I am the stranger on the street that will get excited and ask to pet your dog 🤭 I grew up with cats, dogs, and rabbits. For the past three years, I have helped raise my family’s Australian Shepherd.

Safety, trust & environment
My most common service is house sitting at your home since it’s usually a better experience for your pets. Since I work remotely, this is usually the easiest option too. I love to take puppers on hikes if they’re up for it! I always like to know how many miles they enjoy and try to find hikes with plenty of water and shade. I’ve even taken Rover dogs camping over the weekend (with consent of course)! I generally get booked months in advance as I do have loyal clients! I am totally a Type A person who plans far into the future so no request is too early for me. I look forward to meeting you and your pets!
Ratings and reviews
Katie is a fantastic and very responsible choice for caring for your pets. She is respectful of the needs of the dog and is a thoughtful guest in your home. We recently booked Katie for a two 2week stay in our home. As an example of her going above and beyond, she took our trash out even though we had not asked her to do so because it involves bringing a big bin all the way up a half mile private road that is a steep hill. I couldn't recommend her more highly!
Katie is a solid caregiver in every way. Our giant livestock guard dogs are calm and comfortable under her care. She takes the time to know them individually. They love her belly scratches! She is a respectful house sitter as well.
Katie is an excellent dog sitter and we are so grateful she watched our pup. She leaves the house in excellent condition and is a great communicator.
Katie was great! We used her for dog walks a few times before our first trip away so she and Bruce could get to know each other. He can be a bit of a handful to walk as a 70-lb, 10-month-old who still needs some training, and Katie handled him really well. She stayed at our house for four nights and sent great daily updates with photos. We came home to a happy dog and everything in perfect order at the house.
Katie is a very skilled dog handler. She is calm and steady and understands dog behavior. She goes out of her way to help owner and pet feel secure. She went above and beyond to help our suspicious guard dog get accustomed to her and eventually even become bonded to her. I highly recommend her and will definitely ask her back.
Thank you Katie for taking such good care of our dogs! We appreciated the daily pics of each of our dogs along with a summary of activities and food eaten. This helped us know they were doing well.
