Availability
I work from home full-time - so I'm on hand for frequent potty breaks. My teenaged children also love to help out with playtime and walks.

About Katie L.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a 1-story private home. I have almost an acre of land and my yard is partially fenced. My pets are very friendly, and my kids love all animals. Because I host multiple dogs at a time, space is limited. To keep things safe and organized, please bring only essential items for each stay. Please provide food in a sealed container or pre-portioned bags. Large items such as oversized feeders, beds, or bulky supplies are not necessary and may not be used during your dog’s stay. Thank you for understanding — this helps me provide the best care possible for all dogs in my home!

Information Katie L. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about any special needs your pet may have! Your pet’s safety and security are a top priority to me while they’re in my care. Please also be prepared everything your pet might need during their stay, including food. Thank you! **IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT CAT DROP-INS** I realize that bookings are for 30 minutes. However, I do feel that's quite a long time for cats. I want to be upfront with owners booking cat drop-ins with me that typically I spend 15-20 minutes with my feline friends. In my experience that's more than enough time to tend to your cats needs, show them some affection (if they show an interest!) and do everything that's needed. Most cats, I have found, don't need more than a few minutes attention to be satisfied. I still make sure all of your pets needs are met on my visits.
A typical day
Not only will I keep your dog engaged - my pets will help with that as well! They all love to play. Not sure if your dog likes cats? That’s ok; my feline friends know when to make themselves scarce. ☺️

Pet care experience
With over 30 years of experience caring for pets, I have developed a deep understanding and love for animals of all breeds and sizes. I currently share my home with a dog and three cats, so I'm well-versed in their needs, including administering medications and managing specific diets. I live in a spacious, ranch-style home with a partially fenced yard, perfect for pets to stretch their legs. Since I work from home, I'm available for frequent potty breaks and can offer plenty of attention and care throughout the day. Your furry family members will be in great hands! *Please Note: I do typically take more than one furry friend at a time!*

Lincoln always has a smile on his face when he’s with Katie! Always cares for him as if he’s her own!!!
Katie accommodated our last minute plans and our two cats were happy upon our return. Many thanks to her!
Katie was great, very accommodating. Would definitely use her again.
Katie was fantastic at taking care of our puppy. She had so much fun!
