Pet care experience
I’ve been around dogs my whole life, so I know just how important they are. Simply put, they’re members of the family just like any of their human counterparts! I believe that they may as well have had chairs at the table, so to speak. As such, I also believe that dogs are entitled to the same kind of quality care as we expect, which is what I bring to every booking! I simply love being able to take care of pups and simultaneously bring peace of mind to owners everywhere. I know the stress of having to be away from your best friend, so I’m here to make that time apart as easy as possible! In addition to being a lifelong dog lover, I also have tons of experience working in the hospitality industry. I’ve been a long-time pet sitter for friends and family for whenever they needed their pets or house watched over, so I’ve garnished tons of great experience through those avenues. Additionally, I have lots of experience in senior home care, so I know what it means to deliver personalized and patient service to anyone and everyone in need. I absolutely loved my time working with senior citizens, and learned so much in the process. I bring all of those lessons with me to every booking! When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it’s always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I’m a welcome presence here to make friends, and I’m sure we’ll be best buddies in no time at all. I know how difficult it can be to be away from your pup, so I do my best to make it feel like they never left your side in the first place! I do that by being very forthright in my communication. For example, I’m always happy to take copious notes on anything you need in order to feel like your pup is in good hands. Anything from meal prep to exercise times and beyond, I’m happy to take copious notes on and send to you along with our daily updates. Of course, every update will come with tons of photos of your pup and I having tons of fun as well!
Reviews
Katie is an amazing dog sitter! She's reliable, friendly, and above all my little furry ones love her. I've recommended her several times to friends and co-workers. 5 stars!!!
Katie is an excellent pet sitter. Before we moved out of state she frequently watched our three American Eskimo dogs and two cats. I was never concerned about my pets safety and well-being, as I knew they were in good hands. She even catered to their special needs. I highly recommend her to anyone that loves their pets.
Katie is an exceptionally competent dog walker. We have entrusted our two dogs, Iggy and Bertie, along with our household for many out of town trips. We never had to worry as she has been on top of all their needs. I definitely recommend that if you need a dog walker or dog sitter, that you go with her!

Some things I like to learn ahead of time: - Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? - What’s your preferred method of communication? - Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? - Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? - Is your dog spayed/neutered? - Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? - What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? - What’s the best way to spoil your pup?
A typical day
I believe that a healthy pup is a happy pup, so I’m always glad to make sure your pooch’s individual energy needs are completely met. Whether that be long games of tug-of-war or just some snuggles on the couch together, I’m game for practically anything! Each pup is different, so I’m here to make sure that they receive exactly what makes them the happiest. My personal preference, however, is to get out into wide open spaces because I believe that dogs are the happiest when they get to get out and enjoy nature!
