Pet care experience
Dog Owner & Trusted Pet Care
Hi! My name is Katie, and I have been around animals my entire life. I have owned and cared for dogs since I was born and have experience caring for both dogs and foster cats of all ages. I am comfortable handling puppies, kittens, adult pets, and senior animals, and I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines. I currently have two friendly, neutered, and trained dogs who are well-socialized with other animals. If a pet prefers their own space, I also have the ability to keep dogs separated to ensure everyone remains safe and comfortable. My home is equipped with supplies for dogs, including crates and other essentials, and I am happy to accommodate additional needs whenever possible. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, feeding, medication reminders, cuddles, or simply a reliable companion while you’re away, I will treat them like family. In addition, I am CPR and First Aid certified and have extensive volunteer experience in healthcare. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and cared for throughout every stay.

Ratings and reviews
We had a wonderful experience! She took such great care of our dog while we were away for a few days. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We really appreciated her kindness, reliability, and the love she showed our pup. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy Rover sitter!
Amazing experience! Communication was outstanding from start to finish. I received frequent updates, photos, and videos, which made being away from my dogs so much easier and gave me complete peace of mind. Each of my two dogs received individualized attention and loving care, and I could tell they were genuinely happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their stay. By the end of their visit, it was obvious that Katie had taken the time to truly learn their unique personalities and preferences, allowing her to better meet their needs for future stays. I highly recommend Katie to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate, and attentive dog boarding. Knowing my dogs are in such caring hands is priceless!
I’m happy to recommend Katie for any care your pet needs. i have had great experience with Katie! She is always reliable, shows up on time, and clearly cares a lot about the animals she works with. My dogs absolutely love her and get excited every time she comes to walk them. It’s been a huge help having someone I can trust to take care of my dogs when I’m busy. I’d would highly recommend her to anyone nearby who needs a dependable and caring pet walker.
I am happy to recommend Katie for dog walking and pet care services. She is extremely caring, responsible and dependable person who has a genuine love for animals. When she walked my two dogs she was always punctual, trustworthy and communicated consistently when she was caring for my dogs. I feel very comfortable leaving my dogs in her care. They love her too always excited to see her.

Schedule
I am a recent high school graduate and an incoming University of Florida student, so I have a very flexible schedule throughout the summer. I have reliable transportation and am available for boarding, drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting throughout the week and on weekends. Because of my open availability, I can accommodate early mornings, evenings, and last-minute requests whenever possible. My goal is to provide dependable care that works with both your schedule and your pet’s routine.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a safe, pet-friendly home with supplies to care for dogs of all ages, including puppies and senior dogs. I also have two friendly, neutered, and trained dogs who are comfortable around other animals. If needed, I can easily keep pets separated using crates and separate areas of the home to ensure everyone feels comfortable and secure. I am experienced with both dogs and cats, including foster cats, puppies, and kittens. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special requests provided by owners. I currently have a senior dog of my own and have experience administering medications and following consistent care routines. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
