Animal caring, zookeeping student
Pet care experience
Hello! I am studying ZooKeeping Technology, and have a very in-depth knowledge of animal care. I have a huge heart and passion for animals. I've had my own dogs for over 15 years of varying breeds (pitbulls, border collies, boxers, huskies, Cane Corsos). Many of my family members are professional dog trainers, and I've taken training classes through school and Humane Societies in Colorado & Wisconsin. I know how important exercising a pet can be (physically & mentally) and how important they are to each pet owner. Pets are a part of everyone's family, and I'll be sure to give your pet the best adventure possible! I'll be sure to share photos of our adventures & updates throughout our time together! I would be happy to take care of your pet while you are on vacation, so you have nothing to worry about with them!
Reviews
This is the second time I used Rover and was very skeptical about using this service again; but, took a chance on Katie. I will rebook her for my future vacations. Unlike my first experience Katie is reliable and responsible. She did daily visits while I was on vacation to feed medicate and clean cat boxes for two senior cats. You can trust that she will not leave accidents all over the house for you to deal with when you get home. She monitored and gave meds to my sick cat daily and let me know right then if she got sick or made other messes and then she cleaned up after her. We were able to have a phone call to discuss an immediate need to change up the care when it was needed; and it helped.
We really appreciate your flexibility and availability. Thank you for being able to help us on a short notice, it saved us from unnecessary stress!
Katie was awesome!! Bailey had such a great time with her and her pup. Tons of room in the backyard to run around and Katie made sure she stayed active and was so well cared for. Bailey misses her new friends and can’t wait to go back!!
Katie was amazing with my puppies. One of my dogs is special needs and she just was wonderful with her. They were happy and healthy when I got home!!!

Safety, trust & environment
I will let your pet warm up to me at his or her own pace (treats, if allowed, will help this process). I am patient with every pet.
Information Katie K. would like to know about your pet
I like to know if your dog is dog friendly, so I know how best to handle the situation if another dog is near while we are on a walk. I also like to know if there are is any important medical care or history that could impact our time together.
A typical day
I enjoy walking, so taking your beloved pet for a walk in the day will provide some extra care for your pet! We will take some time to play and some time to relax!
