Pet care experience

Throughout the past few years I've been able to help dogs walk better on a leash just by taking them on regular trips. I'm patient and happy to adjust to the dog's normal routine and the family's expectations so rules are still followed when they return. Overall, I'm doing this because I love dogs and want to care for them just as you do!

She responded to my message immediately when I needed someone to watch my dog that same day. She was very flexible, responsive, and kind. Highly recommend this sitter!

Katie did a wonderful job watching our senior dog who has PTSD. She was very accommodating by staying at our house to care for her. Katie was very sweet and patient and spent a lot of time with our dog. She took her for walks, loved on her, and met all her quirky needs. Katie was very trustworthy and had respect for our home. She was very thoughtful by sending daily updates and photos. I highly recommend her and would definitely have her sit for my dog again.
