Pet care experience

Your pup’s new best friend!

Dogs have always had a special place in my heart (and on my couch). Whether your pup loves belly rubs, long walks, or just snoozing in the sun, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’ve cared for dogs big and small, energetic and chill, and I always tailor their stay to match their vibe. I treat every dog like my own and always send lots of photo updates so you can relax knowing your fur baby is in great hands. Let me know your dog’s quirks, routines, and favorite treats. I’m all about making their stay feel just like home! I may not have any pets of my own right now, but that just means your dog gets my full, undivided attention (and all the cuddles). No sharing toys, beds, or space. Your pup is the star of the show when they’re with me!

Thank you for taking care of Happy so well and for your flexibility since this was such as impromptu request. I was able to relax while I was out of the country knowing you were taking care of him.

Katie did an amazing job taking care of my cat Harlow while I was away! She sent detailed report cards every day and I came home to a happy cat. I definitely recommend her.

Katie was amazing with our cat! She sent soooo many pictures and updates every day and I felt confident that he was being well taken care of. I would definitely boom with her again.

About me: My name is Katie. I moved to Austin in Oct 2024. I have been dog sitting on Rover for 2 years prior in OC! I am excited to meet more dogs in Austin and explore all the parks and trails with them!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a dog friendly apartment complex next to a lake, trail, and dog park. I can fit a crate anywhere as well. I live in a small apartment so I can easily have eyes on your dog at all times.

A typical day

I usually like to follow their normal schedule so I can fit our activities to what they’re used to daily! I do love to go on walks with dogs and play fetch with them. I also just love cuddling with them on the couch watching tv. If they are great around other dogs, we live by a fenced in dog park that they can run around in.

I do not have a lot of experience caring for special needs dogs but I am willing to follow any instructions and directions provided. I do not have any pets, so I do not have any pet supplies on hand. I would need a dog bag packed with daily necessities for your dog including food/water bowls, poop bags, toys, treats, etc. A crate/dog bed is only necessary if your dog typically sleeps there. Otherwise, we love having them sleep next to us in bed!
