Highlights
Pet care experience
Experience Pet Professional 🐾
I've greatly enjoyed caring for dogs & cats for over a decade, and hold many credentials to match my passion for animal care and wellness. 📖 Credentials: Certified Veterinary Technician, Certified Canine Nutritionist, Canine Enrichment Technician, AAHA certificate in Diabetes Education for dogs & cats, and more! Whether you have a new puppy who needs frequent potty breaks and assistance with crate training, an active adult who prefers a mid-day game of fetch, or an aging senior who needs afternoon medications and extra mobility support, you can feel confident in the attentive care that I provide. Included for your dog or cat with each drop-in visit: ▪️Health check ▪️Fill water bowls *Mid-day meal prep & snack available, especially for puppies & kittens ▪️Potty break ▪️Play time ▪️Enrichment and/or Training ▪️Treats ▪️Light brushing *Baths and nail trims by request for an extra charge. Dog/cat must be well-behaved and easy to handle. During a drop-in visit, I'd be happy to water your household plants or garden as well! All visits are completely customizable for you and your animal's individual needs. With my keen understanding for health and behavior, you will feel at ease knowing that your beloved animal companion will be well cared for!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I greatly value individualized attention and care. Meaning your animal companion is not just another number on my schedule. As a credentialed pet professional, you can be assured that they receive personalized care which goes beyond just the basics. 🥣 Feeding: Dogs and cats will be given their regular food and treats unless otherwise specified. Meal prep and snacks available if requested. 💊 Medications: If medications are needing to be given, I do require the first booking to be an introductory meeting to review with you the dosage, frequency, and administration techniques. 🐕 Exercise: Dogs will not be exercised within 2 hours of eating & I will not bring dogs to dog parks. 🫧 Grooming: Bath, brushing, nail trim. 💩 Yard pickup: Same day poop will be cleaned up during each visit. All 60 minute visits will include an additional 10 minutes of yard cleanup!
Ratings and reviews
Bieber always appreciates his time with Katie getting walks, attention, and snuggles. We appreciate her kindness and professionalism. 🖤🤎🐾
We couldn’t be happier with the care & attention our pup got from Katie! Would highly recommend her to anyone.
I can't recommend Katie enough for anyone looking for exceptional dog care, nutrition insight and training support. Our dog was a notorious chewer and escape artist, and I was at my wit's end. Katie stepped in and made an incredible difference—not only in our dog's behavior but also in my confidence as a dog owner. Her passion for working with dogs is evident in everything she does. What truly sets Katie apart is her commitment to educating the community. She generously volunteered her time to speak at our Girl Scout troop meeting, teaching the girls about dog bite prevention and sharing other fascinating insights about dogs. Her dedication to her work and her love for dogs shine through in every interaction. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about your dog, Katie is the one.
Katie is a wonderful choice for pet care! She is a huge animal lover and very passionate about the health and wellness of pets. She cares so much about my two dogs and I feel a peace of mind leaving them in her care. I highly recommend Katie!
Katie is a great person inside and out. She has a wealth of pet knowledge and always goes the extra mile with her animals, always giving them the best care and she would do the same with anyone else’s pet.
Katie is one hundred percent responsible and only has the animals best interests in mind. She has a wealth of knowledge and is very in tune with their needs and wants.
