Pet care experience
I work at Austin Pets Alive! and have experience caring for all sizes, ages, and breeds of dogs. I’ve been trained on positive reinforcement and correct leash walking. I also am comfortable with minor medical cases (giving pills, changing bandages, giving shots).
Reviews
Katie was great with our pups! She went the extra mile to send photos and updates without us asking. Very grateful for her generosity to our hooligans.
Great !
The girls love Katie and I'm grateful Katie was able to help me at the last minute! She is always responsive!
Katie was great with Penelope and Zoe. She sent pictures and kept me updated on via text on her arrival time. She's a real pro!
About Katie K.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I love dogs and have been called a crazy dog lady by my family. I will always respect each individual dogs needs and boundaries. I do LOVE cuddling with pups but will never force it. I’ve been trained in dog body language and enrichment as well.
Information Katie K. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know a dogs energy level, favorite activities, and any behavioral concerns in advance. If I would be feeding the dog I’d love to know what times the pup is normally feed.
A typical day
If I am off work I would ideally wake up around 9am and take the pup with me to get coffee and a pup cup. After that we would go to a dog park or on a hike. The afternoon would be spent being lazy on the couch. Sometime that night I’d give the pup a mile long walk before settling in that night.
Services
Katie can watch in your home
Availability
Ideally, for dog walking, I would work on my days off (Sundays and Mondays). I do work from home most of the week so I can house/pet sit as well.
