I work from home with little travel so am home most of the time! I keep my client list small to ensure your animals get the attention they deserve! I love to be active! In my home, it's just Luna (3 yr old lab mix) and I. Your pet can play and sleep the day away!

Pet care experience

I've had numerous dogs my entire life. As an adult, I've consistently had at least one dog, which I consider to be my baby. I have one dog now, a lab mix named Luna. I have a fenced in yard and we love to go for walks and car rides! If you want your pup to go for a hike, that's a bonus as we would love to! I do travel during the week, but would love to cater to your fur baby while you get away on the weekend! I'm also no stranger to pet sitting. While I travel for work, I use Rover and have a great pet sitter to looks after Luna so I know what a good sitter is and I'll be that for you and your family!

Katie has watched my dogs a few times now and she has always been amazing! She sends lots of photos and updates throughout their stay. She’s great at communicating as well. Highly recommend Katie!
