Foster parent and Haus Elf roommate
Pet care experience
I’ve taken care of pups ever since I professionally showed and trained my first dog in agility at age 12! I’ve grown up with both medium and large dogs, and cared for small and everywhere in between! I’m also a foster mom and currently live with my foster fail - a rambunctious haus elf named Dobby. I’m looking forward to helping your pup feel right at home!
Reviews
Katie is amazing! She is so caring and will go above and beyond for your pet. She is very detailed in her updates and very communicative. She is so willing to follow your individuals pets care instructions and leaves you feeling assured and confident that you’re pet is getting the care they need. Highly recommend Katie!
Katie kept my senior gal for 12 days while I was traveling and was so wonderful! She sent me numerous photos and videos keeping me up to date about what they were up to. With my fluffy senior, Katie kept an eye on what she was capable of in the late spring heat. My dog had some stomach upset and Katie took great care of her- keeping an eye on her, keeping me in the loop, and even reaching out to my vet and sharing their recommendation with me while I was traveling. Katie followed the care instructions to a t- including me remembering last minute that my dog would be due for her heartworm/flea/tick meds while she was there. My dog enjoyed spending time with Katie and Dobby!
Katie went above and beyond to ensure Tom had an amazing stay. He came home so happy, made me wonder if he even wanted to leave her! Her dog is so sweet and gets along very well with other dogs, and Tom is a bit smaller. I received regular pupdates which I loved. She took him on really nice, long walks and even to a farm. If you want to ensure immaculate service for your pet, book Katie. You will be worry-free the whole time you are apart. Thanks, Katie!!
Katie eased all the anxiety I had in leaving my 2 year old rescue with a sitter. My dog Padme can be very anxious, food possessive, and very reactive on a leash — Katie handled all of this expertly and I couldn’t have asked for more. Katie’s pup Dobby is so sweet & her and Padme had so much fun playing and cuddling together all weekend. I know because Katie sent so many cute and thoughtful pictures and updates! So relieved I found such a wonderful sitter and I would 100 percent leave Padme at Katie’s again!

I live in a spacious apartment with one other sweet, playful pup who’s always up for some fun. There is a dog park in my community for some off-leash running and play time, along with plenty of places to walk in the neighborhood. I can also crate your pup and provide toys as needed.

Information Katie O. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any specific needs or behaviors, especially when it comes to interacting with other dogs. My dog would love to join on a walk but obviously I will accommodate if this isn’t comfortable for your pup.
A typical day
My dog and I know all the fun parks and cool walking areas around! We also like hiking if that’s something of interest. We have plenty of toys and treats to go around.
