Information Katie K. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs, is on medication or has allergies, or if your babe has some bad habits, like barking, potty accidents, chewing on furniture, digging, etc so that I am aware of it beforehand and know what to expect and how to prevent any issues!

A typical day

I love to teach dogs the following commands, if they don't already know them: sit, lay down, stay, come, paw, waiting to eat and then saying "okay!" when they're allowed to eat. I also love playing with toys to keep them stimulated. And if your dog likes to rough house, I love lightly wrestling them. I am used to dogs that are active and high energy!

Animals are my therapy♥️

Pet care experience

I'm the kind of person who says hi to pets before their owners. 😅 I’ve been surrounded by dogs since I was a baby—they’ve always been family to me. During college, I fell in love with cats when I adopted an 8-week-old Bengal kitten. Sadly, after 10 years of companionship, I had to say goodbye to him. Now, I’m back on Rover to do what I love: caring for animals. I offer drop-in visits and dog walking, but my favorite thing is hosting your fur baby at my place while you’re at work or on vacation. I live in a cozy one-bedroom apartment on a quiet street in East Sac (recently moved here from SoCal). My place has a private fenced backyard with trees and is right across from a park. It’s dog-friendly and perfect for hosting– I can host up to 4 dogs at a time. I'm a registered dietitian working from home, I spend most of my day on calls, so its important your dog does not bark a ton. My calls are usually 30 minutes long with 15-minute breaks in between, plus a lunch break and morning/afternoon downtime. I’m also experienced in leash training, crate training, and teaching tricks—positive reinforcement is my go-to method. My place also has a bath setup with a shower door and corded shower head, so I can easily give your dog a bath if they’re comfortable with it and you’re interested. Looking forward to meeting you and your fur baby!

She was truly a Godsend. She relieved my stress, and the dogs had a great time. I would absolutely use her again.

Katie was exceptional. I am so glad I found her for Blitzen to leave him with and know he is loved and well taken care of while I adventure. Katie is communicative, flexible and absolutely caring when it came to Blitzen. I can highly recommend and Blitzen is already excited to go back!

WOW! 5 stars for Miss Katie K! What a fun and loving sitter. My sweet pitty girl Luna has never felt more at home. She sent some fun pictures and really gave her so much attention and lots and lots of exercise. She’s got a great little yard for fetch and a wonderful breakfast nook for morning coffee and doggie window watching. She was very easy to communicate with and was very flexible with timing for drop off and pick up. What a great experience for my Luna. I could tell she was going to miss Katie the moment we left.
