So fetch 🐾

Pet care experience

I have loved all dogs and cats from a young age. My family bred miniature dachshunds when I was growing up and have always felt better when there is a furry friend around. Now I prefer larger dogs for myself but don't discriminate no matter the size. My yellow lab, Arendelle, is my best friend. She is happy to join me on my adventures or get spoiled by her grandparents if you prefer a solo care experience. Either way I'm here for your pet care needs. A little bit about me; I have been traveling across the country for the past two years with my pup in our self converted tiny home. I love getting to show the world to her and letting her sniff all the new smells. We are back in Virginia for the next six months to train and save up funds to hike to Mount Everest Base Camp!

Katie was great, she listened to the needs as requests that we had and followed through with them. She sent updates and responded to my texts promptly. Our dogs were treated very well and kept safe while we were away. I will definitely be looking to book with Katie in the future. Thank you again Katie! 💕

Katie is an excellent sitter! She is very responsible, reliable, and responsive and took excellent care of my new puppy. She was always available last minute, graciously worked around my schedule, and gave great updates throughout the day. My puppy and her dog got along great and played the entire day. My puppy would wait at the door every morning waiting for them to come. I highly recommend Katie and trusted her with my new puppy completely!

My wife and I have entrusted the temporary care of our fur babies to Katie for many years now and she always remains our first choice. We had many pets over the years and currently have a nine-year-old Golden Lab with diabetes and hip pain issues that each require regular injections to keep her at her best; Ollie has learned that she receives a shot of insulin son after eating. She has gone on hunger strikes when others have cared for her while excitedly running to Katie each time she sees her and never going hungry.

Information Katie M. would like to know about your pet

It is always good to know any triggers your pet has or things that make their tails wag. I want to make them feel as conferable as possible during the stressful time their human is away.

A typical day

I can accommodate any activity level. Whether that is playing fetch, hiking, or curling up on the couch. Let me know what you baby prefers and I can match their needs.
