Pet care experience

Home+yard just for your pup! Walks!

I am a dog lover who is currently without a dog for the first time in my life. I know firsthand how stressful it can be to find a secure trusted situation for your dog when you are traveling. Let me help (and give me the joy of having a dog in my home for a few days)! I have watched many dogs through the years and understand the quirks that make each dog special. I will gladly reinforce your expectations while keeping the focus on safety and making your dog feel loved. I have a single family home with a fenced yard. I am happy to watch one dog at a time or two from the same family. I love to walk and will gladly provide lots of exercise for your dog! Additionally, I raised three kids in San Francisco and have lived here for over 25 years.

Katie took great care of my 12 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback. I received daily updates and pictures and I could tell Ralphie was in good loving hands.

Katie was a life saver. We needed a sister overnight for an event in the city and she was super accommodating with our timing. But more importantly, Mookie wasn’t having his best day, injured paw, fatigued. She gave him the TLC you would give your own dog. Very communicative. I’ll look for her next time I need dog care in SF.

Katie was wonderful with Fillmore! Communication was great, and she took him on lots of walks and sent pics and updates. He got an upset stomach and she took great care of him. We felt very comfortable having Fillmore with Katie while we were out of town.

Katie was wonderful watching my dog Louie! She gave him lots of attention and walks and communicated with me the entire stay. I would love to have her watch my dog again.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a single family home with a fenced yard with plenty of pee spots. My house is very dog friendly (as am I) and I listen to instructions and descriptions of your pet's needs. I understand that each dog is special and are treated with great care.

Walks, of course! I will keep your dog on leash unless we confirm otherwise. I will give lots of attention at home. Keeping your pet safe and content is the priority!
