Information Katie L. would like to know about your pet

I’ll take all the information I can get prior to caring for your animal . I’m open to doing a meet and greet before I care for your pet as well , if that’s something you would like to arrange . Free of charge .

A typical day

I am very active . I like to walk, ride bike , hike , and swim at the beach . I would love to take your dog (with approval) through Starbucks for a pup cup . You’ll get a sweet doggie report card and update at the end of the day . I’ll also provide as much communication as you’d like via text or phone call and/or photos ! I will make sure to give your pet extra attention and spend time playing and cuddling! I genuinely love spending time with animals and will find joy in the company of your furry friend!

Pet care experience

My parents bred AKC Labrador retrievers for 15 years so I was always around puppies when I was growing up . I helped in many different ways. Lots of snuggles and play but also feeding , potty breaks and …A LOT of cleaning up . I know it takes a lot of patience , time and responsibility when they’re younger but it’s all worth it! I worked at a Doggy Daycare for 5+ years and have experience working with all types of dogs and different breeds. I provided daycare , grooming (baths, nails, ear cleaning, blow dry, brush, nail painting) , and boarding. I had various responsibilities including clean up , supervision, feeding , all grooming services , checking dogs in and out, walking , boarding responsibilities, and new referral assessments . I’ve personally owned two dogs and two cats in my lifetime . I currently have a 7 year old cat named , Diddle ! He’s my little buddy and follows me everywhere. I also live with my sister who owns a golden retriever. His name is Reuben and you’ll see photos of him on my profile . I’m a very proud aunt for all the good work he does as a certified therapy dog . I’ve been watching him since he was a puppy . He’s now 2 years old! I would love an opportunity to provide care for your pet(s) and give you peace of mind while you’re away!

Katie is a great dog walker. My dog Kiko just loves her and gets really excited when she gets here.

Katie was phenomenal! She was very easy to communicate with—I received updates and photos throughout her stay, and she made sure to follow all the instructions I left. I was 1000% confident that my home and puppy companion were well taken care of. Highly recommend Katie for anyone looking to have their pets cared for with great attention!
