Pet care experience

Professional dog care 🐶🐾

I have a lot of professional and personal experience working with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I managed a dog daycare, boarding and training facility for many years. I know how to handle dogs who struggle with anxiety, reactivity and fearfulness. I have experience taking care of senior dogs with health issues as well. I had a dog that experienced seizures in the later years of his life. I am experienced with administering medication, whether it’s oral, topical or injection. I have experience with training dogs as well. I use positive reinforcement for my training! I am comfortable with any size dog and any breed, there is no such thing as an “aggressive breed” :) I am more than happy to take on the care of puppies as well. I love all dogs, they are my biggest passion in life 🐶🐾 I believe dogs (and all pets/animals) deserve the absolute best in life!!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I can care for pets in your home/area so they don’t even have to leave their environment. I know most dogs are more comfortable in their own environment! I will obey your wishes with the care of your dog. Walks, meals, treats, play time, cuddle time.. whatever you’d like for your pet I will do. I’ll gladly send photos and updates as well :) I understand it can be stressful leaving your furry children in a strangers care - my dog is my whole world, so I want you to rest assured that I will treat your dog(s) like they are my own!!

Katie is the best! She followed our routine and our (extremely detailed) instructions to a T and sent tons of pics and videos. We have two senior dogs, one who requires daily medication and one hot off the tails of TPLO knee surgery and Katie didn’t bat an eye, she handled all their care and quirks. We will definitely rebook!

Wow!!! Wonderful with dogs ❤️ I’ve had Katie watch my dog and I couldn’t have been happier with the experience. She was communicative and sent me lots of pictures and updates which was amazing. She is reliable and trustworthy, and it’s such a relief knowing my dog is in good hands while in her care. I would absolutely trust Katie to watch my dog again!

I can't recommend Katie enough! She has taken care of my dogs and my neighbors' dogs, and I've always felt completely at ease knowing they were in her care. She is so loving, patient, and attentive with every dog she looks after. It's clear how much she genuinely loves animals, and she treats them all like they're her own. I would trust Katie with my dogs anytime, and she is the first person I recommend to neighbors and acquaintances as well.

Katie is an amazing caretaker, she always pays attention to detail when it comes to my pets and their mannerisms. My pets adore her and I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone to watch their pets!

I’ve had the privilege of seeing firsthand how dedicated she is to animals, and I can’t recommend her enough. She has an incredible eye for detail and always goes the extra mile to make sure every pet is safe, happy, and comfortable. She’s patient, dependable, and takes the time to understand each pet’s unique personality and routine. Whether it’s making sure instructions are followed exactly, providing plenty of exercise and enrichment, or simply giving them the love and attention they deserve, she does it all with genuine care. What sets her apart is that she doesn’t just watch pets, she truly cares for them as if they were her own. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and attentive to every little detail, she’s exactly the kind of person you want caring for your furry family members.

I’d like to know your dogs ideal day. I want them to enjoy their time with me, so I’d like to know what makes them happy. On the other hand, I don’t want them to feel stressed, anxious, or nervous - so I’d like to know what NOT to do as well (quick movements, petting them a certain way, if they have any reactivity with food/water, toys, their leash, other dogs, etc). Pretty much any quirks they have or any special requests or needs.
