Experienced & attentive dog sitter!
Pet care experience
Rover shows that I had to cancel a dog sitting. It was an emergency situation and I told the dog owner that I could still make it work, but if they had someone else, it’d be best, and they were totally okay with it. I am very reliable and responsible, so I want to make that clear, as I don’t get the amount of requests as I used to. I’m bummed Rover uses it against me so harshly. Please read my reviews. As for my experience, have had dogs in my life for 40 years. I grew up with labs, and owned my first lab in college. I owned two yorkies after that, and now my only dog is a miniature Australian cobberdog. She is very sweet, low-med energy and likes making new friends! I have a nice apartment in a house. Pups are allowed on the furniture. I live close by to some great dog parks, so your pup would get lots of exercise. I've been a dog walker/sitter for Rover and WAG for over 8 years. I currently live in Jamaica Plain MA. I am great with all dogs breeds and ages, and I make sure to give them lots of attention and cuddles. I'm also experienced in taking care of cats. I had 2 cats growing up for almost 17 years. Currently I am always home Friday - Sunday if needed. Monday - Thursday I am away for 4 hours total, and I usually have a dog sitter to keep my dog company when I’m at work for those hours. TThank you in advance for trusting me with your dog/cat. I promise that I will treat them like my own. Please my reviews. I have wonderful repeat clients!

Reviews

Katie is so kind! I definitely recommend her!

I can't say enough great things about Katie! From the moment we met, it was clear how much she truly cares for animals. As a very protective and nervous dog mom, I really appreciated her thoughtful communication. Katie was incredibly responsive in the app, sending regular updates and adorable pictures throughout the day, which really helped ease my mind. She went above and beyond to take care of Pete, even in the snow! After walks, she made sure to wipe his paws and remove any salt, showing how considerate she is of his well-being. The pictures of Pete snuggling up to her were such a sweet touch and spoke volumes about the bond they formed in one day. Katie was not only kind and professional but also genuinely sweet with my pup. Highly recommend!

I live close to Jamaica Pond which is a great place to walk dogs. I live in a house and pets are allowed anywhere they’d like.
Home
Information Katie K. would like to know about your pet
I accept all breeds under 50lbs. If your dog is bigger, but good on leash, I can make an exception. I prefer to take hypoallergenic dogs in my home, as sadly I’m allergic, but can sometimes make an exception.
A typical day
I live near Jamaica Pond, Olmsted and Lars which is a great places for me to take your dog(s) to run around. I'd take them on long walks, but will always be more than happy to play inside if the weather isn't walkable for very long!

Availability
I own a dog so it’s not hard for me to add another pup in. I have a lot of experience with it. I work part time, so I am home a lot and never leave my own dog for more than 4 hours at a time.
