Hello! I'm Katie. I love dogs and grew up with many. I recently moved to the Bay Area from Portland, OR, and unfortunately cannot adopt my own right now, but I'd love to help you with yours. If you are comfortable with me letting your dog off the leash in a safe area, I am happy to throw the ball for your furry friend, otherwise, I'm more than happy just to walk. What sets me apart from other sitters: I have experience training dogs and making sure they have people-friendly habits that make them easy and enjoyable to take places. Over time, I can teach your dog commands such as "sit" and "heel", or reinforce other good habits such as stopping and sitting before crossing a crosswalk. If you have something in particular in mind, let me know! Training a dog takes daily work, so I can't do it all, but I can certainly help. I'm punctual, reliable, and responsive, and will give your dog lots of love.
