Pet care experience
I've been a pet owner since I was young. My love for dogs and cats has only grown as I have gotten older. Between owning two dogs throughout my life, three cats, and now a rescue dog my heart has never felt so full. I believe animals are a huge part of a family and deserve the love and care as any human does! My favorite part about owning dogs is getting the chance to walk with them, play fetch with them, and love and cuddle them, if they allow it of course. Recently my husband and I got a rescue dog - seeing how our dog is able to adapt and build her trust with us and our animals has only made my love for animals grow deeper and my desire to work and create amazing bonds with each animal I meet a top goal!

Katie was super professional, helpful, and great with Marvel. We asked her on very short notice and she came and met our dog in advance to make sure everything went smoothly day of. The photos weee great!
Katie is an incredibly selfless person who has had a lifelong love for animals. She comes from a background in social work, which I believe also displays how she is a very responsible and caring human being. I really would trust her with anything, especially my own furry family members. I have known her for 12+ years and have been able to see how much animals mean to her. Her first loves being two of the cutest and kindest dogs, and now to loving her three hilarious cats. I remember after the unfortunate passing of her childhood dog best friend, Mustang, she came over to our house to hangout. We had two dogs of our own at the time, who loved Katie, and were so excited to see her. I remember us going out to the backyard that warm evening and the dogs following us. We were just running with them, hanging out with them in the grass, and taking pictures. I have one picture of Katie and our dog, Shady. Just before that picture, she hugged Shady and said something about missing her pal Mustang, and how much she needed this. I saw her give my doggies the same hugs, the same pets, and that same love that she had always been able to also give to her whole world, Mustang. These days, a Mustang pawprint sits on her leg in tattoo form, to remind her also of the love he gave to her. A visualization of his impact on her life. And now there's Tucker, her new dog best friend who has been with her for 10 years. They've been there for each other through thick and thin, too. Katie also now is able to give this strong love to three expressive cats! I fully believe she would give the exact same love and be able to create this special bond with any animal she comes by. I would fully trust her with my furry pals, that she would put their needs first and can be assured they connect with her and love their time with Katie. Her animal family is everything to her and knows that other people feel the same.
Katie is a very caring person, and cares for animals just as much as she cares for the people around her. She has assisted me in caring for our cat who has severe dietary restrictions, and has been a care taker for her elderly, and sick dog. Animals are truly one of her biggest passions in life, and she shows that by her constant dedication to their well being.

Safety, trust & environment
When I had my dog with me I would leash him when going outside. I would check he had his water full and food out as well. With my cats I ensure they are fed three times a day, their water is full, and they have a clean area to relieve themselves.
Information Katie K. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if there are any special requests or needs the dog has while doing activities or being walked. Ensure I know if the dog has specific behavioral requirements or does better within a certain environment.
A typical day
I love to play games with dogs whether it be fetch or a quick running game. The type of games or activity I do will depend on the type of dogs and what their activity level is. I love to walk around parks or go to specific dog parks, depending on the dogs social level.
