Pet care experience

Walk, Run, Play, Chill: I do it all

I am a punctual, respectful woman. I have years of experience caring for my own dog as well as house sitting for regular clients in my hometown. I am respectful of everyone's different rules for their dogs as well as their different training techniques and make sure to follow all the house rules. I also have experience caring for livestock and other farm animals for those potential clients that need a sitter for their whole farm or ranch. I have experience with senior dogs that need more care and medications and I have experience medicating dogs, cats, and livestock animals. I always follow all medication instructions and I reach out with any questions or clarifying details.

Katie is prompt and dependable. We absolutely loved reading her posts about our kitties while we were on vacation. Even our shyest cat warmed up to her which is unheard of! Truly a testament to her way with animals. We would rebook Katie in a heartbeat! Thank you so much, Katie!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I am currently work in the healthcare field with normal Monday - Friday hours during the day. I am available in the early morning hours before 7:30 am and after 4:30 pm. I am also available for evening and late night drop ins and walks for the people who have odd working hours.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I always make sure to keep your house clean and I pick up after the pets. If I take dogs out for walks, I always inspect the leash and collar or harness to make sure that they are still in good shape and there is not any danger of them breaking or the dogs slipping out. My house has a fully fenced yard with a 6 foot fence and I never leave dogs outside unattended. I always make sure to have the pets leashed or in a carrier before I open any exterior doors. I also make sure to have a safe place to leave any dogs that are free of anything that they could chew or ingest and have access to several different sized kennels.

Pets

A typical day

I love getting outside and exploring new places so I would be willing to take your dogs anywhere where you and your pet would be comfortable. I also enjoy just playing in the back yard followed by a good cuddle.

I would prefer to meet the dogs and owners before staying or taking the dogs out anywhere so I can talk in person about their individual needs and wants. I also like to meet the dogs and make sure that they are comfortable with me and go over any quirks they may have with the owner.
