Pet care experience
Working with animals is simply one of the most important things in my life! Dogs have always been so important to me and my life, and I’ve always felt that it’s been my duty to make sure they have everything they need to thrive and be happy! From working with animals professionally to owning animals and beyond, I’ve tried to do everything in my power to give every single animal whatever they need. I simply love being able to make dogs smile while providing their owners with peace of mind, so I just can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! My extensive history with animals began when I was 17. I started working at dog boarding facility when I was in high school and got my first taste of professional animal care! I soon moved to a vet hospital and became a Pet Nurse Assistant, where I worked my way up from Assistant to Pet Nurse to Surgical Pet Nurse to Assistant Director of Pet Nursing and, finally, Director of Pet Nursing! It was such an amazing experience and I learned so much there. I then moved on to work with Petsmart for 7-and-a-half years! I’ve also been with Rover for the last 6 years, and have just been doing everything I can to make dogs happy! As you can see, I have all the expertise to ensure that your pup will have everything they need to thrive. When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it’s always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I’m a welcome presence here to make friends, and I’m sure we’ll be best buddies in no time at all. I am all about great communication! (Sometimes, maybe even too good!!) I simply believe that the heart of every good booking is great communication, so I’m here to make you feel like you never left your pup’s side! I am always happy to make sure that you are informed on everything that you need to be kept in the loop on, so taking notes on everything from meal prep to exercise times is never a problem. Of course, I will always send detailed daily updates complete with great pictures of us having tons of fun together!!
Reviews
This was our second time having Katie stay with our fur baby and it was just as great as the first time! Katie is our go to for our future trips!
When we returned, the house was just as we left it & our fur babies were happy as could be so it was easy to see that they were taken care of very well. We got pictures during our time away so we could see how they were doing, which was very important to us. We will use Katie again for future trips.
Katie was great with our pups! She is great at communicating and frequently updating with photos and text messages. We will be booking again with Katie!
Katie is great with our dogs and always leaves the house clean and organized. She's very communicative during her stay and makes me feel completely comfortable about the care of our dogs. Highly recommend!

For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? - Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? - Is your dog spayed/neutered? - Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? - What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? - What’s the best way to spoil your pup?
A typical day
Adventures are always on the docket! I firmly believe that a healthy pup is a happy pup, and will do everything in my power to make sure that your pup’s individual exercise needs are met. Whether that be tons of high-energy playtime or just some cuddles together on the couch, I’ll always find some way to spoil your pup! I just moved to the Denver area, so I’m always doing my best to get out and explore. Thankfully, there’s no better way to do that than with a canine co-pilot, so I relish every opportunity to get out and see something new!
