Ready to walk your pup!
Pet care experience
Hello! I am a substitute teacher & mom of three boys in elementary school. We have a 9 year old GSD who thinks she's a lap dog, a grouchy, 15 year old kitty who keeps to herself, and a 5 year old floof ball who is every bit a scaredy cat. I foster kittens through the ARL and love all the baby cuddles! I would love to help walk and care for your dog! I can also do drop in visits to feed, play & cuddle your dog, cat, or small caged pets!
Reviews
Katie responded quickly and helped watch my pup while I was traveling. A++!
Mulaney had a great time with Katie and her family! We had no worries while we were away on vacation, knowing he was in great hands!

Safety, trust & environment
I know that every dog and cat is different, from their personality and temperament, to their dietary and exercise needs. I like to make sure I have a good understanding of what their needs are so I can best meet those!
Information Katie N. would like to know about your pet
No breed preferences or restrictions! We have a 90 lb GSD who is dog reactive (we are *always* training with positive reinforcement to help her in this area and she’s much improved since we adopted her). I’ve learned a lot about dog behavior from our amazing trainer and don’t believe any one breed is better/worse than another.
A typical day
I really enjoy taking walks! We take our pup on 2, 2 mile walks everyday around our neighborhood. Because she is dog reactive, I stay hyper aware of my surroundings and often change up our route to avoid off leash dogs... But this usually leads us on new adventures that we enjoy! We can’t take her to parks but I would *love* to walk your pup through a local park if that’s what they enjoy!
