Pet care experience
Ready to spoil your fur babies! 🐾
Hi! I'm Katie, a certified dog groomer, dog trainer, and lifelong animal lover. I've worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including puppies, seniors, and dogs that need a little extra patience and understanding. I have experience with: • Dog walking • Drop-in visits • Overnight pet sitting • Multi-pet households • Basic medication administration • Feeding and maintaining routines • Training reinforcement and enrichment I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I'll make sure they are safe, comfortable, loved, and treated like family while you're away. I provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands.

Schedule
Pet care is already a big part of my daily life. As a dog trainer and groomer, I spend much of my time caring for animals, and I have dogs of my own as well. My flexible schedule allows me to provide walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the week. Because working with animals is both my profession and my passion, caring for pets fits naturally into my routine.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I'm a professional dog trainer with six dogs of my own, so caring for animals is a big part of my everyday life. All of my dogs are socialized and get along well with other dogs. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and exercise, and because I make my own schedule, I'm able to be flexible and provide plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. When caring for pets in my home, they are treated like family. They receive regular potty breaks, exercise, enrichment, playtime, and lots of affection. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. As someone who works professionally with dogs and even takes my own dogs to work with me, I understand how important trust, consistency, and positive care are for every pet.

A typical day
A typical day starts with potty breaks, breakfast, and some time to get settled in. Throughout the day, pets get plenty of attention, supervised playtime, outdoor time in my fenced yard, walks if requested, and enrichment activities to keep them mentally stimulated. Since I make my own schedule and work with dogs professionally, I'm able to spend a lot of time with the pets in my care rather than leaving them alone for long periods. Fun activities can include playing fetch, tug-of-war, sniffing games, enrichment puzzles, basic training games, walks, and supervised social time with my friendly dogs if the owner is comfortable with it. Every pet is different, so I tailor activities to their age, energy level, and personality. Whether your pet loves adventure or prefers cuddles on the couch, I'll make sure they have a fun, safe, and stress-free stay.
