dog-loving student
Pet care experience
I'm a grad student with a wonderful, 4yo dog. He loves other dogs more than anything, and so do I. After bad experiences with boarding facilities, I became a firm believer in the swapping of favors with other dog-owning friends. Being away from home and family can be very stressful for dogs, and I think it helps a lot to have another dog around to play and distract them. My dog is at the center of my schedule and my life. I'm happy to put yours there, too. If you have a dog that gets along well with other dogs and would enjoy long walks, play sessions, and cuddling on the couch in the evening, send me a message! (Also, I love photography and would be more than happy to snap some action shots of your pup throughout the weekend for you. Free of charge, of course!!)
Reviews
Katie is totally wonderful and so is her dog Bennett! We feel so lucky to have found them, and have already signed them up for a long-term trip this summer. They took such good care of our high-drive, high-energy girl Maia and even brought her up to the dog beach at Montrose over the weekend. Katie clearly loves dogs and has a very special way with them. She is completely reliable, accommodating and kind. A total win for everyone in this family!
Katie was a perfect dog sitter for us! She was very professional, friendly, and seemed to sincerely enjoy looking after both of our dogs. She kept us informed on everything, posted photos and videos regularly, and made sure that all their doggie needs were met. It was really cute seeing her dog play with ours on the photos she shared. It made us feel secure knowing our dogs were in good company. Thanks so much for everything, Katie!

Information Katie L. would like to know about your pet
It is crucial that the dog is good with other dogs and preferred that they are okay with cats. (But this isn't necessary.)
A typical day
We will go on long walks along the lake, and if okay with the owner, we will go to dog parks so the pups can run and romp.
