Hiker/outdoors lover who loves dogs

Pet care experience

Growing up with pets my whole life, I have had years of experience training, caring for, and snuggling with dogs of all kinds. My love of animals has made me a go-to dog sitter for neighbors and friends my whole life. I can take your pup for a jaunt around town or get him into the mountains for some hiking, or we can snuggle up on the sofa and read a good book. Whatever your pup is up for I am too!

Katie was wonderful during our time away! Katie was reliable with daily check-ins through photo shares and provided the boys with daily walks and all the cuddles. It meant so much to us, knowing the boys were under responsible, loving care while we were away. When on a walk, Katie properly used a gentle leader to support our golden from pulling and managing his leash behavior is a healthy, positive way. We came home to two happy, sleepy, sweet pups and a perfectly clean home with dishes cleaned and put away, bed/towel laundry cleaned and folded, our mail brought inside and trash brought out and back in from the street. We absolutely plan to book Katie again and trust her fully with our dear boys and our home while away. We appreciate you, Katie!

Katie is truly exceptional. She loves pets and people so well, and they love her right back! It’s getting harder and harder to convince my pup to come back home with me at the end of the day, but he just loves his sweet Aunt Katie! I trust her wholeheartedly with my dog and I believe you should too - your pet will thank you.

Katie is a dog whisperer plain and simple. She bonds with every dog she meets! I have a blue heeler, which typically only like one person, but my dog absolutely loves Katie (more than me sometimes lol). She is also very responsible and caring, she is always concerned with how others and dogs feel. I could not imagine anyone else being more equipped to be a dog caregiver than Katie!

I have never met anyone more in love with dogs than Katie. She is always eager to meet and make friends with the dogs she meets both in people's homes and out on the street. She seems to know how to speak "dog" and can befriend even the shyest and most standoffish dogs - immediately being able to understand the needs and boundaries for all types and personalities of dogs. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for both a sitter and a companion for their own pup.

My apartment does not have any pets so your pet will feel right at home with me. I have an unfenced backyard, and many open hiking trails and parks in my neighborhood to play.

Information Katie K. would like to know about your pet

I am not a dog trainer, and will reinforce behaviors you are working on together, but I do not have experience training dogs. Let me know how I can help you and your dog be your best selves!

A typical day

I am walking distance from the Shanihan Trailhead and the South Boulder rec center. We can go watch the ducks at the lake in the park, or hike all around the Boulder Foothills. We can play ball in the park by my house, head to the local dog park, or hang on the couch!
