susan K. I highly recommend Katie. She took such wonderful care of my dog for two weeks. He felt very comfortable and happy around her which put me at ease while away. Daily updates and pics of my dog really made me smile too. I look forward to hiring Katie again. – Cathy P. Katie was great! Not only was she able to get us in very last minute, but I was very impressed with her service. She sent photos of our dogs playing and relaxing with her. I would definitely recommend Katie and will be using her again in the future! – Jaclyn C. Katie is great, very attentive, reliable and helpful. I recommend her. – Trish M. Katie has pet sat for our two dogs and cat many times while my husband and I have gone on vacation. I’m always anxious to leave my dog because she has seizures on a regular basis and always needs her medication at a specific time, both in the morning and at night and Katie always made a point of arriving on time to feed her and give her Phenobarbital. She was in constant contact with us so we never worried about our pets. We will continue to use her services! – Susan H. My dog and I are so thankful we met Katie! Having a very shy fur-baby, I was nervous to have to find a sitter for an upcoming vacation trip I had planned. A friend referred me to Katie and at first sight, we were immediately at ease. Katie is very warm, compassionate, and patient; it seemed that my dog Abbott was immediately bonded. She really personalized my pet sitting experience sending me photos & updates of their daily dog walks and other adventures. She treated him like he was her own and that is all I could have asked for while I was away. I am very grateful to have found Katie and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. – Michelle M
