The Mother Teresa of Dog Moms
Pet care experience
28 years of loving all dogs and I’ve come to realize this is my calling. Love is a four legged word - or in some cases, three, if you’ve ever had the joy of loving a tri-pawed dog. My experience ranges from Shih Tzus to Pit Bulls to my very own two Saint Bernards. I take pride in caring for dogs of all ages with or without special needs. I have experience working with allergy medication, joint supplements, holistic remedies and physical therapy exercises. There’s nothing quite like a week full of long walks and trips to the dog park in between belly rubs and Scooby Snacks for your fur baby while you’re away on vacation. When you come home I’m readily available for quick stops and potty breaks between your long work day and busy schedule. I’m an awesome Dog Mom, but an even cooler Dog Aunt.
Reviews
Katie is just the best thing for your doggies! She has stayed at my home and cared for my Nico on two occasions now. Katie kept in close contact with texts and beautiful photos of my dog which eased my concerns about leaving Nico. She follows directions and advice to a "T" and leaves my home like she found it. I will continue to use Katie when the chance arises and she is not booked with other commitments.
Katie has been an angel for our family! She has taken care of our dogs, cats, goldfish and chickens for several years now when we go on vacation. Our pets love her and get visibly excited anytime they see her! It is so nice to be able to relax on vacation and know that the pets we love are in such good hands ❤️
Prior to our move from Central PA to Eastern PA, Katie was our top choice for watching our special needs dog, Champ and cat, Kitty. Katie is flexible and dependable! She ensures that our fur-kids receive enough attention. Katie also was able to follow specific directions for food and medication and sent us numerous photographs and videos each day. I would highly recommend Katie to watch your fur-kids. She definitely treats them as her own!

Home is where your pet is. I live by that sentiment. I do everything to ensure that at each stay, drop-in or walk that your pet feels like their routine didn’t miss a beat. Other than maybe a few extra treats every now and then! 😋
Information Katie M. would like to know about your pet
What are their quirks? Beauregard loves head scratches and belly rubs, but he pulls on a leash. Bella loves playing tug-a-war and nuzzling in for a snuggle but she barks for attention. They both famously love milkbones and affirmations. What makes your pup’s tail wag and what doesn’t? I want to be the home away from home to your beloved pup. I am absolutely in love with giant breed dogs but don’t discrimate against any furry friend. You’ll never find me shying away from any dog in sight. I loved being surrounded by wo(man’s) best friend!
A typical day
It’s all about the pup! We can go bye-byes, stop for ice cream on the way home from the dog park, play fetch in the backyard or curl up on the couch for massive snuggles and belly rubs. It’s a dog’s world, I’m just living in it!

Availability
I have an incredibly flexible schedule. That’s the beauty of working from my phone and laptop! I’m a social media marketing consultant, which gives me the ability to balance work and play! Or fetch, whichever your pet prefers! 🐶❤️🐱
