Pet care experience

Loving, Reliable Dog Sitter

I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and absolutely love animals—my family has a Samoyed, a golden retriever, and a black lab, so I’m no stranger to different breeds and sizes. In college, I regularly walked and house-sat for a few families, and I love staying active by taking dogs on long walks. I’m outgoing, clean, and organized, and I’d love to help care for your pup!

Katie was absolutely wonderful! My dogs are not always the easiest but she handled everything perfectly. Katie was punctual, kept me updated while I was gone, and followed all instructions I left her. I highly recommend Katie to anyone who is in need of a sitter for their pups!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Katie! Our dog Guinness absolutely adored her, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in caring hands while we were away. Katie sent regular updates and photos, which made us feel reassured the whole time. She went above and beyond— bringing in our mail and recycling. It's clear that Katie treats the pets she sits for as if they were her own. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and will absolutely be booking with her again!

Schedule

I work a full-time hybrid role which means I am usually home two days a week and available most weekends. I love going on long walks and staying active outdoors, so your pup will get plenty of exercise and attention!

Safety, trust & environment

I’m experienced and comfortable caring for pets in others’ homes as well as walking dogs of various sizes and breeds, including large and high-energy dogs. I enjoy taking dogs for long walks or to the park. In addition, I also live in a walkable neighborhood with lots of trails nearby.
