I love big dogs with big hearts!

Pet care experience

My family pet is a bull mastiff-lab mix, so I have a lot of experience caring for larger, harder to control dogs, especially on a leash! I’ve also dog-sat for many of our friends and family!

Communication could have been much better. We arranged for Katie to come over on a Saturday at 1pm to meet my dog and give her a key. Katie didn’t show up or message me so at 1:15 I had to reach out & ask if she was still coming. She informed me a friend of hers was upset so she would need to come later. I understood needing to reschedule but my first red flag should have been when she didn’t reach out to tell me, but instead left me waiting. She didn’t come the first day because she wasn’t feeling well, but also didn’t tell me until the afternoon. At that point it was too late to make other arrangements (we have doggy day care as a back up.) Every single walk she did take my dog on was under 30 minutes, and I got one picture of my dog and another selfie of Katie in her car which was really odd to me. I wouldn’t trust Katie to help with my dog again and unfortunately cannot recommend her to a friend.

We’ve used Katie a few times and she’s been great with our dog, very communicative, and trustworthy

Katie is capable of taking care of and providing the utmost attention to your pet. I've known her for several years and can attest to her ability to properly and carefully fulfill the responsibility of pet caregiver. She not only has had the obligation of caring for her family dog but also at times the family itself, and I can say with confidence that she has done a great job at it. Katie would be a great choice for your pet and I have no doubt that your pet would choose Katie.

My pup loves Katie! He is always excited to see her! She shows up on time and is available when we need her. We couldn’t be happier with her!

Safety, trust & environment

I live about 5 mins from Monroe Park, where your fur baby can get exercise, sun, and socialization! I also place great importance on hydration as well, and it’s crucial to me to make sure your dog gets plenty of water and rest during our walks, especially in this heat!

Information Katie L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has a difficult time around other dogs. Also, if your dog tends to pull on a leash, or is particularly aggressive, please let me know ahead of time.

A typical day

I live incredibly close to a wonderful park, and I am more than happy to walk and play with your dog there! Feel free to send me with some well-loved toys and they will get plenty of one-on-one attention!
