Pet care experience
I’ve cared for every breed of dog from Dachshund to Irish Wolfhounds and everything in between. With 7 years of ranch work, 5 years in a kennel environment, and 18+ years with my own animals; I can promise a level of care, compassion, patience and love like no other!

Second day in a row Katie come on a short notice. She’s been great with Chip. Thank you!
Prompt to respond and awesome with Chip at last minute notice!
Katie was a dream! As a furbabies mom and dad yes we are going to miss them but just talking with her we felt extremely confident in having her to watch them. She went WAY p ast what we were expecting from her. She picked up poop in the backyard, (which now our lawn people are going to expect us to do it now-lol) she mopped the floors when the dogs would come in with dirty paws, washed sheets (she stayed over), etc. She was our "dog angel" sent to us so we could enjoy our vacation and not have any guilt leaving them behind! She is DEFINITELY A KEEPER!!!!
We can’t say how much we love having Katie watch our girls. We’ve had Katie watch them about 3 times now and she has been absolutely wonderful each time. This time she was booked for an overnight stay with another household but willingly made accommodations to visit our girls periodically throughout her day(s) so they could eat, get snuggles, and go potty.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Knowing and understanding an animals needs is very important to me. Working in a kennel environment I’ve learned a tired dog is a happy dog and a happy dog= happy owners. I personally walk my dogs 1 mile everyday and would be happy to do the same for yours!
Information Katie K. would like to know about your pet
Information I would need beforehand includes: Behavioral- reactive to other dogs we might run into on a walk. Whether it be ANY dog or just buddy from two house down that your dog doesn’t like. Anxiety- should I leave the TV on when I leave? Training/routines- Should I mix it up or do you and your pup like things a specific way?
A typical day
I like to “scout” the neighborhood I would be walking your pups in beforehand. This lets me know the best routes, I can see if there are in loose dogs, or fence aggressive dogs in the area. Fetch in the yard or at a fenced in park. (I avoid dog parks- can discuss in person) I can promise a happy dog when you return!
