Animal lover excited to meet you!
Pet care experience
Like many people, I grew up with cats and dogs. I began dog walking and sitting through Rover 6 years ago and have had the opportunity to meet so many amazing pets and their owners. I have found a true sense of purpose as a pet caregiver over the years and it is something I plan to do for a very long time. I love being outdoors in the fresh air and being able to stretch our legs. It’s also a treat to just chill out on the couch together after some playtime. I truly enjoy being around doggies (and kitties!), it's a therapeutic experience for both of us! I've recently been providing care to lots of cats in my area. I've really enjoyed that because as a cat owner myself, I know how important socialization is for them. Yes they are usually self-sufficient, but they love pets and playtime just as much as pups do. Thank you for considering me as your pet sitter!

Safety, trust & environment
I always make sure we walk in a safe area and avoid other dogs if that is a concern for the owner. I give them time to get acquainted to me so to establish trust (treats usually help too!) I follow the owners instructions for care and respect their wishes.
Information Katie P. would like to know about your pet
Is your dog friendly with new people and children? On walks, will they try to jump on people walking by or just smell them? Do you have any dietary restrictions I should know about?
A typical day
Explore the neighborhood in our area and the great outdoors We will throw some toys around and play fetch if you like to And of course they can look forward to a treat at the end of our visit
Services

Availability
Please see my calendar for availability. I am available during the day and in the evenings at the moment. I am fairly flexible with my schedule and do my best to accommodate others. My daughter comes along with me to a lot of my visits and has been ever since she was 4 years old (she is now 11). If you have any concern with your pet being around kids let me know and I will do my best to accommodate.
