ABOUT ME: Hello! I’m Katie, a stay at home mom (of a 2-year-old) and full-time animal lover! Currently I live in Mesa with my german shepherd Blitz, my cat Cleo and my guinea pig Frank. I’ve owned almost every kind of pet growing up you can think of - snake, hamster, tortoise, sugar glider, duck, toad and so much more! I’ve taken care of friends and family’s pets for years and have also been known to be an avid dog trainer (but never did it professionally). WALKING, VISITS AND OTHER CARE: I live in Dobson Ranch in Mesa and would love to bring your pet over to walk along the water! My own dog absolutely loves it because of the ducks he sees along the way. When walking, I can handle big or small dogs and I understand the safety needed when walking someone else’s dogs. For visits, I will be able to let your dog out multiple times in the day (just let me know how often you need) and I can’t wait to play with them! If they stay at my house, I know they will love to jump in the pool, run around and I can’t wait to play fetch with them or offer them some toys! (I have a TON!) I even have treats for your pooch if you don’t mind me giving some to them! I hope on our meet and greet we get to know each other better and I hope your pooch loves me too! I love pets and you can rely on me to take care of any of your fur babies, scaly guys and fuzzy critters since I’ve owned them all!

Safety, trust & environment

BOARDING: I have a large grassy yard and a pool with a baja step (pet accessible). It’s surrounded by a tall concrete wall and a secure wooden gate so you can ensure your pets will be safe! Additionally, I have tile flooring so I’m not afraid to clean up if your pet has an accident or two. Prior to boarding, I would love to have your pet meet mine so we can ensure your pet is in safe hands! Additionally, as I do have a toddler in the house as well as another dog and cat, I do require dogs that stay with me during the night to do a meet and greet prior to booking. Excited to meet you and your pooch!

Katie is definitely someone my discerning cat seems to like, which is rare but fantastic!! I always feel better knowing Katie is looking in on my place and my girl while I’m away.

Katie is the best pet sitter we have ever had! She is the only person we use at this point and couldn’t be happier! She is consistent, great communicator and always takes the best care of our cats! Thank you Katie for all your hard work the last two weeks! We couldn’t have had such a long vacation without you!

Katie was great, she came and checked on our 3 kitties though only 1 makes herself known. They were well fed and got snacks which were enjoyed.
