I’ll be your dog’s 2nd best friend!

Pet care experience

Throughout my life I’ve had many experiences with dogs of all ages! From bottle feeding tiny puppies, to aiding elderly dogs with mobility limitations I’ve done it all. I will walk, run, or play with your dogs. I also have a dog of my own that loves to meet new dogs, so a new doggy friend for your pup is available as well! I have experience with cats and other pets as well and am willing to care for them on drop-ins, and walks as well. I am also willing to transport dogs to a local park if your pup is a fan of car rides. Special needs dogs, and dogs requiring medications are welcome. My availability is very flexible. Let me be your dogs new buddy!

Thanks Katie & Evan! You both were great with Ramsey and making him comfortable while we were gone. You guys went above and beyond when dropping in on him and were flexible with him. I’m sure he can’t wait to see you guys again! Thank you so much for putting us at ease while we were away!

Information Katie M. would like to know about your pet

- Do they get along with others? - What’s their energy level (high/medium/low)? - Do they eat better alone? - Where are the favorite pet spots?

A typical day

Generally Evan and I are a fairly outdoorsy couple. We enjoy long hikes on the weekends, or getaways to nearby beaches, but during the week we link to take long walks throughout the neighborhoods around Pentagon City and beyond (Arlington Ridge, Theodore Roosevelt Island, Old Town Alexandria). Evan loves throwing the frisbee and playing fetch, and would love a furry companion to throw with (and to get our own dog Louis to play along with as well). Overall we like to stay clear of the hustle and bustle of the area as much as we can, and enjoy as much greenery as we can find on our walks.

Availability

I work from home except for Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s, but on the days I’m in the office, my partner Evan works from home! We’re available everyday if the week to stop in and check on your furry friend. We typically like to take our own dog outside at 8am, 12pm, 5pm and 10pm with additional breaks if need be. We’re more than happy to adjust our schedules to fit your pets needs as well!
