Safety, trust & environment

I live in a three bedroom home that is clean and tidy. I do have two children who are comfortable with animals and would always be supervised around your pet(s). If your pet(s) do not care for children, they can be kept separate from them as well. I have a large crate that is available to use. I also have a large, fenced in backyard, and have a great neighborhood for walking. I am naturally outdoors a lot and enjoy hiking, so I’m happy to bring your pet(s) along for hikes and rides if they are so inclined. I am trained in pet CPR (and actually saved a puppy once using it), and have also been a first responder, so I am comfortable in difficult and emergency situations. I understand the difficulty of leaving your pet with a “stranger,” which is why I’m happy to talk and meet beforehand. I want you and them to feel comfortable and like my home is their home away from home. Pets are family to me and your pet(s) will be treated with love and respect (and perhaps a little spoiled). I also have a large SUV and can provide transportation if needed.

Information Katie L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or quirks that I need to know about beforehand so I can be sure we can accommodate them.

A typical day

We have a large fenced in backyard where we like to run around and be crazy. There’s also a local dog park if that’s something you would like me to bring him/her to. We also love taking walks.

Pet care experience

I have worked with animals my entire life. As a child, I had my own pet sitting business. Fast forward and I have managed several animal shelters, owned and fostered many kinds of animals (from four paws to scales to wings and everything in between), was an animal control officer, and am comfortable handling all animals and breeds. I have also ridden horses for many years and raised farm animals, unfortunately I can’t currently board farm animals in my home though :). I currently have a 1 yr old Golden along with 2 kids. As long as your pet likes a busy household and gets along well with others, we would welcome them and treat them as our own!

I used Katie today in a pinch with my typical dog walker not being available and I will say I will 100% use Katie again. Not only was her response time super fast but you can tell she is down to earth and love your animals like her own! Thank you Katie!
