Active and Fun Animal Lover

Hi my name is Katie and I have always loved animals! I am open to watching animals of any kind (dogs, cats, horses, etc). I have two doodles that are extremely laid back, lazy yet playful, and friendly. They love other dogs and they also get along great with cats! I am active and spend most of my weekends outside. I recently relocated to Nashville from Florida. I have countless repeat clients and can give many referrals! I was very sad to leave my clients and am hoping to find many more here in TN as I absolutely love what dog sitting. I live in my cozy home on 5 acres in Burns TN. The front portion of the yard is fenced. Cattle fencing along whole back perimeter of property. Plenty of room to run! I also live 15 mins from Bowie nature park so I can take your pup out for hours to play. If you have an older dog or a dog that doesn't love playing you can be confident they will still have a relaxing and quiet stay. If you're looking to wear out your pup for the day or just looking for an honest, reliable sitter then I am here! I also have a pond that all the dogs love to swim and play fetch in. I can ensure your dog will have a blast at my place! My pets are my children and are treated as such! My daily schedule works around them and their needs. I ensure that the pets in my care are happy, safe, and healthy (mind body and soul). I will treat your pets as if they were my own! I am all about whatever will make your pet most comfortable. Whether its spending more time outdoors and getting in some exercise or hanging around in the A/C snuggled up on the sofa!

Katie was a wonderful sitter for our boy. She treated him like he was one of her own. She sent photos and updates that helped put us at ease. I have no hesitation in recommending her.

Hawk had a fantastic time with Katie for the weekend! He got to meet all kinds of new friends and the pictures we received and communication were both excellent! Highly recommend and we will be using her again!

The absolute best! I hope she never moves and never stops offering her “caring for your fur babies” services. Kali literally whines with happiness & excitement when Katie pulls up in her pick up truck to scoop her up. Our Kali girl is a handful, but Katie makes it look like a breeze. The proof is in Kali’s extremely ecstatic reaction to us going out of town haha

Katie is fantastic, responsive, and send pics of our Remi. She’s watched our doodle a couple of times and he absolutely loves it there. Plenty of room for him to run and play!! Will use for all our future trips!

Highly recommended! Plenty of space for your pet to play and have fun. Katie did a great job looking after our Golden Retriever and sent us plenty of pictures while we were away on vacation. Looking forward to bringing our Golden back in the future!
