🐾 In your home, you know what’s best when it comes to your babies care so whatever your preferences, requests, rules, and asks of me are is exactly what I am going to deliver! I'm here to give you the peace of mind that comes from knowing they are being cared for exactly like you would & loved like they're my own in your absence!
Information Katie M. would like to know about your pet
How they do on a leash (are they pullers), how they do when they see other dogs, any quirks about where they will go potty, any fears they have (traffic, loud noises, anything that will startle them), their fitness level and how much exertion they're comfortable with, any food aggression or peculiar food habits, what are their favorite treats (if allowed), do they have any toys or favorite games (fetch, etc.), are they known for being escape artists or attempted ones, do they have any allergies or specific dietary restrictions/requirements, do they have any other special needs, where do they sleep, how much do they eat and what time, what’s their favorite spot for scratches and pets, and any/all other details you want me to know to make sure they’re happy & healthy! I follow your lead and theirs to give them the best care possible!
A typical day
🐾 I love taking dogs for walks in nearby parks or neighborhoods (anywhere that we can explore new scents and get lots of outside stimulation from nature) and I can play a mean game of fetch, but my snuggling skills are second to none too! I'm quite good at carrying on full blown conversations with them all day (complete with them answering me of course) and if taking a million pet pictures was an olympic sport, I'd definitely take home the gold medal :)

Pet care experience
🐾 Hi! I took a break from pet sitting because corporate America was consuming my life (0/5 stars, don’t recommend, seriously terrible experience), but I’m SO EXCITED to get back to doing what I love again!! I’m proud to be a certified crazy dog & cat lady - I have two dogs & four cats and I've taken care of dogs & cats of every kind over the past 15 years. Ever seen some crazy girl wearing a hoodie with her cat's face all over it? Yeah, that's me. Ever been so obsessed with your pets that you contemplated tattooing yourself with their paw print? Yep, I did it. Ya know the weird girl that jumps up and down everytime she sees a dog and asks to pet them? You guessed it, that's me. There's only one thing I"m truly passionate about and it's animals! I love dogs of all sizes & have experience with all different temperments & personalities over the years as well - from the laziest of the lazy who want nothing more than to nap 85% of the day to the highest strung herders who need a job all day long, I've had them all! I have a lot of experience with special needs & senior animals as well - our mini dachshund is fully deaf & visually impaired so her disabilities are a part of our everyday life!

Reviews
Katie was AMAZING! So sweet to Oliver and gave me constant updates so I felt at ease knowing he was in great hands while I was away. Will definitely rebook!
Katie was great! Clearly an animal lover. I was in town to see family and left my dog with her twice. I haven’t left my dog since the pandemic started and was a bit nervous but she made me feel comfortable right away. And the second time we brought our dog to her he ran right to the door and was happy to be there. thank you Katie for making this helicopter dog mom feel relaxed leaving my dog with you!
I can’t say enough. I haven’t ever felt better leaving my baby, Mocha, with anyone. Katie helped me through the process with great patience, as this was my first time using Rover. I received lots of photos of Mocha, and updates during her stay. Katie made me feel comfortable, every step of the way. I can only pray that the next time we have to leave our girl, that Katie has availability. I would absolutely recommend her for any pet lover that wants the BEST accommodations for their four-legged family members.
Katie was fantastic with our dog. She sent us updates and pictures during his stay. When we arrived to pick him up, and before he realized we were there. we got to see how happy and content he was with Katie, I would have zero hesitation in recommending Katie and will book with her again.
