Paw-some & attentive care / service

Pet care experience

Throughout the years, I have taken care of dogs of all kinds for family and friends. I'm attentive, caring, and love to make sure your dog gets the play / walks they need. I have fostered through Stray Rescue, so I can handle dogs who tend to be more aggressive or who may have separation anxiety. The last dog I had (as well as my foster dog) both required medication, so I'm no novice to giving dogs their meds or feeding animals with specific dietary restrictions. I also have experience giving pets insulin shots. My heart has a soft spot for older dogs (we adopted my last dog when she was 12), but really, I love all dogs - I mean who doesn't! :) I'm equipped with the basic supplies (i.e. food & water bowls, toys, leash, etc.).

Katie was amazing!! She kept us updated with photos and texts while we were away, so we knew our dog was comfy and cared for. She was great with our dog - playing fetch, letting our pup take over the couch, and being patient as our dog got to know her resident cat. Our pup came back exhausted and happy. :) We'll definitely be booking Katie again!

Katie is the best! I will definitely be using her again. First time leaving my pup and she gave me a peace of mind knowing he was in good hands.

Katie was absolutely perfect. She was everything you could hope for in a sitter and more. Awesome communication, super friendly, a love for animals, I know where I’ll be taking my dog anytime I’m out of town going forward!

Katie was amazing with our 5 month old puppy. She showed up right on time and took him for an hour walk. She is equipped to handle all types of dogs including ones like ours with tons of energy. I would definitely feel comfortable using her services again. Thanks so much Katie!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a multi-family house in the Fox Park neighbors. My apartment has plenty of space for your dog to play and relax in, along with a fenced in backyard that is shared with a dog-friendly dog. We do have two floors, so if your dog has eye site issues I have a baby gate I can put in place at the bottom or top of the stairs for protection. I share the apartment with my partner, Dennis, and our roommate, Ian, and of course with, our fluffy cat Sweet Pea. If pet sitting in a client's home, I take pride in adhering to the client's instructions. I work in the film industry, and our motto is to leave a location "better than how you found it," and that's exactly what I aim to do. I make sure to leave everything better than you left it. I strive to spend time with your dog both playing and snuggling, so they feel comfortable and loved while you're away. I'll also send you plenty of photos, keeping you up to date with how your dog is doing.

Information Katie K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog requires any medication, specific care instructions, and if they’re friendly with cats. ? I look forward to meeting you and your pup! ?

A typical day

I love going on walks or runs with dogs, playing a good game of fetch or tug-o-war, but I also love down time to cuddle on the couch and watch some Netflix. Pending your pets energy level, I’ll make sure they get the play time they need, but also the love they deserve. ?
