Pet care experience

Like many people, I grew up with dogs (mainly labs), but then fell in love with rescuing seniors when I started living on my own. I’ve had two seniors of my own so far, and I had to say goodbye to my Riley girl in September, but still have so much love to give and I'd love to pour it into your fur baby. Aside from my own, I’ve taken care of many friends’ and neighbors’ dogs, accidentally becoming the place they want to visit instead of going on their walks. (I don’t mind, I will gladly be the neighborhood “dog lady.”) From puppies to seniors and all sizes in between, I’m happy to watch any size or age. I still have Riley’s stroller for the older doggos who might prefer to ride instead of walk. I take after my grandma who put animals above all humans, and I would treat yours like my own with all the comfort and care and playtime and adventures—it would be an honor to host your pup for sleepaway camp!

Katie took great care of our pup while we were gone. She took her on multiple outings and kept her entertained. Thanks for a great stay!

Katie was amazing with my Danner! I had an emergency pop up where I had to fly to my home town and Katie was so nice and flexible with me! Danner came home happy and pooped from all the fun he had! Definitely recommend Katie!

Katie was so nice and gave very sweet updates/photos of Kuechly while we were away. I would definitely book another boarding with her as her love for caring for dogs really shows! Thank you Katie!

Information Katie P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs (food allergies, sensitivities, medication, fears, etc.) or behavior things I should be aware of (counter surfing, territorial with food, etc.) as well as what type of commands they understand and what type of rewards or training they respond to.

A typical day

I LOVE to go for walks. My neighborhood is connected to many other neighborhoods, all with sidewalks, so it's very walkable here. I also like to go on "adventure walks" to Duke forest, the Eno and Shelley Lake, depending on the dog's comfort and reactivity level. Happy to incorporate any other adventures or activities (like dog parks) your dog enjoys.

I work remotely three days a week and have some flexibility the other two, so I'm able to spend as much (or as little for those sassy, independence-loving doggos) with your fur baby. I'm also open to travel outside of my radius listed depending.
