Pet care experience

Hi! I'm Katie! I am a furmom to a sweet rescue! A well mannered Australian cattle dog named Gibson. I can run with your dog for lots of exercise or take a leisurely stroll. I believe in lots of kisses and plenty of treats. I have had experience with puppies to seniors. Tiny miniatures to mighty great Danes. I just love them all. I have had dogs my entire life so this really does come as second nature to me. Which is why I have decided to open my home for pup vaycays. I understand the need to keep dogs well loved and well exercised during long days at home or when their parents are away. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your furchild! Availability with drop ins and walks dependent on situation. If your pup loves kids I'd love to bring my dog walkers in training along! A meet and greet is prefered for over night stays to ensure everyone's happiness 🐾

Absolutely the best care & loving service was given to our pup while she was in Katie’s care! We got stranded at our destination during the last snowstorm but Katie was super flexible and remained accommodating with a few unexpected changes once we were scrambling for the safest flights home! So grateful for her & our poochie was thrilled during her stay, as always!

Katie is the best! She’s always excellent at communicating and being thorough, and I know my cats are always in the best care when she’s their sitter. Cannot recommend enough!
