Pet care experience
I have grown up and cared for a variety of different types of animals including dogs, cats, horses, birds, and fish. I have trained all of my own dogs as well as those of friends and coworkers. Throughout college, I worked at a local dog rescue on the weekends helping lovable dogs find forever homes. The coordinator always tried to get me to foster or adopt a dog, but because I lived in the dorms at school, I was never able to. I was one of a small few entrusted with handling the puppies or more temperamental dogs during the adoption events. I'm responsible, attentive, and affectionate to every pet I encounter. I always joked with my family that if I weren't so squeamish, I would have loved to have been a vet. I genuinely love animals, and will ensure quality care, affection, and respect for your companion.
Reviews
Katie was great! Highly recommend. Great communication before and after every visit!
Katie was great! She gave me great communication throughout her walk.
Katie is the best! I’ve been using her for walks for about a year now and she is consistently professional and communicative on every single visit. I have felt fully comfortable leaving my dog with her over multiple overseas trips knowing he will be in the best hands. 10/10 recommend!
Katie was fantastic! We weren't able to meet in person beforehand so she did a video meet/greet with my partner. She was punctual and thorough with her visits. Will definitely be contacting her again!

Safety, trust & environment
Pets are allowed on the furniture at my home, but I will enforce any kind of restriction you inform me of, such as not allowing pets on furniture or to jump on people.
Information Katie O. would like to know about your pet
I really have no preference with pets. I am fairly confident in my ability to care for pets of all types of needs. I just like to know if dogs are leash reactive, don't get along with other people or other dogs, are prone to resource guard, or anything that would affect my ability to take care of them.
A typical day
I like to go for runs or walks, and I currently live near a park that I'd be able to take your companion there if you'd like!

Availability
I am in law school currently so my schedule does fluctuate occasionally, but I am happy to discuss and find times that work for you and your pet!
