Pet care experience

RVT, big yard, experienced

I worked as a registered vet tech for 8 years, so I am experienced for all types of care. I love walking the dogs I watch and my dogs love having friends to play with! Whether your dog is active or more laid back, he or she will feel right at home with me. You can rest assured that your dog will be in good hands and feel comfortable with me and my two dog-loving sons! I am looking forward to watching, walking, and/ or caring for your dog in any way he or she needs!

Katie was a great dog sitter! She took great care of my boy and provided me with picture updates to let me know how he was doing. She was extremely flexible with pickup and drop off times and was even able to take my dog in with less than a 24 hour notice.

Katie worked with us on a somewhat last minute holiday weekend request. We appreciated the picture updates.

Katie was so good with my dog, Loyal. She provided me with updates, pictures, and made me feel comfortable the entire time he was away from me. I will definitely be booking with her again!
