Friends are dogs you havent met yet
Pet care experience
After spending the better part of my tenth year of life, I finally convinced my mother to get me a dog. Ever since then, I have stopped for every dog--small or big, young or old--that I could on the street to say hello (and sometimes go out of my way just in hopes of finding one). I believe my high pitched voice to be one dogs naturally love and though my boyfriend doubts me, I have seen many a dog stop on the street in search of my friendship; my friends have had to wait for me to finish making a new dog's acquaintance on the side of the street many times. I cannot have a dog right now, without the stability of a pet-friendly apartment, but I miss having them around constantly. I would love to be able to soothe that craving with your lovely dog(s) and am happy to follow any and all special instructions and take care of any other pets or plants. Life goals include adopting a senior dog and a pit/mix.
Reviews
Katie was a great sitter for my cat! She replied quickly, sent pictures every visit, and kept me up to date with the goings-on while I was away. 10/10 would recommend.
Katie went above and beyond!
Katie was a great sitter! She sent me plenty of photos while I was away and sent periodic updates letting me know what her and Jabari (my dog) did during the day. Jabari looked happy and comfortable in the pictures she sent. He was a bit sad the days following his stay with Katie, which leaves me to believe he missed being around her. I would highly recommend Katie. She asked great questions when we met which was reassuring.
Great walker! Timbo liked Katie right away. She was right on time and very accommodating with my requests. Would definitely book again and recommend. Thanks, Katie!

Information Katie M. would like to know about your pet
I will take any information you choose to give me--a favorite tree to poop at, a favorite toy, a particular noise they do not care for. In the absence of this information, I'll use my keen sense of observation (honed as an elementary teacher) to try and figure out what your dog likes most and least. I have no breed preferences but am small myself at just 5'1" so for the benefit of us both, would prefer to stick to well mannered dogs over 70 pounds.
A typical day
With no pets of my own and too much time on my hands, I'm happy to do anything your pup particularly enjoys! Dog parks, long walks, meeting strangers--or quiet games of fetch or tug indoors. Snuggles or just hanging out across the way from one another. It's about your pup!
