FIDO’s Flexible BFF
Pet care experience
I can’t remember a time in my life where a dog wasn’t a part of it. As an avid animal lover I have years of both personal & professional experience. Both of my dogs are rescues. I adopted Bear in 2016 from Forever Home New England & Gryffin in 2021 from KC Pet Rescue.
Reviews
Katie is phenomenal! My nervous pup warmed up to her very fast. She’s reliable and always communicative!
Katie has been a very reliable, flexible and courteous dog walker for our pup Billie! She is a great communicator, is always punctual and takes great care of our dog. We highly recommend Katie!
I have gone through a LOT of walkers/sitters for my dog, Sam, and just haven’t been able to find someone who can handle my dogs incredibly high energy. That is until I stumbled upon Katie! She’s been walking my dog everyday while I’m at work for several weeks now and she is seriously one of the very few people I trust and feel completely comfortable leaving my dog with. She is very responsible, exceptionally communicative, and punctual. She’s even helped me out with a few last minute services I’ve needed for Sam! And most importantly, my dog goes nuts for her when she comes. Would give her 10 stars if I could!
Thank you so much Katie! We were worried a lot leaving our high energy dog to someone else to care, but Katie was amazing with him. He was always content when we came home from our long days, and that he was just a tad bit tired too was always a plus. Katie was great communicating with us too. She was able to help navigate our changing schedules and remain flexible yet reliable. We really appreciate all that she did. Dog walking (scheduled once / day), but it was so much more than that!

Information Katie M. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for such as leash reactivity, resource guarding or separation anxiety.
A typical day
I love to check out local parks with my dogs & my doggo friends. I prefer trails to asphalt always but I’ll make the best of it regardless. If I’m boarding your dog I only take on one boarding client at a time.
