Pet care experience

I have stayed over night, walked, and had dogs come over to my place. I don’t unfortunately have much experience with cats, but I would love to get some! The longest I have stayed at someone’s place was for three days. I have three big dogs at my place who love to play with other dogs, two of them are labs and the other one is a german shepherd. The first gig I got for dog sitting was when I was twelve, I am very responsible and have a huge love for animals. I want to become a veterinarian, so I will get any extra experience I can get. I am free whenever and would be happy to help anyone out! Please contact me!!!

Katie is very attentive. My girls love her. We are able to relax knowing our pets and our home is well cared for.

We booked Katie, who is very kind, in December four our weekend away in March. With less than 5 days notice we were informed that she’d have to work at her job the same days we had booked her. There was no time to find a different sitter and her work schedule meant that our pup was only walked once on Saturday and didn’t get her medicine on the appropriate time schedule. There was much concern on our part which made our time away pretty stressful. I don’t feel we got what we paid for as a majority of the time Katie was working another job and not with our pup. We didn’t expect her to be there 24 hours a day but having our pup be alone from 9am to close to 11pm meant her evening feeding was delayed by 6 hours not to mention not being able to relieve herself for 14 hours. Ultimately our pup was happy when we got to see her Sunday so I’m thankful all worked out well and we learned that we will need to have clearer expectations for the next sitter we select.

Katie was fantastic. My dogs were very well cared for and she communicated with me throughout! Will definitely book again!

Katie was awesome! She stayed with our dog and cat for a few days while we were out of town. She sent us lots of updates and pictures, and she took great care of our girls!

My animals love to be outside and I normally stay out there with them to throw the ball and just keep them company! They get along with other dogs!

Information Katie L. would like to know about your pet

The only thing that I should need to know about ahead of time is whether your animal takes any special medication and how I should give it to them. I had owned past dogs who needed multiple medications, so it is not new for me! Most of the time I would just wrap it up in some meat!

A typical day

I love walking my dog at Riverside Park, so if you live in the Newport News area that is the spot to be at! I would love to walk your animals there and then maybe grab them a pup cup afterwards, if that is okay with the owner of course!!
