I Like Big Mutts and I Can Not Lie!

Pet care experience

Ive been surrounded by animals my whole life. I love all animals but mainly grew up taking care of dogs, cats and horses. I like to get to know each individual animal and their unique personality. Im active and love to hike, run and walk. Snuggles are my favorite and I like to think I give the best head rubs and belly rubs. Ive been dog/cat sitting professionally for the last ten years and have made so many amazing fury friends. Id love to meet your babes.

Katie was amazing during the whole process. We have never used rover before and were hesitant to leave our Bailey girl with anyone other than family. We immediately trusted Katie at our meet and greet and she was incredible through the whole process. She sent us regular communications and pictures and we could tell Bailey was having a great time and felt comfortable and at ease. We couldn’t recommend Katie more and will definitely be reaching out to her again to watch Bailey!

Katie was amazing with the dogs, and I know my boys can be a lot to handle at times. She went above and beyond with her kindness and hospitality.

Katie is amazing! She took such good care of my boy while I was out of town. She sent pictures and videos throughout his stay and he was always loving life. I am so grateful for all of her time and energy—it was so nice to not have to worry about him one bit while I was away. We will definitely be back!

As an anxious owner of a highly food motivated dog, I can confidently say that Katie relieved much of my nerves by providing a beagle-proof home, lots of love, and frequent updates throughout the stay.

Safety, trust & environment

I own a large two bedroom condo with an unfenced yard for playing fetch and enjoying the fresh air! I love to go for walks and hikes and enjoy beautiful Montana. I have no pets of my own because I travel out of state at times so your pet will have my full attention. My husband works as a wild land fire fighter so he is home sporadically but also loves animals and is a great cuddler.

Information Katie K. would like to know about your pet

I love all dog breeds and understand they all have their unique qualities. Id like to know if your dog is friendly with other dogs or people/kids. Does your pet have any medical issues that need special attention. Can they climb stairs? :)

A typical day

Walks along the river, hikes up Jumbo, runs around the neighborhood and lots of play time. I also like to play fetch in my backyard. I have a cosy fireplace for lounging in front of and a sweet patio for catching some sunny rays.

I currently have an open schedule but do some part time work when I can. I can mainly work from home but sometimes do short shifts at a local cafe for about four hours at a time. I can give your pet the attention that it needs and the love that it is missing while your away.
